how do I add a link to the bar ? and how do I create the page ?

It looks like you are using a custom style. Can you post here the contents of the footer template and tell us where do you want the link to appear?

ABout adding a custom page, have a look at this article:

Ah, ok then. To add a custom link to the footer, after the archive link as in the image above, at the footer template find this code:

HTML Code:

<vb:if condition="$vboptions['archiveenabled']"><li><a href="archive/index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase archive}</a></li></vb:if>

And after it add:

HTML Code:

<li><a href="full_url_to_customlink">Custom Link</a></li>

And replace

Code:

full_url_to_customlink

with the actual full url to where you want the link to point to. And replace also

Code:

Custom Link

with whatever word you want to describe the link to your custom page.

The description is hardcoded. If you want you can create a phrase as well and then use the that in the description.

i.e.:

HTML Code:

<li><a href="full_url_to_customlink">{vb:rawphrase phrasename}</a></li>

And replace

Code:

phrasename

with the actual name of your custom phrase.

Hope it helps.

provided instructions are clear and concise;

but guess I would need to create a page to bring users back to the first page after reading (the newly created page)

You are welcome, glad to have been of help.

Your users can get back to the forum page by clicking the Forum tab in the navbar. Unless I misunderstood what you meant.

I had some free time now and I made a mod out of this so you won''t have to edit the templates manually. I hope it will come in handy to you.

Was able to do this exactly, and it worked out great thank you. But I'm stuck on one simple part that I can't figure out with part of it. On my old Forum (pic A) I was able to have it where my information that I was putting on that page was formated perfect and was centered on the page with breaks as well. Now on my new Forum (pic B) I can't get it to do the same thing and not sure where I'm failing. On the new Forum it's all just in one big paragraph.

I noticed that on my old forum that it was within the .php file. Not sure if I would still do the same thing or what? And if so were to put it and how.Any help on this would be great.

You need to add paragraph or line break tags to get it to parse correctly
