can anyone please guide me as to how i can add a menu menu item with an externel link to my forum?
for example here is my forum
www.braindirector.com/nimbuzz
how can i add a menu item to that forum? new menu item/button etc should point to myhosting page that is
www.braindirector.com/hosting
a step by step tutorial will be much appreciated
Thanks i'll try today and let you know how it goes. One question though. After i add these items will i have to rearrange numbers too?
1
2
3
Now if i want one more at number 2 i'll have rearrange the following line numbers too?

Go to ACP -> Templates & Styles (top) -> Templates (left) -> Your template name -> header
There you find some code and 4 lines which will look similar to example below. (depends on template)
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/search.php"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/search.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_search}</a></li>
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/memberlist.php"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/memberlist.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_memberlist}</a></li>
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/calendar.php"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/calendar.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_calendar}</a></li>
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=help"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/help.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_help}</a></li>
Each line represents 1 menu link.
if you want to add another one, you may simply copy one of them, paste below and modify to your likes.

This is how your additional menu link may looks like (You may paste it below these 4 lines)
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/hosting">Hosting</a></li>
@avril- just tried it out but
first off- i am using cure theme and there are no code lines like the one you mentione
second- it added the link but not in the top menu but just above the recent post
third-link was broken braindirector.com/nimbuzz/hosting

@.m. i just tried it out and it worked. but the problem is i want to use thecure theme but it is working on the default theme only. how do i make it work with thecure theme?
