I was wondering why i must use the url "snkclan.nuclearfallout.net/forums" to get to my forums. When i go to say troy.nuclearfallout.net, it automatically brings me to their forums. If I use "snkclan.nuclearfallout.net" it just brings me to /index of page.

Any way to change this?

You just need to use html and redirect.

Make a index.html file and place it in your root that includes this within the html tags:

Code:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
      CONTENT="0; URL=http://snkclan.nuclearfallout.net/forums/">

The 0 is to make it immediate. If you need other examples, google can provide several. Enjoy

thank you, one more question, ive been looking for a place to put html to edit the website. Where do i input it?

That would depend where you want it on the website, you would need to look through the source code and place it accordingly.

Ok i got the redirect thing working. Thank you.

I'm wonder about how i would do this:

how would I put html into the forum so that a custom banner will appear at the top of every page and that php thing is gone?

oh sorry, and how can I add a custom layout?

As we said on the phpbb auto installer, we do not provide support for phpbb, you need to refer to their site or related phpbb sites for support on their mods, modifications, styles, etc.

I'll help you with these two questions since they are answered for you on the phpbb site, under support, under knowledge base.

Changing logo:

How do I replace the phpBB2 logo with my own?

Aaah, that old demon which seems to be continually popping up around the support forum. "But am I actually allowed to change the logo to my own?" I hear you say. Yes you are. There is nothing wrong with changing the default subSilver logo. And there are 2 ways to do so.

The first way is by changing the path of the logo. Upload your logo to templates/subSilver/images and call it logo.gif or something like that. Then, look (near the end of the document) for:

Code:

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

Simply change the bit highlighted in red to the path of your own logo. Easy or what??

The second way to change the logo is even easier. Just overwrite logo_phpbb.gif with your own logo and upload it to templates/subSilver/images and call it logo_phpbb.gif. Couldn't be easier!

Custom layout:

For the banner, you can make a banner, and name it as logo_phpBB.gif and place it in the image folder.

phpbb2/templates/subsilver/images/

For the custom layout, you can find one on the phpBB website.
http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/catdb.php?db=2

To install it, put the folder in phpbb2/templates and then login to the administration panel, go to styles and add the styles.
