Alright, after repeatedly banging my head against the wall, I gave up on using phpBB3 as my base and installed IP instead. Great program!

I still want to change the header. Lopalong was nice enough to give me advice in another thread on how to do it for phpBB3, and mostly it's correct. Here is the original thread: http://www.icyphoenix.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=4640

I did these actions:

Uploaded and changed both images.

Made adjustments to the css as advised.

I am unable to locate a file labeled as overall_header.html in IP, though.

This is the result: http://bearfootgold.com/forum/

You'll notice that at the right edge of the header there is a gap and the header itself overlays the top links a bit. I have found two overall_header files with an extension of .tpl, but don't want to mess with them until somebody that knows what they are doing (as opposed to my general method of breaking things until I fix them) has input.

Also, I'd like to change the title, keywords, link off the header image, etc. Right now it states "yourdomain.com". Again, which files need to be modified?

Sorry about all the questions, totally clueless in general but this is waaaaaaaaay beyond my skillset.

Wylie,

Please spend some time searching for answers before you post your questions.

"yourdomain.com". You will find by exploring the ACP.

And please use titles that reflect your problem.

Title Changed.

Moved to Templates and Styles.

I think I may have put this in the wrong forum, I'm using phpBB3 as the basic program.

Ermm,

Edited:

It's my fault too, because Wylie had "This time IP" in the header before I edited the Title.

Me personally, would like to see the phpBB3 stuff moved to phpBB.com permanently to avoid this sort of thing in future. We are after all Icy Phoenix - Not phpBB3.

Limun, it was totally my bad and not the advice you gave me that caused the website to get screwed up.

I downloaded the images as you instructed, but hadn't realized the main image (the one that sez "Bearfoot Gold") got shrunken in the process. By the time I figured it out I had made my mind up to use IP instead, so much better by far!

It's still not aligned properly even with IP, and I played with a few obvious (to me files) to correct it to no avail. Any advice now that I'm on IP? It's shifted to the left and under the top links a bit. I already did the changes to css as outlined in the other post.

ROFL! DUDE, NO WAY! I'm still sorting through what the ACP will do and will watch for it. Mind if I get a hint if I can't find it?

I did manage to learn how to use the CMS and fix the keywords. I'm getting it, slowly...

*Update* Found the site name in the ACP. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Lopalong! *Update*

No offence Wylie,

But I do suggest that you spend a LOT of time exploring Icy Phoenix before you do too much with modding and putting it live.

It's a lot easier to fix and change things that way, without the added pressure of trying to do it in a hurry.

Icy is a huge project, all you have to is learn how to use it, and preferably though a lot of effort on your own. And by reading anything else that is available to you.

Limun, you're the best! Thanks for taking the time to get that straightened out for me, it looks great!

Lopalong, understood. I still have a LOT to learn yet and will take my time.
