Go to ACP>html>global>board header logo

find

Code:

<!--IBF.BANNER-->
<div id='logostrip'>
  <a href='{ibf.script_url}' title='Board Home'><img src='{ibf.vars.img_url}/logo4.gif' alt='Powered by Invision Power Board' border="0" /></a>
</div>

change to

Code:

<!--IBF.BANNER-->
<div id='logostrip'>
  <a href='{ibf.script_url}' title='Board Home'><img src='URL OF YOUR NEW LOGO' alt='Powered by Invision Power Board' border="0" /></a>
</div>

or

Code:

<!--IBF.BANNER-->

  <a href='{ibf.script_url}' title='Board Home'><img src='URL OF YOUR NEW LOGO' alt='WHATEVER YOU LIKE' border="0" /></a>

to center it

Code:

<center>  <a href='{ibf.script_url}' title='Board Home'><img src='URL OF YOUR NEW LOGO' alt='WHATEVER YOU LIKE' border="0" /></a></center>

The URL in your address bar.

To shut down your forum, just turn it off by going to ACP > Board On/Off > "Turn forum offline?" Select yes.

Make sure you don't login to your board ever again. It will delete itself.

But it makes no sense..
Were do i UPLOAD a BANNER ...? So i can get the URL and then use it
Thats what i meant

You have to upload your banner to an image host and get the URL from there

Hope it helped. Good luck

The first thing you have to do is to make a banner. Once that is complete, upload it to an image hosting website like Wild Cat said. If you upload it to File Hive, it helps out a lot when you go to change the banner.

After you do that, go here for instructions on how to upload a banner to an IPB forum. If at first it doesn't work for you, fiddle with it for a bit. If you make a mistake, you can always reload the original skin to start fresh.

It took me several times when I was trying to upload one to a friend's forum, but eventually I figured it out.

Good Luck.

LOL

it took me less than 5 minutes from when I first read the documentation to actually do it........ (I use Photobucket)

Not hard at all

----------------------------------
BTW.. you might also want to make your banner flexible....... so it would expand and shrink with the width of the browser............ this is how to do it:

After the url of your image in the code add width="100%"

so the code looks like this:

Code:

<!--IBF.BANNER-->
<div id='logostrip' >
  <a href='{ibf.script_url}' title='Board Home'><img src='http://your image url'  width="100%" alt='Powered by Invision Power Board' border="0" /></a>
</div>

Hope it helped. Good luck

I can do it for you if you trust me......... but don't give me your password (or to anyone else for that matter)!!!

Create another admin account (with limited permissions.... for example don't let them edit users and groups ...) and send the details in a PM......... then you can always demote that admin or change the password...so you are sure that no harm to your forum can be done in the future...
