Default Changing the phpBB Logo Image

Changing the phpBB Logo Image

IF you want to change the phpBB logo, there are two ways to do it.
Easy way:
If your logo images is a gif file, rename it to logo_phpBB.gif and
upload it to the templates/subSilver/images directory, overwriting
the one that is there.
If you are using a different style/template, then rename it/ upload it
to the appropriate directory.

A little harder way:
Go to the templates/subSilver (or whatever style you have) directory.
open the overall_header.tpl file, using a text editor like wordpad or
even notepad.(not Word)
Scroll down almost to the bottom of the file and look for:

<img src="templates/subSilver/images/logo_phpBB.gif"

replace the path to the logo with whatever yours is.

All of this works for the subSilver template, your template may vary
a little, but the idea is the same. If you are having trouble finding
the name or path to the style logo, try this;
Go to your forum, right click on the logo that is there, go to properties,
that will show you the path and logo name to look for.

Making the logo image a link of your choice.

f you have replaced the phpBB logo with your own, and now want it to
link to your home page (or wherever), here is how:
Go to the templates/subSilver (or whatever style you have) directory.
open the overall_header.tpl file, using a text editor like wordpad or
even notepad.(not Word)
Scroll down almost to the bottom of the file and look for:
<a href="{U_INDEX}">

change like this:
<a href="http://yourdomain.com">

You are done.
