File Transfer Protocol. A utility for transferring files between two computers.

Who is your host? FTP stand for File Transfer Protocol and would allow me to manipulate the file structure of your forum to locate the Attachments directory and verify its permissions are configured correctly.

Just a few seconds to fast, Mr. Phil

re: my last post. No answer yet

back to my earlier question, how do I attach my own forum logo/banner to my main page theme?  do I need specific sizes and resolution?

[Antechinus]

Nope. Any size should be ok. There's an input box for the logo url on the "Current Theme" page in admin.

[melanie1986]

Oh cool thank you Antechinus............. btw where did you get that name? lol 

[Shambles]

Buhahaha. Maybe he hogs hedges for a living

[melanie1986]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[melanie1986]

okays I have this page. what do I do now?


Modify Themes
SMF Default Theme - Curve (2.0)

    Browse the templates and files in this theme.
    Edit this theme's stylesheets.
    Copy a template from the theme this is based on.

[Kill Em All]

You are viewing the modify themes tab. Select the Theme Settings tab instead. Then select your default theme. You should then see the "Logo image URL:" Ant was talking about.

[melanie1986]

Ah...okays. That makes more sense now thank you.

I can't remember if I asked this before. How do I change the topic icons? Instead of the default one that looks like a page I wanted to have something like this

[Kill Em All]

Admin>Forum>Smileys and message icons>settings>tick Enable customized message icons

Then you can edit message icons in the new tab next to smiley sets.

[Antechinus]

Oh cool thank you Antechinus............. btw where did you get that name? lol 

They're Australian native animals. Due to the environment they live in, the species has an unusual breeding strategy. The males literally f**k themselves to death. I found it rather amusing. Reminded me of some behaviour I've seen in humans.

[melanie1986]

great answers guys thank you
