Moving the navbar up & fixing search box
So basically I want the navigation bar to move up like so
Before
After
As you can tell the gray line in between is covered by the navbar.
I also want to hide the default links and make my own custom links. As you can tell the links are white now and look like so:
Home | Portal | FAQ | Search | Member List | Profile | Messages | Log Out
Okay hopefully your following me because here comes the tricky part. I still want the messages link to display "New Message" when someone receives a new one. Unless there is a way to override the default links and hide some.
Also I effed something up and not quite sure what happened but now the search bar is in gibberish or code.
Like so:
Now I already figured out how to move the search bar just need help fixing this gibberish. It has nothing to do with the CSS because it was like that once I imported my theme.

Re: Moving the navbar up & fixing search box
Hi,
I'm sure we can move the nav. bar up via templates, Ive seen the code for it somewhere.
Are you willing to edit the templates?
EDIT1:
Found it again lol
God I hate obsolete phpbb2 coding
Now, are you using your banner left, right or centred?
EDIT2: Hmm, that didn't really move it, I'll keep trying
EDIT3: can you post the link to your forum & inform us if you have edited the CSS or templates?
EDIT4:
Found it perfectly & backups
Go to your template General/Overall_header_new and press CTRL+F and insert this into the popup box GENERATED and you should come up with this code
Now, copy this code: {GENERATED_NAV_BAR}
and scroll up your templates to locate: alt="{L_INDEX}" vspace="1" /></a> and immediately after it add{GENERATED_NAV_BAR} ( hit the space bar once then paste the code) and repeat that for the other 2 times you should see that code.
Now save & publish the code
So you should come up with a result like my test forum has http://testorial.forumotion.com

Re: Moving the navbar up & fixing search box
Basically I want to move up the navbar to touch the banner. I am sure I can make a CSS code to ignore the top round edges on the nav bar and the bottom round edges on the banner. Also if it isn't to much to ask can you help me out with the search bar. I want it in the top corner of the banner like it is now but when I scale down my browser it moves
EDIT: I just realized I cannot template edit as I am on phpbb3. If I have to I will move down to phpbb2 just need to remake the theme.

Re: Moving the navbar up & fixing search box
You could always use the more CSS-flexible PunBB & template editing
But phpbb2 also has template editing.
I assumed you were using phpbb2 by looking at your profile showing phpbb2.
My test forum is about the closest you can get to my knowledge with template editing.
No I can't help you with the search bar, I don't know that much CSS

Re: Moving the navbar up & fixing search box
you know what i would do.
i would just take out the logo in the pic's management. then upload to a image host.. place it in center tags and put it at the very top of the over header template above all other content.
this will give it the appearance that it has been moved when it fact it hasn't.. you are just place in the logo in the template.
then as far as the search bar.
you can put that anywhere you want you just have to move it.
code for you logo real easy.
take the image link form youR logo in pic's management and place it in the code below.
oh be sure to remove the logo form your pics management too.. or it will be showing twice... lol
