Yeah definitely not a fan of anything past 6.5.5 but thats just me.

There is just too much going on like the forum we are in now.

I'll wait to see if v8 looks any better.

To much going on is mostly options that can be disabled.
You can request a demo install.

And give it a trial run

I think he's trying to achieve this.

Actually I don't care for that look at all. I like 6.5.5

I know theres a header and a footer area; I just don't have access to a running v6 to tell you where

Just downloaded the 6.5.5 install; looks like you need to edit includes/header.php and includes/footer.php I'm not sure if there is an editor built into the control panel for that old of a version however.

Thanks I figured it out.
