Hi guys Smile

How do i add another link with an icon at the top of my forum next to the others (where Search/Member List & Calendar etc) is?

heres my board & i want the new link to go inbetween gallery & Member list Smile

Also if you look at my page, the Gallery icon is sitting a little high compared to the other icons? how do i make it level so its same level as the others as it looks odd! Sad ?
1. Go to Templates & Style>Templates>WhateverTemplateSetYou'reUsing>Header Templates>Header

2. Find the following:
<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>

3. Depending on where you want the link, paste the following into the list above.
<li><a href="YOU'RE LINK HERE"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/YOU'RE IMAGES HERE" alt="" title="" />NAME HERE{$lang->toplinks_NAME_HERE}</a></li>

4. Save the template, and you're done.
thanks Smile will try it tonight when im home from work, ta Smile
jus tried it, it dint work, it added link but also put a black bar underneath & made the menu go out of place :s ?

heres the code for the others thats already there:

<ul class="menu top_links">							<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/search.php" class="search">{$lang->toplinks_search}</a></li><li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/ezgallery.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/images/icons/photo.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->ezgallery_menu}</a></li>							<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/memberlist.php" class="memberlist">{$lang->toplinks_memberlist}</a></li>							<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/calendar.php" class="calendar">{$lang->toplinks_calendar}</a></li>
Can you provide a link to your forum so we can see what's wrong?

just had another pop at it but still same prob Sad

heres current code i entered:

<li><a href="www.test.com"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/images/icons/photo.gif" alt="" title="" />test{$lang->toplinks_test}</a></li>


ah haa, oki think ive sussed it, but theres a big gap beteen each link, how do i lessen the space between the links :s ?
Use this instead:
<li><a href="http://www.test.com" class="newlink">test</a></li>

And add this to global.css:
#panel .upper ul.top_links a.newlink {
	background-image: url(images/1/icons/search.gif);
}
will give it ago & let you know, ta Smile
ermm, where abouts in global.css?

You can add it anywhere in the global.css file, it's just css code. (Relating to AJS's post)
