Look in your Index.template.php file, and look for the logo or sitename ($mbname) somewhere after the body html tag.  I do not know which theme that is so I cannot be more specific.  Sorry...

If that theme already has a logo, you can always right click on it and go to Properties. Then see what size it has and make your logo the same size.

It is the default modified theme i am running 1.1.4 will this make any difference also i am running firefox with firebug can i do this on the fly.
cheers

Did you check the size of your logo and the one from SMF? If they are about the same, you probably won't notice much change in size. Even if your logo is bigger or smaller, it shouldn't affect the forum's overall appearance unless it's a huge logo. Look for smflogo.gif in Themes/default/images and rename that file. Put your file in and rename it to smflogo.gif

Let's try this. Edit your index.template.php, find

Code Select Expand

if (empty($settings['header_logo_url']))
echo '
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 140%; ">', $context['forum_name'], '</span>';
else
echo '
<img src="', $settings['header_logo_url'], '" style="margin: 4px;" alt="', $context['forum_name'], '" />';

echo '
</td>

and add at the bottom of the </td>

Code Select Expand

<td>
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/filename_of_yourlogo.gif" width="200" alt="" />
</td>

your filename_of_yourlogo.gif should be in default/images directory. Change the width="200" to adjust the width of your logo.

You forgot <td> just before the <img src... It should be like this

Code Select Expand

echo '
   </td>
<td>
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/kob.jpg" width="100" alt="" />
</td>

Try that.

I have just copied and paste what you said JB and still no joy..if you go to my forum you will see what it as changed it to i have left it up there any ideas.
Thanks

I'll tell you what. Put back the original codes and we'll work from there. The original codes...

Code Select Expand

echo '
</td>
<td align="left" class="catbg">
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/smflogo.gif" style="margin: 2px;" alt="" />
</td>

Replace the smflogo.gif with kob.jpg. If still won't display your logo, then the filename is wrong or it is in different directory.

[smo1722]

Done what you said JB and it works fine with sm logo,but no other pics that i have uploaded into the image folder  going back to what greyknight posted about the smflogo.gif well i cant see that in the images folder either.
Cheers

It should be in /Themes/default/images/ folder. If not, download the install package here. Then extract only that smflogo.gif file and upload it to that folder.
