i would like to add things like tweet buttons, etc. just above the actual forum, is that possible ?
Do you mean on every page, or just the index?
Yes you can easily add twitter button anywhere you want. Just put your twitter button code in between <div> </div>
Tags.
You have a lot of answers, but they basically tell me nothing, where the heck are the <div> Tags located, you have to remember, if i knew where this stuff was, i wouldnt be asking these questions.
Hello.

I've done this before, all you need is to grab the Twitter code from their website and open your footer template and place it at the appropriate place.
place it at the appropriate place. ?? here again a vague answer, Are heir any staff here that can draw me a map of how to do this ?

I need detailed instructions such as

1. go to ACP
2. Open themes and templates
3. Click on blah blah template
etc.
I really dont mean to be dense here, but im not a MyBB software developer, im just an end user trying to get this thing to work without crashing the whole thing.

Somewhere their should be detailed info on how to do everything that could possibly be needed. Not just "Here it is, Figure it out" !
Well, you posted the correct instructions in your post Wink If you want it above forums, add it at the bottom of header template.

And if you expect a more detailed answer than this, first provide a more detailed description... Here are some tips: http://community.mybb.com/forum-176.html

So, here is the bottom of the header goop, Youre telling me to just copy paste the HTML code at the very bottom of this and a Twitter button will appear right where i want it to be ??

<!-- </div> in header_welcomeblock_member and header_welcomeblock_guest -->
<!-- </div> in header_welcomeblock_member and header_welcomeblock_guest -->

The problem is that we still don't know where is "right where i want it to be". We can't read your mind. Your description is not only far away from being detailed, but also ambiguous.


"i would like to add things like tweet buttons, etc. just above the actual forum,"

1. Actual forum could either mean the whole forum (so, as I said, place it in header) or many other things - for example forum bits on index or forum display with threads. Which one do you mean?
2. Then there is probably a specific place you think of - on the right/left side, next to XXX or whatever. A screenshot or board URL would be helpful, please read the tips I posted above.
Whatever, im gonna dump this nightmare and go back to My VBulletin.
