Problems with board skin application, and Logo banner.

Our boards link, http://flds.3.forumer.com/
Hi there, I have recently been made admin of our forum, and have been asked if I can change the skin to a more gamer styled one, I have found one, which is an IFSkinzone one, but have no idea where to put the new skins coding in on our board, Also, I have looked in the header logo section to try and put in a logo made for our site with the link, but whenever it has edited it, the board banner is minus the name of the skin and still no clan image banner is displayed. I have spent an hour on this already tonite and am worn out, and not particularly good with coding. pleeze help!

Many thanks

Most ifsz skins is nmot compatible with Forumer forums. We cannot provide support for the skins found at ifsz.

Here is the Forumer IPB Documentation on how to add a banner:

Ok i understand that, the thing with the logo banner is that i put newly designed one in, and it goes on but then you can see parts of the coding showing on the main page of the forum. How do i stop this from happening, I have also hosted the logo banner on an image hosting service like image shack. and inserted the url in to the part you highlighted in red on the tutorial bits. but still have the coding problem showing up.

The banner problem is because you used the incorrect code.

<a href='http://flds.3.forumer.com/index.php?' title='Board Home'><img src='<a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img420.imageshack.us/img420/8819/combinedevovanillbanner2wq.jpg" border="0" width="728" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a>' alt='Powered by Invision Power Board' border="0" /></a>

Always choose the direct link to image on image hosting. Here is the corect code (replace the old):

<a href='http://flds.3.forumer.com/index.php?' title='Board Home'><img src="http://img420.imageshack.us/img420/8819/combinedevovanillbanner2wq.jpg" alt="Powered by Invision Power Board" border="0" /></a>
