hi...i need help with the night-time grey skin. in the upper right, it says you can add your own logo there. i have gone into the html to change it through the admin cp, but does it have to be a .bmp document? and how do i change this? do i need a url to it or what? thank you.

No, doesnt have to be bmp, i suggest not those files are huge. Yes you need a URL for the new image. Try Ripway.com, Imageshack.us or Photobucket.com for some places to host images

Right to get the logo up there when you have got your url eg: http://myimage.photobucket.com.
Heres the steps go into the admin cp and:
1: Click HTML templates under skins and templates
2: Manage HTML
3: Global HTML elements
4: Click edit single next to Board Header (logo, links, etc)
5: find:
}
}
//-->
</script>
<!-- IE6/Win TABLE FIX -->
[img]{ibf.vars.img_url}/logo.bmp[/img]


<a href='{ibf.script_url}'>[img]{ibf.vars.img_url}/home.bmp[/img]</a>


Replace the red part with whatever url you want (the one to your banner and/or image)

If you need a banner request one in the Graphics and Web Design forum.

Hope this helps
