Haven't used phpbb for years, since v2 or something :L

From what I remember, in the admin control panel, you've got header options (where you've got the image), surely just a html tag would do?

<a href="link" border="0"> existing image code here </a>

Not 100% sure how phpbb still works though, could be thinking of ipb.

[Oscar99]

Nah i'm pretty sure that is IPB your thinking of.

I think with phpbb, it has to be edited manually in the core php files.

Indeed you do XD

Last time i used phpbb was when phpbb3 had just been released.

Send me your template pages and i'll see what I can do.

Download our template HERE

Hmm, that is one weird template. Anyway, i think i've got it done but without testing it myself I can't be 100% sure. I have changed one file, I do recommend backing up everything before changing anything.

The header image is not inserted as an image, but rather a background picture which is fine and all, but it was a pain to find. I have changed it now so that it is an image, and i have added a link to it.

Replace the file "overall_header.html" in the directory "1Game\template" with the attached file.

Hope this helps.

Hmm

uploaded the file & i tested it before doing so & the link works fine, however when you upload it to the main ftp it doesn't seem to want to link anymore.

[Smifis]

...?

Did you put it in the styles folder?

Is it still in there?

[Oscar99]

I've put it in the styles template folder yes & replaced the original file
