how do I go about editing the header, footer and left and right side of the forums?
Open your_theme_name/index.template.php, and you will find two functions. template_main_above(), and template_main_below(), they are the header and footer functions. You can edit the left right from them too. :)
Hi,
template_main_above(), and template_main_below() ? I don't see this.
I opened up the file called themes and then default. From there I see a file called index.template.php. I opened this file up and see a bunch of tables and php coding. But did not see anything called template_main_above(), and template_main_below().
