I want to add my logo and navigation buttons to the top of the SMF boards.   Is there an easy way to do this?   
My page is:  www.divecritic.com  and the navigation that I want to add is the upper part of the website with the navigation buttons and logo, then I want the SMF board to be right below it.  my board is at:  boards.divecritic.com   Also, I see the column on the right side of this page called "Recent".   How do I add that to my page?

I am new to this kind of stuff and am looking for help.

Thanks!!!
Kelly

P.S.   I am on the fence right now about buying the Community Suite and need to know if it will work with my installation.

For the logo and navigation for you forum it would just require you to edit the themes/default/index.template.php from your forums directory and inside that file you would just find where <body> begins and add your code after. If you need help with that I can take a look.

The column on this site is from a portal mod. You can use either ezPortal http://www.ezportal.com - which I have integrated with all my modifications for SMF. Another option would be Tiny Portal like this site http://www.tinyportal.net

Community Suite would work on your forum. You are using the default theme so it should would not require any modifications to your forum to get it working.

I put my code in that spot (directly after the <body> tag) and it gave me error.  Probably because I copied the code from one directory and the files that it is dependent on are not in the directory that I pasted it into?

Probably because the code was not escaped or echoed in the php code.

If you attach your index.template.php I can take a look.

Here is the file, and the navigation code.

Are you good with database and fixing a broken website?  How much would you charge?    Cheesy

I am getting frustrated with my webmaster from India that I hired to make my sites.  He has finished 98% divecritic.com
expedive.com is about 50% right now and it seems that he has taken my money and run with unfulfilled promises.   

If interested, give me a quote,  it would probably take about 1-2 hours of work with online chat with explanations of what is supposed to be happening.
email me at kelly  at  my display name dot com

Thanks for all your replys

Here is the file without errors not sure how it will work but it won't throw an error
http://www.smfhacks.com/index.template.zip

Webdesign is not really something that I am good at I generally stick to SMF and use premade solutions.

Looks like a CSS stylesheet issue
Would you could do is a font tag around link
Old code
Code:
<a href="http://www.divecritic.com/Expedive/bookadive1.php" TARGET="_top" class="fltabout" ><font color="#FFFFFF">Dive Forum</font></a>
New code
Code:
<a href="http://www.divecritic.com/Expedive/bookadive1.php" TARGET="_top>Dive Forum</a>
