I have attached a file showing a few changes I would like to make to my IPB Skin. I would like to get rid of the area where the Logo is and the blue bar underneath it.

I would also like to move the search box down the the end of the white area to the right of the "Breadcrumb Trail."

I am just starting to read your guides and instructions now. Could you tell me which might be the best for me to read right away? Or do you know a fast and simple way to accomplish this?

Thanks for any help.

Moving search to where you want it is not a good idea as the main page doesn't show breadcrums so there is no space there.

As for other locations see:

Can you attach boardIndexTemplate file?

[amerifax]

Sure. I have attached my boardIndexTemplate File. I wasn't sure exactly how to do it, so I copied it all and pasted into an rtf file. If that is not OK, please let me know!

Actually after looking around a little more, I found what you told me to look for in the Global Templates - globalTemplate.

If that is not the right place, just let me know otherwise I think I might have figured part of it out then with your help.

Sorry to keep posting before you respond back but I am trying to play around with this to start understanding how things work. I read your message for "how to move search bar to primary navigation bar."

I took what you show in that message and tried my own thing with it. What I did was moved the line you talk about in that message below the following line:

<if test="navigationlink:|:$data[1]"><a href='{parse url="{$data[1]}" base="$data[4]" seotitle="$data[2]" template="$data[3]"}' title='{$this->lang->words['nav_return_to']} {$data[0]}' itemprop="url"></if><span itemprop="title">{$data[0]}</span><if test="closenavigationlink:|:$data[1]"></a></if>
</li>
<!-- ::: MOVED LINE FOR SEARCH BELOW ::: -->
												{parse template="quickSearch" group="global" params=""}

This moved the search box after the Breadcrumb like I originally asked, but for some reason, I have two search boxes...how did I do that and how do I fix it? If I keep this change can it cause other problems for me?

Actually after a little more checking, while I am in a subforum, I have 2 search boxes, one is after the breadcrumb like I wanted, and one is indented below the breadcrumb. But if I back out of the subforum one position (I think to the category) I only see one search box that is indented below the breadcrumb.

Like I said I am still learning, this is very new to me, so by all means, let me know if I am doing something wrong.

Sorry about it. Yes it's globalTemplate.

As for your latest question....what's your board address?
