Hi Guys I'm very new to this and after a day and a half of searching for answers and looking at coding it's time to ask for some help

I uploaded my forum on Sunday
Now in the top left it says My Board and in the top right is the SMF logo, I want to replace "My Board" with the forum name and remove the SMF logo, I would also like to have the forum name top middle
I have read this thread http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=44138.0 but I'm not sure it's for version 2.02, by following the instructions I came across this code

['forum_name'] : '<img src="' . $context['header_logo_url_html_safe'] . '" alt="' . $context['forum_name'] . '" />', '</a>
         </h1>';

   // the upshrink image, right-floated
   echo '
         <img id="upshrink" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/upshrink.png" alt="*" title="', $txt['upshrink_description'], '" style="display: none;" />';
   echo '
         ', empty($settings['site_slogan']) ? '<img id="smflogo" src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/smflogo.png" alt="Simple Machines Forum" title="Simple Machines Forum" />' : '<div id="siteslogan" class="floatright">' . $settings['site_slogan'] . '</div>', '
      </div>
      <div id="upper_section" class="middletext"', empty($options['collapse_header']) ? '' : ' style="display: none;"', '>
         <div class="user">';

So I have 3 questions
1 Am I even close to in the right place?
2 What do I need to change to to get the result I'm looking for?
3 can the above code be edited by a genious so I can just paste it back in?

any Help gratefully recieved

Jeez no sooner than I post I find out how to change the name from my board

I would still like to center it and remove the SMF logo though

That "My board" thing, I've never seen. Do you mean "My community"?

If so, you want to go to Admin>Current theme and change "Forum title". :)

There's a mod to remove the logo, although you can just change the Themes\default\images\smflogo.png image with your own, if you prefer.

Yeah mine was reading My Board, but I found a post telling me where to change that and have done so (never give up looking the answer is allways there somewhere)

I think I'll go without a logo for now, So I'm off to try the mod

Thanks for your help

Installations actions for "Remove SMF Logo"

The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.

Back to the drawing board then I guess, version is SMF 2.0.2
