As you may be able to tell the forum is huwrs modded forum and I obviously dont want to lose the functionality.
I already have an include file which contains the site navigation but it does not contain the forum navigation I basically want everything above the part which says "you've arrived..." to be seperate from the rest, possible an include but I want the blank area next to the logo to contain banner advertisments to it would have to have code in specific to that page.
Basically I want includes, something like this

Anything with an asterisk [*] cannot be an include as it will containt different information depending which zone the user is in.

well... as far as i can tell, you want a kind of portal layout for you site, right? well, Huwr (owner of MagicMushroom) has a portal created for Snitz Forums. i figured that if you download that, you could save yourself quite a lot of editing

hehe ok just so you know I'm REALLY bad at doing this kind of thing, I'm a good designer and I know HTML but as soon as it comes to ASP I get totally lost.. I couldnt even implement your hover mod.
I'm also concerned about having too much downtime on the board because it is acctually quite popular.
I think i'm gonna need some MAJOR help here.

i've just had a look at that portal mod and thats not actually what I'm looking for...
Basically I want the forum split up into include files (one for the navbar, one for the login(possibley PM notification here as well) and one for the forum itself.) So I can just add them to my existing website layout. I dont want anything else on there really so the portal mod wouldnt be any good.

I'm not 100% sure but I think that's sort of what I did on my site. I removed all navigation from inc_top.asp so all that remained is the logo and forum title. I then created an include file for forum navigation. Actually I made 2. One for basic forum navigation and one, now hidden unless you are logged in, for member options like PMs.
Is this what you mean? I obviously made it look much different than yours but does it function the same way you are looking for?

snitz code is really easy-to-change.
you may basically have to inc_footer_html.asp and inc_top_html.asp file, which includes the basic skeleton of your site, tables etc.
then you can change the layout with include files. I think as crash sad, HuwR's is a good example of what you can do with it.
by taking it as an example, you may create as many styles as you want.

Spot on, thats the idea anyhow.
Ok as for the code being easy to edit.. it may as well be written in binary as far as I'm concerned... I've looked at it quite a lot and I cant get my head around it.
If someone could look at my site and tell me where I need to split the code up that would be great.
