Optional

Heres a slide piece for the far right of the bar if needed..
the quote icon is built onto the bar if you want to shrink or expand your
tables...
you would have to change the black slide peice to your color

[RobAC]

For some reason, the cut and paste doesn't work either. I keep getting a "404 page".

Very cool! Nice job.

note

your icons could be a different size so do the adjusting on these codes relative to the icon that needs adjusting
"<SPAN STYLE="position: relative; top:2; left:+15"
very simple..

I tried doing this to my forum...

But I just a jumbled mess...

Enclosed is a screenshot

[upperking]

hehehe

thats the quote slider bar, put the quote.gif at the far right then it wont do that..
or replace it with your quote icon.

take a look at the second image you downloaded "quote.gif" its a slider bar and must be used for the far right icon..
better yet just dont use the slider quote.gif

by the way i just noticed the homepage icon is in the code twice woops

i edited the code above.

heres my demo link

Also make the table cell for your quote icon have a width of 100%.

The cell html would look like:
<td width=100% align="right">
