Hi,

I am trying to develop a forum for a fan site I am building and have kinda gotten hold of the skinning template system that myBB employs but I am running into two fairly major (for me anyway) issues and was looking for some assistance with these.

1) On the forum main page I am completely unable to center the menu bar at the top (with login and register on it) and also the bottom menu bar (the one with contact on it). I would also like to remove the page generation stats and center the copyright notice.

Could anyone help with these things?

Example:- http://vanillaninja.co.uk/forum/index.php

2) In the quoting of a post a really bizarre ugly thing happens that I don't really know how to describe. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could make the quoting more asthetically pleasing and also include the time of the original post?

Example:- http://vanillaninja.co.uk/forum/showthre...pid=4#pid4

Any help that you could give on either of these issues would be much appreciated.

PS I know the flash links don't work, I haven't updated them as I am purely in planning stage at the moment Big Grin
1) Centering links is possible but tricky. Very few people have been able to do it! As for removing generation stats, do this:

Admin CP > Templates > Modify / Delete > *template set expand* > footer > Change Original > Remove
<div id="debug"><debugstuff></div>
As for centering copyright, do this:

Admin CP > Templates > Modify / Delete > *template set expand* > css > Change Original > Find:
#copyright {
	font: $theme[smallfontsize] $theme[smallfont];
	margin: 0;
	padding: 10px 0 0 0;
}
and replace with
#copyright {
	font: $theme[smallfontsize] $theme[smallfont];
	margin: 0;
	padding: 10px 0 0 0;
	text-align: center;
}
That should work!

2) This is possible. I'll do this later. Havn't got time atm.
