Hello!

This graphic can easily be replaced by any of your choosing.

Use any simple webhost/picture host to upload your picture. I recommend using one from this database list: http://kb.forumer.com/index.php?article=76.

When you have your banner uploaded, find the "Direct URL" of it.

Then make sure you are logged into your ACP, and click on the "HTML Templates" link under the "Skins and Templates" heading.
Click "Manage HTML" and scroll down until you find "Global HTML elements (skin_global.php)". Click on that link.

Under the "Board Header" title, move to the right and click "Edit Single".

Search through that code until you find the following:

Code:
<!--IBF.BANNER-->
<div align="center">
<div id='logostrip'>
  <a href='{ibf.script_url}' title=''><img src='/style_images/papyrus/logo4.gif' alt='Powered by Invision Power Board' border="5" /></a>
Replace the image source (/style_images/papyrus/logo4.gif) with your Direct URL of your graphic.

Click "Update Templates" at the bottom, and you are done!

By the way, if you need help creating a new graphic for your forum, fhq offers free graphics requests here: http://fhq.forumer.com/graphics-requests/. Just follow the guidelines and they will have you a professional graphic in no time.

Hope this helps! Cheers!
