    Newbie ?: Changing vb image to own logo

    Ok...this is a total newbie question...

    But how in the heck do I change the vbulletin logo on my site to be my own forum logo?

    Upload your own logo to the images directory, then in the Admin CP change the {titleimage} replacement variable to use this image.

        It's a subdirectory of whichever directory you installed your vB too.

            Yes, your server where you installed vB.

              That's correct. I believe I'm the one who installed vB for you, so upload it in your /public_html/images/ directory.

                  That's what having five kids will do to you (among other things!)

                  Take a look at Cary's post.

                    OMG! 5 kids! You poor, lucky man! LOL!

                    Anyway...I did look at Cary's post...I can't find that, though.

                      1) Log into your FTP Server
                      2) Click on public_html
                      3) Click on images

                      If you still can't figure it out send your logo to [email protected] and I'll upload it for you.

                            Another way would be to try and upload the image just overwriting your vBulletin_logo.gif file (that is, if it's a .gif in the first place). This way you wouldn't have to mess with any replacements.

                              True, but that's still in the images directory
