Simple forum help

[movingconcierge]

I'm an admitted newbie on forums (vbulletin[edit]<<-scratch that...its phpbb).

I feel stupid even asking this, but how do you edit the header of the index page of a vbulletin forum? I want to customize it with g adsense, logo, etc. and I simply am too new at the forums thing to find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

In your vBulletin admin cp, look for "Styles & Templates". Then, click on "Style Manager". Click the "<< >>" and look for the header. That's it.

You can customize CSS easily by selecting from the drop down menu. Hollar if you need help (not to loudly please).

Thanks, Surfer. I'll check that out tomorrow am...

I got the forum wrong software, it is phpbb...any idea on that one? Sorry...

hello, i cant remember the exact directory, but you need to go into your theme/template directory such as SubSilver, then find the file overall_header.tpl, that is where you can make changes to your phpbb header.

Thanks again. Got the logo image OK.

Next, I'll give $100NP to the first one to give me clear instructions on how to frame the phpbb on a page. i.e. I want to have a left border to drop banners on and I don't want to have to read for the next two weeks to do it.

I'll give another $100NP to the first one to give me clear instructions on how to auto drop adsense ads within the forum topics like they do here...

Again, I am a newbie on forums...totally, but have some common sense site building skills and a decent editor.

Thanks.

why you want to frame it? you can always use redirect.

for the price you pm me i'll even do it for you?


my guess: is this what you need:
mydomain.com/phpbb/
you want mydoamin.com to point to mydomain.com/phpbb/ or show it without another click?

My friend used IFrames for a forum once and it honestly took away from the overall use and mobility.

Here is a small little forum where they discuss how to change the PHPBB logo in the forum. Grantite that your logo will have to be the same size, unless you change the CSS coding.
