Navigation Buttons
When you made the buttons on this board like "Runboard", "C Panel", "New Topic" and so on, were they made from individual images or from one image with text added in the Customize Language Set area? If the former, must they always be made of individual images? If the later, how did you write the HTML for one of them?
Also, I can't see the Runboard (left of "C Panel" image above) content box on the Language Set page. How did you give that an image?
By the way, I saw a topic where you pointed someone to a site of Smackdown5's in which he offered a set of these buttons in a zip file. That site seems to be down right now. It's in this of your posts:
http://com5.runboard.com/brunboardextra.f4.t323
It'd be interesting to see what those look like before I set about making my own.

Edit: I'm sorry, I thought I was posting this in the Q&A forum where it belongs. You're welcome to move it there if you like.

They are all made individually in a graphics program, no html code, just image tags in the Custom Language Set.
The whole 'Miscoptbar' can be styled in CSS too, that way you can make them look like buttons, even though they are not, just adding text by using the <span> tag

The Runboard image is the very last option in your CLS. Control Panel is #12 from the top, 'Control_Panel'

Smackdown has moved his files to a new server, so I dont think they are available anymore. I have removed that link

Re: Navigation Buttons
Thank you again, Mooseman,
I kinda deduced that so about midnight, I started making buttons and got some of the important ones done and up on my main board. Now that you showed me where the last piece to the puzzle went (the runboard button), I can see it easily.
I searched for miscoptbar; I don't have any code for it in my CSS. I will need it to do what I want to do with my buttons; I want to remove the |s in between them (or change their color to the background color) and to center them if possible but still allow 10 or 15 px space between each. Can I get there?
I also searched the help files for any stray miscoptbar code I could learn from but couldn't find any. I did see a reference Lesigner Girl made to the |s using "display:none;" in the span.miscoptbar snippet but, of course, that makes all 5 links disappear, too. It can be done; the designer of this board did it and I like it.
Dave
Edit: This snippet made the |s disappear by changing them to the background color but the links are not centered.
span.miscoptbar {color:#660000;text-align:center}
span.miscoptbar {color:#660000;align:center} doesn't work, either.

The dreaded '|' is placed in the CLS, I think it is called miscoptbar seperator. Just remove/change whatever is in that textfield

Display none does that LOL
It is not very wise to set the miscoptbar to non.display. There is a hidden link there which only Runboard Admin sees, and if you choose to hide the miscoptbar, it will be very difficult to help you out if your board goes haywire.
To have it centered, you can do this :
Put <div align="center"> at the very beginning of the runboard link field in your CLS (the very last one)
Close it by putting </div> at the very end of the 'Upgrade_your_account' (# 18)in the CLS

If it was it wouldn't matter, because I don't remember any of it!
