WoW

Thank you both for the info. I am taking a look at the plug in system now, but I think I will have to read up a bit so I understand how the hooks work.

One reason I was initially looking at child styles was that I was adding a new menu option to the vB menu bar, a pull down box with all the eFiction links. However I think what you both said makes sense, and copying this from one to another is not that big of a problem once I get is set.

One thing I am looking to do is have multiple styles for my visitors, something I had not been able to setup easley due to the way SMF handles templates. vB is letting me pull the layout and store it in variables, so I can work with it in eFic.

Again, thank you both for the information. Now I just need to get out of work so I can put it to good use
