Move Forum Information & Statistics above boards.

[Incompetent Egoist]

So, if this is not the right way, please tell me. But to my understanding, it's pretty safe. Now, your forum information & statistics is at the bottom of your forum.

Go to Admin>Themes>Layout Templates>Home

Highlight number 25 to 122. 25 to 122 should look like this->


{if $[legend]}
<div class="container legend">
<div class="title-bar"><h2>Legend</h2></div>

Once you highlight that area, past it below $[news]. Once you are done, click Preview Changes and see if you like it. 

This is what it will look like->



If you want costume changes, here are the codes:


You do not actually remove this section. What you actually do is ad <!-- and -->. This cuts the code out by not removing it. 


 Remove "Threads and Posts"
Between lines 26 to 36, you will add <!-- and -->. 26 through 36 should look like this before you add the end-marks. 

<td class="icon">$[image.stats]</td>
<td class="info">

Remove "Forum Information & Statistics"
If you have applied the first code then you will look in lines 2 to 113 and add <!-- and --> at the ends. 
If you have not applied this, then you will look in line 25 to 122 and add <!-- and --> at the ends. 

Either one, it should look like this as an end result->
