I am trying to do my first forum at http://momsbreak.com/forum/

I took the logo they had and replace it with my logo by uploading my image with the same file name as there logo and I want to change the logo link so it goes to my main web page and possible even do a little other editing of the top of the page but I can't for the life of me figure out where to find the file at to edit. Can someone please tell me what file name to go to to edit place.

Thanks
Kimberly

/public_html/forum/templates/subSilver/overall_header.tpl

(Open it with a text editor)

Look for this line (line 231):

<td><a href="{U_INDEX}"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/logo_phpBB.gif" border="0" alt="{L_INDEX}" vspace="1" /></a></td>and replace it with this one:

<td><a href="http://momsbreak.com/"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/logo_phpBB.gif" border="0" alt="{L_INDEX}" vspace="1" /></a></td>Enjoy. :)

BLESS YOU! I have been going crazy trying to figure this out.

LOL No problem. :) All of the default template (SubSilver) files are in that folder, so if you want to change anything else, it will be in there as well.

Go to forum

/ public_html / forum / templates / subSilver / overall_header.tpl

Clicked overall_header.tpl then edit and replace their logo url with my own but the same size of the one they had and added everything else at the bottom of the overall_header.tpl page. Which since that only the header text will appear at the top.

But becareful! It is very easy to message up your settings, that why I put all my stuff at the bottom.

Hope that helps
Kimberly
