Hi. I want to use the XD-created Blue Ion Template for my forum, but want to put a banner in the space where it says "Your Forum Name Here".
1. Is this the proper place to ask about the following? (If not I apologize.)
2. Is it possible to edit the code to either insert the name of my forum, or the link to a banner?
3. If the above isn't possible, what do I need to do to be able to get a banner added/inserted, or (at least) insert the name of my forum?
Thanks for your help, and sorry if I sound like an idiot. I'm very new to this stuff.
-Steve

It's fine . It's not a code really to change the text, you're just changing the image to say what you want it to say. To find the place to put your banner, just go to your admin panel and click on "Skins/Forum Colors". Then click on modify skin and change the logo url to the image of the banner with your forum's name on it. Also, post a request in the graphics request board if you want me to change the text on the banner(the image). Does that help?

Okay...I uploaded the image to my photobucket account, and TRIED to place it in as directed above, but nothing changed. It still says "Your Forum Name Here" at the top/left of my forum. What am I doing wrong? This is what I put in the Logo URL window of my 'modify skin' panel: i146.photobucket.com/albums/r273/ScottFree316/prowrestlingalphawr4.png(copied/pasted directly from my photobucket account. I also tried the tag as well.) Help?

Go into your global headers (Admin--> Modify Headers/footers-->Global) and find the code that is named: /* menu buttons inside banner by california */ The code replaces the banner from the modify skin page, so you have to change the code url to change the banner. Find this little portion in it: var imgURL = "http://img307.imageshack.us/img307/6159/bannercopy2bs.jpg"; change it to var imgURL = "http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r273/ScottFree316/prowrestlingalphawr4.png"; That should fix your problem.
