You know how it currently says something like above in topic.asp, forum.asp, default.asp, my.asp, cal.asp, photo_album.asp, file_lister.asp, filelibrary.asp, and on admin_home.asp; how is it possible to make it look like this instead:
 All Forums » Category Name » Forum Name
 Topic
Is it really possible to make it look like this? I like this on my other forum using IPB..
I will post up all the files mentioned above in a moment... |

Faizan, of course it is, just look here for the examples. Okay, I don't have the icons along with it, but the general idea is the same.
I use this code (from topic.asp)
(I use > (>) instead of », but that's a detail)
Response.Write " <table border=""0"" width=""100%"">" & vbNewLine & _
" <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td width=""50%"" align=""left"" nowrap><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """>" & vbNewLine & _
" <a href=""default.asp"">the forums</a> > " & vbNewLine
Response.Write "<a href=""forums.asp?CAT_ID=" & Cat_ID & """>" & ChkString(Cat_Name,"display") & "</a> > " & vbNewLine
Response.Write "<a href=""forum.asp?" & ArchiveLink & "FORUM_ID=" & Forum_ID & """>" & ChkString(Forum_Subject,"display") & "</a> <br> > " & vbNewLine
if IsEvent=1 then
Response.Write " " & getCurrentIcon(strIconEvent,"","") & " <b>" & strCalEvent
else
if ArchiveView = "true" then
Response.Write " " & getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderArchived,"","align=""absmiddle""") & " <b>"
elseif Cat_Status <> 0 and Forum_Status <> 0 and Topic_Status <> 0 then
Response.Write " " & getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderOpenTopic,"","align=""absmiddle""") & " <b>"
else
Response.Write " " & getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderClosedTopic,"","align=""absmiddle""") & " <b>"
end if
end if
if Request.QueryString("SearchTerms") <> "" then
Response.Write SearchHiLite(ChkString(Topic_Subject,"title"))
else
Response.Write ChkString(Topic_Subject,"title")
end if
if strUseOnlineOffline = "1" then
Call ProcessInside(Topic_ID ,"T")
end if
Response.Write "</b></font></td>" & vbNewLine
Response.Write "</tr>" & vbNewLine & _

| Find the table near the top of each page that has the all forums link and the icon_bar.gif in it and replace that with marcel's example. If it gives you grief one of us can help you I am sure. |

OK Here we go...
I tried to put your code replacing mine but it did not work, I am not a programmer or anyone who
knows anything about ASP, all I know is a bit of HTML and that's it! 
What I am trying to say there is that I think I need step by step instructions; like
"Find this, replace with this"
Is there anyone who'd be willing to helo me like this?
Here are all the files..
TIA..

Here is an example that should get you started. Basically, you are cutting out the table row & br tags that make it several rows high and cutting out the icons. Just keep it all in one row.
In cal.asp
find this:
Response.Write " <TABLE width=""100%"" border=""0"">" & vbNewLine & _
" <TR>" & vbNewLine & _
" <TD><FONT face=" & strDefaultFontFace & " size=" & strDefaultFontSize & ">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconFolderOpen,"","") & " <A href=""default.asp"">All Forums</A><BR />" & vbNewLine & _
" " & getCurrentIcon(strIconBar,"","") & getCurrentIcon(strIconEvent,"","") & " " & strCalEventsCalendar & "</FONT></TD>" & vbNewLine & _
" </TR>" & vbNewLine & _
" </TABLE>" & vbNewLine
replace with this:
Response.Write " <TABLE width=""100%"" border=""0"">" & vbNewLine & _
" <TR>" & vbNewLine & _
" <TD><FONT face=" & strDefaultFontFace & " size=" & strDefaultFontSize & "> <A href=""default.asp"">All Forums</A> > " & strCalEventsCalendar & "</FONT></TD>" & vbNewLine & _
" </TR>" & vbNewLine & _
" </TABLE>" & vbNewLine

Thanks Rebel, this one works in cal.asp, and file_lister.asp. I tried to do similar stuff in Admin_home.asp, but did not work.. Still trying it in other files..

I did this on my 3.1SR4 version and there is a caveat. Keep in mind that your titles for forums and categories can be long so it will not look right at times. For example, imagine this scenario (using this thread's info as an example):
All Forums » MOD Add-On Forum (W/Code) » All Forums > Category Name > Forum Name??
It could even get longer depending on how the categories and forums are titled. |

That's why you should display it like this:
All forums > Category Name > Forum Name
<center>Topic Name</center>
That's what I did on my soon to be released forum. |

I did this a while back. I changed it back to original because I thought it looked to long also. Just look at the nav for this post, it would span most the page. I think the break for the topic does the trick though. Marcels' looks so good, I might have another go at it .
I made a nav. bar that goes in the footer. I've never tried it in the header. It just covers a basic forum and would take more work to cover all your files.

Dayve, what you are saying is true but it would suit me as I have shorter category and forum names, plus I am putting the topic name on the next line:
