From V4 to V5

[nanoshells]

Hello all

I have a forum, that has been up an running for about 2 years, and since we are about to change to v5, i had a betasite made, to see what i could expect and...
I cannot figure it out. I have been trying to figure out how to make my forum look like it did in v4, but I can't even figure out how to start.. Where to put the sidebar, where to put the css.. It's very confusing, and that's why I hope some of you might lend a hand.. To tell me were to start, and how to do it. I really like proboards, and i think v5 have great features, but if I can't even figure out how to make the layout on the site, I don't know how well it will go in the future :S 

So if a kind soul could help me, I would be very gratefull

V4: uolh.proboards.com/index.cgi
V5: ragingbloodlines.freemessageboards.com/

Sidebar Redux Plugin

You download the plugin from the first post in that thread, and then go to your forum's admin panel, go to plugin, manage, and then at the bottom click 'Import Plugin' and then select the plugin file you download, then input the settings from there.


And to put in some css, go to the themes area in your admin panel, then go to colors & styles, and click the CSS tab, and then scroll to the bottom and put it in your CSS. Note: Some of your old CSS may not work due to changes in the class name.

EDIT: I just looked at your source. And most of the codes you have either are built in options, can easily be done with a template modification, or a plugin(which most exist, I believe).
