    how do I edit the header

    Hi.. I hate to keep asking stupid questions but how do I replace or remove the vbulletin logo image at the upper left hand corner of my forums... its url is .....vbulletin3_logo_white.gif

    (yeah I know: there are no stupid questions only stupid answers)

    BTW.. In my opinion v bulletin board is vastly superior to ubb

    Thanks, Marshall

      Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> StyleVars (in the menu) -> Title Image

      Or edit the HTML directly:

      Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Common Templates (in the menu) -> header

          Thanks, but now how do I make my replacement image link to a another website and open up in a new window?

              That requires editing the HTML code in the header template.

                  This is what I see:

                  <!-- logo -->
                  <a name="top"></a>
                  <table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
                  <tr>
                  <td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
                  <td align="$stylevar[right]" id="header_right_cell">
                  <if condition="$ad_location['ad_header_logo']">$ad_location[ad_header_logo]<else />&nbsp;</if>
                  </td>
                  </tr>
                  </table>
                  <!-- /logo -->
                  <!-- content table -->
                  $spacer_open
                  $_phpinclude_output
                  $ad_location[ad_header_end]

                  This is what I want (see below)... something doesnt see right with your instructions..... or am I totally missing something?

                      Editing that template requires some HTML ability on your part.

                                      Jason.. THANK YOU.

                                      I sent Jason a Private Message and in less than 3 minutes after doing so I got a notification that you had responded to my thread. V bulletin board should put Jason on the payroll..

                                      Why Jake couldn't have responded as you did leaves a big question mark in my mind. If I knew how do to this then I wouldnt have asked him... his response to the affect that I need to know more about HTML wasn't appropriate at least not coming from a employee of the company or so that is how it appears to me. If I am wrong about this then someone please tell me...

                                          You're welcome, but don't be too upset. AFAIK Jake is a volunteer here and helps a great deal of people every day.

                                              My apologies to Jake... I did appreciate his initial responses and after that I guess I feel like he left me out hanging...

                                              Jason with no exaggeration you gave me the answer within 3 minutes of my sending you a private message. There are people like myself how are not good at sorting code from html...

                                              Thanks for your help... wasnt trying to whine but i guess i was.. my apologies

                                                  If you look around here you see lots of examples of VB staff offering HTML help when it is of a general interest. Taking time to write code specific to one persons needs is absurd to expect.
