Not hard to do. You will need to surroud your Message boards with a table
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD>Your menus go here</TD>
<TD> your message board goes here</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>.
Use your control panel to insert the
<TABLE><TD>Your menus go here</TD>
as soon as the BODY tag opens and before the message board code begins.
Then insert the
</TD></TABLE>
so that it appears before the closing body tag.
It often takes a bit of experimenting and it always helps to find somewhere else that has done it the way you want -- and do a view source to check out the actual code.
