I recently reformmated my computer and starting from scratch. A while ago I would update my civ with the new patches and mods using Tortoise SVN that was recommended to me in this forum. However I can't find where that is anymore and I don't know the address that I need to type to get to the files. Nor do I know enough about this to know if this questions is really dumb. Does anyone know?

ben, which mod(s) were you using? If it's one of the mods which has its own subforum here at CFC, check the dedicated forum for it and look in the sticky threads. Most which offer SVN access have the details listed in a download/installation topic.
The big one I am looking for is the advanced city bar. It says what the city is producing and how long it has left. As well it has a great person bar on the top below the tech. Problem is, I don't know what it is called.

Yep, it sounds like BUG. Take a look at http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=274636
I believe there is an option you can click for the advance city bar that is included in the game and doesn't need BUG or HOF or any other mod. Load the game and click ctrl-O.

While we're on the topic of BUG...
Is it compatible with the most recent patches to BtS 3.17? i.e. with Solver's patch, and the "patch to the patch" which fixes the "AI not bombing" bug?
How about Blue Marble? Compatible with patched 3.17 and with BUG?
(I know, I know, I could probably find the answers elsewhere...
)

BUG (version 3) is fully BTS 3.17 compatible. It works fine with the Unofficial Patches too; just make sure you don't install the Python files included with the Unofficial Patch because the BUG Python files already have the necessary fixes and have many more features too.
AFAIK, Blue Marble also works fine with both 3.17 and BUG but I don't have much experience with BM.

Yup, Blue Marble works perfectly with 3.17

It changes the graphics of the terrain. Lots of people like it a lot, as for myself, I don't. Question of taste 
click on search and then search for posts from a specific user - it is limited to 300 - but that should not be a problem for you yet 
So this is no doubt a stupid question (and may have been asked before but I don't want to go through 495 pages to check)
How do I add new scenarios? You guys have made some really cool ones and i have no idea how to load them into the game (or if I'm even using the right terminology).
Thanks.

You should check the specifications for each; but as for mods, you usually put all the stuff in a folder with the mod's name (often automatically created) inside your mod folder; something like c:/program files/Civilization IV/.../mods, where ... is nothing of you play just civ, or warlords or beyond the sword if you play it

I'm playing my first game with Permenant Alliances turned on. I have a couple questions about them.
1. If I have a permenant alliance with a civ, do I have to kill them for a conquest victory?
2. Can I have a Permenant Alliance with more than one Civ?
3. If so, what happens if those two civs declare war on each other?

No.
No, not within a game. The only way this is possible is to preset an alliance of more than 2 players before the game starts (ie, use teams, which are effectively the same thing).
This isn't possible. Even when you preset a team of, say, 6 players, the option of war is not possible between these 6 players. That's the whole point of a "permanent" alliance, after all.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Lord Parkin. I think I'll experiment with teams in my next game.

In BtS: If I build Stonehenge, do the notional Monuments that result count as "built" monuments for purposes of building the Statue of Zeus?
