I get asked a lot for my code on how to make a top header and side borders for a forum. You can see an example by going to: http://yorkiechat.net. This assumes you have a Fixed Size of 800. You will notice in the Header and Footer the widths are 808. This is to compensate a 4px border we will add.
Another super simple Mod that really enhances the overall look of the forum. First off you'll need to adjust the header template.
Paste below and edit where needed:
Next we'll need to edit the Footer
Now in the .page CSS area add this to the Extra CSS attributes. Change the color as necessary to fit your forum.
And finally add this to the Additional CSS area. Again change colors as needed to fit your forum.
For those using vBadvanced
adv_portal template
Find:
Replace With:
Add in Additional CSS Area
And thats it! Cool little mod to make your site POP!
