    A little help please

    I am running 3.0.4 and have a few questions/issues.
    1. When you click on member settings it goes to contact technical support team. How do I resolve this? I spent hours trying to fix this problems but never was able to.
    2. Despite looking in the manual I cannot seem to figure out how to put anything above the forum like a banner or link.
    3. I would like to upgrade the forum, but since I have never done that and I am not computer savvy, I have a fear that I will lose everything. What concerns should I have when updating. Is there anyone for hire to assist me with the issues if I cannot resolve them myself?
    4. Thank you

    1. That sounds like a database error? If so, view the page source and let us know the exact error.

    2. Probably just edit the page template - FORUMHOME (for index.php) or FORUMDISPLAY (for forumdisplay.php).

    3. You may purchase Professional Installation from our purchase page. However, we will not update your styles or modifications. If you want to do it yourself, I'd suggest creating a test site and doing the upgrade on there first to see what sorts of problems you may run into. You'll want to upgrade to 3.8 first and then to 4.x

    And remember, you can never have too many database backups during a major upgrade.

    Please don't PM or VM me for support - I only help out in the threads.

        I went to templates-Forum displat and forum home.. There is not anywhere that I can see to add, delete or modify banners.... Maybe I am just missing something?? Thanks for your help
