ahem...First i would like to request this be put in tips and tricks.
now to get started!
how to make another index:
requirments: global headers and footers mod or the abillity to edit the headers and footers without the mod.
simply insert this code in your header

<!-- Begin Tabs Up Top.   Code by simply sibyl  -->
<div class="tborder">

<!-- Header area where it says Links in the top header.
==========================================================
You can replace the word Links with whatever you want
========================================================== -->

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="catbg" height="32">
<span>Links</span>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- End Header area where it says links.  -->


<!-- Begin Tab area.
==========================================================================
Replace "http://sibylstestsite.smfforfree3.com"  with YOUR forum url"
Replace "url goes here" and "link" for each tab.
To add more tabs:
Add this for each tab you want to add:
<td valign="top" class="maintab_back"><a href="url goes here">link</a></td>
=========================================================================== -->   

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="margin-left: 10px;">
<tr>
<td class="maintab_first"> </td>
<td class="maintab_active_first"> </td>
<td valign="top" class="maintab_active_back"><a href="http://rpgamer.prohosts.org">Home</a>
</td>
<td class="maintab_active_last"> </td>

<td valign="top" class="maintab_back"><a href="http://myspace.com">myspace</a></td>
<td valign="top" class="maintab_back"><a href="url goes here">link</a></td>
<td valign="top" class="maintab_back"><a href="url goes here">link</a></td>
<td valign="top" class="maintab_back"><a href="url goes here">link</a></td>
<td valign="top" class="maintab_back"><a href="url goes here">link</a></td>
<td valign="top" class="maintab_back"><a href="url goes here">link</a></td>

<td class="maintab_last"> </td>
</tr>
</table><br>
</div>
<!-- End Tabs Up Top -->





and where it says <td class="maintab_first"> </td>
<td class="maintab_active_first"> </td>
<td valign="top" class="maintab_active_back"><a href="http://rpgamer.prohosts.org">Home</a>
</td>
<td class="maintab_active_last"> </td>


remove the rpgamer.prohosts.org and replace it with your home page.


and where it also says:<td valign="top" class="maintab_back"><a href="http://myspace.com">myspace</a></td>
<td valign="top" class="maintab_back"><a href="url goes here">link</a></td>
<td valign="top" class="maintab_back"><a href="url goes here">link</a></td>
<td valign="top" class="maintab_back"><a href="url goes here">link</a></td>
<td valign="top" class="maintab_back"><a href="url goes here">link</a></td>
<td valign="top" class="maintab_back"><a href="url goes here">link</a></td> replace the "url goes here with the link for that tab and replace it with yours. and if you read a little more after "url goes here" it says "link" replace that with the name of your link.
