I looked at your source code in your template and I looked at how I coded the plugin and there should be nothing preventing you from using your customized welcome area. Did you make sure that you had the welcome message enabled in the plugin's settings?

Brian
When I enable the welcome message in the plugin, it only displays "Login" after "Admin" and overwrites my custom welcome message. 

How it should look: "Welcome, Weedfanatic! Log Off? Inbox:5 New:1"
How it looks with the welcome message enabled: "Login"

When I disable it, the welcome message is gone completly, and only the main navigation bar links are present. 

Thanks for taking the time to look into this for me!

Edit: I looked at the source a bit, and this is where the problem is I think? (Bold Code Below)

var forumId = $('#welcome').children('a')[0];
if(proboards.data("user").is_logged_in) {
forumId = forumId.href.split('logout/')[1];
} else {
forumId = forumId.href.split('login/')[1];
}
var menuList = $('#navigation-menu > ul');
if(proboards.data('user').is_logged_in) {
menuList.append('

<LI>Logout</LI>

');
} else {
menuList.append('

<LI>Login</LI>
<LI>Register</LI>

');
}

I wouldn't even know how to add my template code to here, otherwise I would try. I've never really messed with plugins source code, so this is very new to me.

Update- Since I can't get my custom welcome message to show with this plugin enabled, and there are no replies yet (not that I'm being impatient), I've decided to attempt to recreate it, within the source code of this plugin.
It's a lot different than simply modifying templates, but it seems like it should be doable for me, so I'll try my best to do this myself!

I've messed around, modified the source a bit, and figured out how to add navigation bar links, which was pretty easy, but I still need to figure out how to get the username, inbox amount, and new message amount, into the plugin source.
To be more specific, below is how you would do it in a template.
$[current_user.name]
$[current_user.messages.inbox]
$[current_user.messages.new]

I need to know the proper way to do this with this plugin (any plugin for future refference). I'm going to attempt to do this myself first, but if anyone could help me, and responds befor, and if I solve this, that would be great!

Ok, I spent a long time trying to fix this myself, and have had no success. I'm stumped on this one. 

I figured out the reason my Forum Wrapper Template is being overwritten by the plugin. Enabling The V4 Login Buttons, overwrites my custom Forum Wrapper (Welcome Message), but allows me to have custom navigation images. When I disable the v4 Login Buttons, I cannot have custom navigation buttons, but I can have my custom Forum Wrapper (Welcome Message). I still cannot find out how to have both my Forum Wrapper Template (Welcome Message), and custom navigation images. Any further help would be really appreciated, I've been having so much trouble trying to modify the code myself to achieve this!

weedfanatic, editing that part of the code won't change whether or not the welcome message shows.

You need to give the welcome message a font size in Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS by going to Header (Top) > Navigation Bar > Welcome Text and changing the font size to something like 13px. Right now it's set to 1em which is causing it to inherit the font size of its parent element (currently 0).

Most if not all of the fields have a ? icon next to them explaining what they do.

There's an installation guide here as well: venompbx.proboards.com/thread/15/classic-proboards-menu

The plugin appears to be working just fine. You just haven't added any images to it yet. You'll need to go to Plugins > Manage > Classic ProBoards Menu and visit the Theme Images tab to add them.
