I was wondering if it is possible to change the header on the forum, so that I can put my logo on top instead of the phpbb logo. If so, can you please tell me in detail how to change this.

Thanks.

Changing the default header template will do that.

Shaggy .. just right click on the PHPBB logo, click properties, that will tell you where the logo file is on your server. Create a logo ... rename it the same as the PHPBB logo name ... and upload it into the same directory as where the PHPBB logo is, and it will replace the PHPBB logo.

Keep in mind that the phpbb forum script is template parsed, and that all of the elements that make up the site are contained within the .tpl files (/templates/subSilver/*.tpl)

By editing the template files, you can not only change the logo, but the positioning of every element on the forum. The file you would need to edit for the logo change is overall_header.tpl

Be careful when editing the .tpl files. If you don't take notes on what you change, you will run into a world of problems when it comes time for you to start installing mods. The mods will make your site more appealing to your visitors and the installation instructions are very straightforward, but they rely heavily on the exact wording of the original .tpl files.

I hope this helps.
