We just launched our forums using Vanilla, and they are great, but I would like the forums to match the rest of our site and use the Flash navigation the rest of the site uses. How can I add it and also control the width of the forum.
Here are examples of the site and forum

I caught your post about this on the blog, and I figured I'd show you that even with vanilla 0.9.2.x it can be very easy to accomplish this.
Here is a quick extension I wrote that inserts an html file at the top of the page:
<?php /* Extension Name: Banner Insertion Extension Url: N/A Description: Inserts a banner at the top of the page Version: 1.0 Author: Mark O'Sullivan Author Url: http://markosullivan.ca/ Copyright 2003 - 2005 Mark O'Sullivan This file is part of Vanilla.

Then you'd need to create a folder called "BannerInsertion" and within that folder create a "your_banner.html" file with your custom banner in there.
You will also probably need to customize the CSS a bit to suit your needs, so I threw in another line there for a custom css file in your "BannerInsertion" folder called "style.css".
Good Luck!
But you seriously shouldn't be applying a test extension on a live server. You should test it on a local machine first. Don't you have a local copy of your site on your home machine?
Anyway, re-copy that code and it should work - but you'll still have some css issues to deal with - which is why I still say you should test it out somewhere else first.
It should work now. Sorry again.
, "signin.php", "leave.php"to the
if (in_array($Context->SelfUrl, array("index.php","comments.php", "account.php", "settings.php", "search.php", "post.php"))) {So that whole line would become
if (in_array($Context->SelfUrl, array("index.php","comments.php", "account.php", "settings.php", "search.php", "post.php", "signin.php", "leave.php"))) {^^the above is prolly wrong.
