My phpBB is working perfectly, but I would like to be able to put a link on the main forums page back to my web site. I tried viewing the source for the page and it looks as though the whole page is built by php.

Is there a page or directory I can go to and add either an HTML code or BBcode hyperlink back to my site?

TIA,

You'll need to edit the template files which are in your forum folder /templates/subSilver/ .

overall_header.tpl, as you can guess, is the overall header file that generates the top part of the page.

You should be able to figure out the rest - if not, come back and I'll see what I can do. :)

Thank you! I coded some HTML and the link works. Will refine tonight. I appreciate your very fast and helpful response!

I'll be starting a project soon to get my Archives site re-coded with php4 to build the pages from a database. The Archives hold over 4,400 images of identified radios, and the project has grown to the point where using a database was criticial months ago.... so I may be back here later looking for more help. I do have some good MySQL and php4 books recommended by someone in this forum months ago (may have been you, can't remember), so it will be fun. Just have to get my tables built for thousands of rows and some two dozen columns... doing finger exercises daily!

Yeah, I remember you. :D (Think it was TomD though with the books).

Anyway, I'll be here if you need any help. :)
