I have a question. How do you change the banner?   I thought all I had to was replace the smflogo.gif with the banner I made but it didn't work.

Thanks for any and all help.

Posting the index.template.php would help. ;)

<div class="logo-box"><a href="/index.php"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/logo.gif" width="225" height="75" alt="', $context['forum_name'], '" title="', $context['forum_name'], '" /></a></div>

you have three options for this, you could change this line to

<div class="logo-box"><a href="/index.php"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/smflogo.gif" width="225" height="75" alt="', $context['forum_name'], '" title="', $context['forum_name'], '" /></a></div>

you could rename your current banner to logo.gif

or you could upload your banner again calling it logo.gif

Hi same question .
I am trying to add a banner to Julie TP by Crip
Here is the banner a friend posted
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v351/Aethenor/river2.jpg
I saved it and uploaded it here
http://members.iinet.net.au/~curran/riverlogo.gif
Then I added that url to Julie in the admin panel
on modifying themes and add url here or leave blank for default logo
but that did not work
I chmod the permissions on the admin panel
I chmod the files using cuteftp
I was able to chmod all the folders until I got to Julie and permission was denied .

I wanted to replace logo.gif within the images directory
but I could not upload it or delete the extg one or rename the extg one

I got error messages and checked details ;

The filename provided is not being accepted by the server. Please check for invalid characters and try again. Click Details>> to see the exact server response.

What should I try next please ?
I want to add a banner to Julie TP and use it as my default .
