Hi, I recently switched to SMF for my website, and have been trying to configure it to my likings. I downloaded this theme from a theme provider, and it works great. There are some things, however, I would like to switch.

First of all, a hyperlink of my domain name comes up smack-dab in the middle. I am wondering if it is possible to remove it. After removing it, would there be a way to hyperlink a picture? So when someone would click on the picture, it would re-direct them to the front page?

Thanks, as you can see, my Web 101 is lacking.  ::)

Maybe this image will help in what I am trying to do... I want to get rid of "forum.applecraft.com" and link the hyperlink to the image above it.

To get rid of the text, go to Admin>Current theme and remove the text from "Logo image URL:".

I'm not sure what you mean by "link the hyperlink to the image above it.", I'm afraid. You want the logo to be clickable?

they are talking about the default text that shows up if there is no logo... the forum title. best would be to edit the template to remove the code to show it.

Correct! Is there a way to make it happen? Possible by editing the code? Thanks.

given that the logo is actually the background image that makes things more complicated and adding to that the fact that you dont have your own logo that can be linked like normal.

Are you talking about the "Applecraft: A Minecraft Server for Everyone" being the logo or the "forum.applecraft.com" text being the logo?

the text, is the on top of the logo, the logo is part of the theme and usually set with css so it can not easily be made into a link.

if you had a logo the text would not show up as it would be replaced with the logo.

How should i go along adding the logo then? I've opened up the .css file, but have no clue where to start.  ::) ::) ::)

EDIT: I was going through the .css, and found this:

/* the main title, always stay at 45 pixels in height! */
h1.forumtitle
{
   line-height: 45px;
   font-size: 4em;
   font-family: "mine", Geneva, verdana, sans-serif;
   margin: 0;
   padding: 0;
   float: left;"

Would this be what I am looking for?

you would be best to ask the theme author how to remove the title from the theme and create the link you want.
