Hello
Thanks, I will try to configure the title page by setting it standard text
This depends in part upon what document class you are using. But 
something like

   \date{}
should just set the date to an empty string.

yes i figured out by using the macro "date" and putting a space on it..

Where are you trying to put them?

I am trying to put them in the title, I need some spaces in between the 
title words,

the setup i need to use is pretty funny:

headers and title in the middle
a picture
then on the left my name, and on the right the teachers names..
then a line and the year...

I think is best i make it as standard text!
Thanks

First of all you need to decide what document class you use. I can recommend a koma-skript class 
because it is highly customizable. Also the memoir class is a good choice.


However i incurred in 3 problem that i need to solve if i want to make 
EVERYthing in lyx:


  1. I should use a particular position for the inscription of the
 first page, the title should be in the middle, and the authors
 should be on the left and right...


I wonder why you have multiple authors for your thesis. Attached is a LyX-file with an example title 
page with two authors using the koma-skript book class.



  2. I don't want the date to be added automatically at the end of
 every chapter i make, how can i remove it?


This depends on the document class you use. (this is not the case with 
koma-script)


  3. seems to me that defskip, smallskip, bigskip don't work usually
 unless i "protect" them...is this fine?


This should work, maybe again your document class redefines them. You could post a SMALL LyX example 
file.

 wants to put in the middle as well...I tried to use standard, but
 then they switch to the next page..this is unacceptable. So i need
 to know how can i force them to be all in the same page, or how to
 relax the restrictions on the position of text for the Author field.
