Move navigation bar to right or left of the forum banner?

Would there be a way to move the entire nav bar to the left or right of the forum banner as a vertical list?

Yes, that's possible. But the results can be less than desirable.

The Navigation Bar is inherently a list that has been 'flattened' by use of float. This fits the situation well because the number of items in the list can vary. As long as the number of items isn't excessive, the entire list can fit on a single line across the width of the page.

The Banner is contained within a table. We can place the Navigation Bar within a cell in the same table, then unflatten (remove the float on the list items) the list and have it appear as a vertical list.

One of the less desirable characteristics of this is that the height of the table which contains the banner will vary, depending upon the number of items in the list. When a guest views the forum, there will be fewer list items in the Navigation Table than when a member views it.

I've attached a theme to this thread. It has the modified Forum Wrapper layout template as well as an addition to the Style Sheet which begins on line 1600. In all other respects, it's ProBoards stock.
