You could really just do this with a template modification.

I think a plugin is suitable for this type of thing, as it can be done so that you could split up a new section into columns if needed, or add a completely new section with icon that spans the whole width. A lot of customising could be done with this.
Sorry to send you round in circles

warning v4 code info below
This code will add extra sections to your info center with whatever material you decide to put in them. Enjoy. Main Footer:
Code:<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
/*
Extra Info Center Sections.
Coded By Moose.
Don't repost or edit.
*/
var newsections = new Array();
newsections[0] = ["Section Name","Section Info Center Icon","Section Information"];
newsections[1] = ["Section Name","Section Info Center Icon","Section Information"];
newsections[2] = ["Section Name","Section Info Center Icon","Section Information"];
newsections[3] = ["Section Name","Section Info Center Icon","Section Information"];
var table = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
for(i=0;i<table.length;i++){
var cellone = table[i].rows[0].cells[0];
if(cellone.className == "titlebg" && cellone.align == "center" && cellone.colSpan == "2" && cellone.innerHTML.match(/<b>Info Center<\/b>/i)){
for(n=0;n<newsections.length;n++){
var firstrow = table[i].insertRow(-1);
var firstcell = firstrow.insertCell(0);
firstcell.className = "catbg";
firstcell.colSpan = "2";
firstcell.innerHTML = '<font size="2" class="cattext"><b>'+newsections[n][0]+'</b></font>';
var secondrow = table[i].insertRow(-1);
var secondcell = secondrow.insertCell(0);
var thirdcell = secondrow.insertCell(1);
secondcell.className = "windowbg";
secondcell.vAlign = "middle";
secondcell.align = "center";
secondcell.width = "20";
secondcell.innerHTML = '<img border="0" src="'+newsections[n][1]+'" />';
thirdcell.className = "windowbg";
thirdcell.innerHTML = '<table width="98%" cellpadding="3" align="center"><tr><td valign="top" align="left"><font size="1">'+newsections[n][2]+'</font></td></tr></table>';
}}}
//-->
</script>
All the editing, adding, and removing of sections takes place here:

Code:newsections[0] = ["Section Name","Section Info Center Icon","Section Information"];
newsections[1] = ["Section Name","Section Info Center Icon","Section Information"];
newsections[2] = ["Section Name","Section Info Center Icon","Section Information"];
newsections[3] = ["Section Name","Section Info Center Icon","Section Information"];

It'd be general info stuff or Like, maybe you want your affiliate in the info center.
(ps i have one forum that has 6 new sections attached below info center! plan is to cut that back but need a few still, where else would i want a quick glance general info? but maybe in an info center) i like the idea of being able to split up sections also, the ones i have do span the width. the idea is to have this part of info center not look unconnected.

you can just add rows and colmns in the template. i only have one row with one td but you can do it easily there, jst add some rows and tds, move stuff around

                    <tr>
                       <td style="height: 20px;" colspan="2"><span id="infocenter-links">
                           <a href="http://thenotablenook.com/members?dir=desc&sort=posts">Top Posters</a>
                           <a href="http://thenotablenook.com/members?dir=asc&sort=name&view=staff">View Staff</a>
                           <a href="#" onclick="scroll(0, 0); return false;">Back To Top</a></span>
                       </td>
                    </tr>

ty tunescool i will take a look trying that.

while not everyone one is great at adding /adjusting templates, or header/footers.. the point of having plug-ins i think was to make things easy and not have to mess with templates, or header/footers.
i agree with peter "a plugin is suitable for this type of thing, as it can be done so that you could split up a new section into columns if needed, or add a completely new section with icon that spans the whole width. A lot of customising could be done with this."

so i am still hoping for a plug-in being created
