    Question Mark

    My friend had a friend set up a forum for our clan and I need to know how to access where our phpbb root path is. We obviously have a phpbb forum. I wanted to change the banner of the forum and to implement pictures in for the ranks of each member for the number of posts they achieve. I already set up the ranks and the number of posts u need to reach them in, I just need to figure out how to implement the pictures in. Can u guys help me out? If it helps, cjb.net hosts our site and our forum.

    You need FTP access to upload the images.

    Even if I can't implement the pictures (which I would really like to do), would I need FTP for editing the default forum banner??

    find a domain name that you like, that's cheap to register, and point it to your comcast one.
    anyway, when you do it, you should make your new banner image, and overwrite the
    /phpBB root dir/templates/subSilver/images/logo_phpBB.gif

    if the dimensions are different, you'll also need to edit the <img> tag in overall_header.tpl...if you're using subSilver
