One way I know of is to upload a new graphic to the following location:
   http://www.jipindu.com/forum/templates/subSilver/images/logo_phpBB.gif

There may be another way, though.

You can also edit the template... the file that contains the logo is templates/subsilver/overall_header.tpl

It's mostly just HTML, so it's pretty easy to edit.

Replacing the logo_phpbb.gif file with one of your own (using the same file name) works, but I think it has to have the same dimensions or it will be distorted.

Thank you guys!! I did it!!
now I want to change the url that is linked to it, instead of linking it to the forum, I want it to be linked to my main page (index).
What do I have to change? {U_INDEX}?
but, with what?

<a href="{U_INDEX}"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/logo_phpBB.gif" border="0" alt="{L_INDEX}" vspace="1" /></a>

Hope u guys don't get tired of me...   "[eyeroll]"

What you can do is use a full address as the "img src".  For example:

<a href="{U_INDEX}"><img src="http://www.jipindu.com/logo_phpBB.gif" border="0" alt="{L_INDEX}" vspace="1" /></a>

That will take the image from the exact location instead of being relative to the current folder.  Let me know how that works, the code may need to be tweaked as I have not used that forum software.

No, I think he meant, how could he replace what the pictures links to.

You could just take out {U_INDEX} and put in http://www.yoursite.com

that would be the easiest, and laziest way!!
