    Newbie Help - Header Image

    I'm new to vbulletin and I'm trying to change out the image in the header of my site www.volvoforum.com.

    I went to admincp - styles & temp - style manager - style name - style vars - images paths - and found title image. I renamed the image on my laptop to images/volvoforumlogo.gif and entered but it doesn't appear on the header of the site. Not sure what the heck I'm doing wrong.

    Thanks

    Maybe the image is hard coded into the template? Try to go to edit templates, then find the header template.

    I'm really a novice at this stuff, but I went into style manager - editor templates - header - then html code is visible. I don't know html code. Any advice on what I should look for?

    Thanks

    Do I have to upload the picture into an images directory first?

    Well you would need to upload the image somewhere to your server. Then in the img src, put the URL to that image.

    It would look something like this:

    HTML Code:
    <img src="mysite.com/images/banner.jpg" alt="This is what will show if someone hovers over your image" border="0" />

    Is this what you are referring to?

    [forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="images/solido/spacer.gif" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" width="400" height="129"></a></td>


    I loaded the photo I want to use onto my server. I named it volvoforumlogo.gif.

    If I change the code above will it then pull the photo from the server? How do I change the code?

    Thanks

    I think I figured it out. It was lower in the advanced section. You can let me know what you think of the new logo www.volvoforum.com.

    Thanks for the help.

    Now I need to figure out how to control the bad bots that are running on the site.
