I'm using classic theme. Is it possible to split the news cell below the menu at the top so that I can have one cell from the split to put in the shoutbox. I've tried many times but end up being different. Can someone suggest the best way?

I added:
<td width="150" bgcolor="#A99A50" height="24" class="windowbg2">', smfshout(),'</td>
Below:
// Show a random news item? (or you could pick one from news_lines...)
if (!empty($settings['enable_news']))
echo '<b>', $txt[102], ':</b> ', $context['random_news_line'];
echo '<br></td>
Where have I done wrong? :-\
You'll need to make the column the user info is in and the menu is in colspan="2"...
