Hello I just installed your forums and they work great. :) I wanted to know if it was possible to add a drop down menu to the index.template.php Just to the right of the navigation buttons. IE home,help,search and so on. This is what i want to use After I change the links. Thank you for your help.

Just add it in index.template.php, where you want it, and replace any ' in it with \'.

Ok this is what I now get. After uploading that to the template. And actually there where only 2 of these ' in the code one here--> Pet Bed's and one here-->Link's So I just removed them all together. But I still get that error below. Any suggestions ???
Parse error: parse error in /home/ravenpro/public_html/forums/Themes/default/index.template.php on line 428
Can you quote the section you put it in? Meaning a few lines before and a few lines after?
-[Unknown]
yes I can here it is. the top one will be line 428 as in the error. And the other will be from the template itself. This is only a partial part of the code hope it makes sense. ::)
PS here is the forum page itself. http://www.ravenprom.org/forums/index.php

Put the section above the }, don't add a {, and put this before it:
echo '
And this after it:
';

Thank you very much works great. :D
JTD and [unknown],
Thanks for the code.
After a bit of experimenting, I sucessfully added my own menu exactly where I wanted it and with my colors. Works Great!
