I'm not 100% sure as to what SMF version I have, if it helps... This is my default theme's name...
"SMF Default Theme - Curve (2.0 RC3)"
I will pm anyone who is willing to help me the link to my website, as I for some reason am not allowed to post external links.
I'd really appreciate it if someone could give me a hand with this, as I am very VERY new to Simple Machines.
Thanks,
Trep.

(That is the website, just testing something here to see if you guys can see it, take out the spaces to view it.)
Hello Trepidation.
Well with a bit of fiddling I can see your site. You are indeed running SMF 2.0 RC3.
I see you've modified the template to get the banner up there but you've got some extra code showing there too.
You've hard coded the banner so probably just adding a <div> pair will align it for you, like this.
However if you didn't hard code it then we'll need to think again. ;)
Strike all that, just realised you added your banner as the logo. Sorry.
Now to centre that we need to change a CSS setting. Gimme a few minutes.
I feel like somewhat of an idiot, but where can I go to edit the code and paste what you've just provided? I'm the one who designed the banner, but I wasn't the one who put it up... Like I said I am very VERY new to simple machines. Thanks for the help though!
Couldn't he just do this? Or is it more complicated than that?

Just tried it and it didn't work
It's a LITTLE more complicated with that, I wish it was that easy, lol.

As I'm learning this stuff too that's what I'm finding, nothing is easy LOL
Yeah, everything seems a little TOO sophisticated these days with forums and whatnot. I don't know why it's such a big secret to be able to center a banner for a forum, seems too secretive to me.
Sorry guys, I got ahead of myself and posted some rubbish before really checking what I thought would work. Anyway, here goes.
In your Current Theme settings, remove the link to the logo like you have at the moment. Replace it with a backslash.
Now in Themes > Default
Find and open (download to your computer for editing) index.template.php Open it in some plain text editor (Notepad for Windows will do, don't use a word processor!).
In that file find the following code.
<div id="wrapper" style="width: ' . $settings['forum_width'] . '">' : '', '
<div id="header"><div class="frame">
<div id="top_section">
<h1 class="forumtitle">
<a href="', $scripturl, '">', empty($context['header_logo_url_html_safe']) ? $context['forum_name'] : '<img src="' . $context['header_logo_url_html_safe'] . '" alt="' . $context['forum_name'] . '" />', '</a>
</h1>';
// the upshrink image, right-floated
change it by adding this line into the middle:
<div align="center"><a href="http://merch.timer150.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=07770ce9f185b24059f597796ab452c5&"><img src="http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/4092/4moolabanner.png" alt="4Moola Official Runescape Merchanting Forums" /></a></div>
So it looks like this.
<div id="wrapper" style="width: ' . $settings['forum_width'] . '">' : '', '
<div id="header"><div class="frame">
<div id="top_section">
<div align="center"><a href="http://merch.timer150.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=07770ce9f185b24059f597796ab452c5&"><img src="http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/4092/4moolabanner.png" alt="4Moola Official Runescape Merchanting Forums" /></a></div>
<h1 class="forumtitle">
<a href="', $scripturl, '">', empty($context['header_logo_url_html_safe']) ? $context['forum_name'] : '<img src="' . $context['header_logo_url_html_safe'] . '" alt="' . $context['forum_name'] . '" />', '</a>
</h1>';
// the upshrink image, right-floated
Save and upload the file back to the server, do a Refresh CTRL + F5 and your banner is now permanent and centred.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. It's been taking me so darn long to try to make this thing work, and it finally does! Greatly appreciated.
Nice... Just fixed my issue with a bit of editing.. thanks for a great solution :D
