Well, you could put the left side in the header and the right side in the footer. It would be a lot easier than manually editing every main page template (forumhome, showthread, etc). Just make sure that you set it up so that the main content is loaded into it's own table or div.

About the GNEREIC_SHELL Template. I'm modifying a forum and wanted to sort of start clean. The GENERIC_SHELL seems to be just what I want, but I'm not sure how to get it to display...

I have altered header and footer, etc. but just wanted to know how to effectively use this template.

Thanks

Generic_Shell does nothing... its just a generic shell
