.. and for goodness sake use a proper description of your request/query in your thread title  :o

I think he wants to change a logo picture. So, you need to go your FTP's theme's folder/images, and here you can find the SM logo picture what you need to change.

Bigguy

Right click on the image and go to properties. That will tell you exactly were it is (the path of the image). Either change it manually that way or you may be able to change it in the admin panel.

He's made several threads like this and he's never going to learn how to ask for what he wants in a way people understand if people guess and get it right. Just my humble opinion. :)
DO NOT pm me for support!

What theme are you using? As Bigguy mentioned, it should be as easy as replacing that logo image with your own.

Bruce - hundreds of other folks who don't have English as a primary language manage to ask coherent questions.

We extend some level of understanding when non-english speakers post questions --  but when those same posters CONTINUE to ignore the requests regarding how to improve their question-posts, they lose that leeway.

Use descriptive titles. "SMF" is worse than useless
Use words... not screenshots. Screenshots can be used to illustrate, but words should be used to describe.

Kindred i understood what he was on about. He has put it in words as best as he could. I didn't have any issues.
I also found the picture he linked was helpful, well to me it was and i would say a few others as well.
Bigguy and Navmartin answered it correctly.
They both clearly understood it, to point him in the right direction.

Renamed the title; hopefully it's more clear now. From what I understood the OP wants to replace the Simple Machines Forum image on his forum with a different one.

If the user is on the default theme (or a derivative), it's straightforward.
1. Log in with your host's control panel, and open the file manager / Use FTP to log in to access  your files.
2. Navigate to {forum directory}/Themes/default/images, and find "smflogo.png".
3. Rename that image to "smflogo_old.png".
4. Upload a new image (with .png extension!) and make sure it is named "smflogo.png".
5. Open your forum again, and check if the image is in place. If you see no image, make sure it is named correctly. If you see the old image, press F5, and if that doesn't work press CTRL+F5. This makes your browser cache your page again, including the new image.
