trouble making 2 navigation bars
 

I'm trying to put modify my board to use two navigation bars* one at the top and one at the bottom of the screen. Once that's working* I'll modify the top one to include only the most commonly used options* and leave all the options at the bottom.

So I think I've figured out approximately how to do that* but it's not working. I'm hoping someone can tell me where I've gone wrong. Here's what I've done.

1. Tested to see that there could be two navigation bars by modifying the template FORUMHOME. I left $navbar near the top* where it was* and added $navbar near the bottom* between the end of what's going on box and the start of the icons and login code section. Tested it; got identical* functioning navigation bars at the top and the bottom.

2. Created two new custom templates called navbar1 and navbar2. At the moment* both are exact copies of the navbar template. I figure I'll get them to display first* and modify them later. (I created them by editing the navbar template* changing the title from navbar to navbar1 or navbar2* and saving. THey show up in the template list under custom templates.

3. Modified the FORUMHOME template again. Changed $navbar at the top to $navbar1. Changed $navbar at the bottom to $navbar2. Saved.

4. Went to my forum home page. The page displays* but with no navigation bar at either the top or the bottom.

Can somebody please tell me what I did wrong* or suggest point me to a more appropriate place to get help?

Thanks loads!
