Depending on your template title, this is the path you would upload your new logo: [i]/templates/YOUR_STYLE/images/YOUR_STYLE_IMG_FOLDER/sitelogo_small.png[/i] If you are simply replacing the default sitelogo_small.png graphic, you should make sure your logo is of the same filetype. Notice the current filetype is .png. If you wish to change the logo to a different filetype such .gif, .jpg, .PNG, .bmp, etc., open: [i]ip_root/templates/default/default.cfg[/i]. [b]FIND:[/b] [code linenumbers=false]$images['sitelogo'] = $current_template_images . 'sitelogo_small.png';[/code] [b]CHANGE:[/b] (change the logo name to your logo name) [code linenumbers=false]sitelogo_small.png[/code] [hr] [url href=#second_chapter name=second_chapter][b]What is a favicon and how do I change mine?[/b] [img]http://www.icyphoenix.com/files/images/3295/abfavicon.png[/img] A favicon is a website icon that is displayed in a website's address bar. This is a favorite of many webmasters because when their website is set as a favorite or bookmarked, their favicon will appear next to the bookmark name in a browser's bookmarks. This allows visitors to easily find the bookmarked website they want to visit. Many webmasters use standard or animated favicons. If you don't already have a favicon, you can create a small, usually 16x16 icon in programs such as Microsoft Paint or Adobe Photoshop. The favicon can be saved in .ico if you have the plugin for it in Adobe Photoshop. If you don't have Adobe Photoshop, you can still create your favicon using Microsoft Paint. Once you have created your .jpg, .gif, .png icon, you can convert it to an .ico file [url=http://www.prodraw.net/favicon/index.php]here. Rename the file, if it hasn't been done already, to favicon.ico. Make sure it keeps the .ico file extension. Upload this image to [i]ip_root/images/[/i]. Overwrite the old favicon.ico file already on your server. You should now clear your website cache and close all browser windows. The new favicon should now be seen when visiting your website. [hr] [url href=#third_chapter name=third_chapter][b]How do I change the sender of the "Welcome" private message?[/b] If you have access to the website database, run this query: [code linenumbers=false]UPDATE phpbb_config SET config_value = '2' WHERE config_name = 'main_admin_id';[/code] Be sure to change the number 2 with the user ID of the account you wish for it to be sent from.

I If you want to add things to the http://www.freakybehavior.com/forum/ complete banner at the top, how do you do that? I found the "top_header.png" and it repeats. But I want to change the middle part of the banner to read What's your Freak Song?TM at the top. In this example, where the blue part of the banner at the top of the screen is located. How can I do that? When I made a banner, the dimensions would only be 262x120. When I made it that size, it repeated. I changed the stylesheet to "no-repeat" and that didn't change anything.

[hr][/quote] When I changed this meta names and descriptions and look at the code of index page I saw only this [code linenumbers=false] Why they not changing into russian letters?

First thing can be changed in lang_main_settings.php, second thing requires you to use an enhanced text editor, like the free PSPad for example (then you have to change your file encoding.). ----------------------------------- Informpro Mon 15 Feb, 2010 08:54 Re: CUSTOMIZATION - How To Customize Some IP Basics ----------------------------------- [code syntax=php]
