phpBB code question
I went and looked at someone's website who had a banner up to like that and I found this code in the body.
<table width="760" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" class="forumline">
<tr>
<td background="templates/Coldsteel/images/catbg2.gif" height="28" align="center" valign="middle" nowrap="nowrap">
<span class="mainmenu">:: <a href="index.php?sid=c6b5befbf035ec9c3ced38595333e7fe" class="mainmenu">Home </a>

</table>Where abouts in the overall_header.tpl should I place it? I think that it goes in the body but I am not sure what code to overwrite. Is it this:
<body bgcolor="{T_BODY_BGCOLOR}" text="{T_BODY_TEXT}" link="{T_BODY_LINK}" vlink="{T_BODY_VLINK}" />
<a name="top"></a>

depending how much of the heading you want to replace, set the inner tables border to 1 (border="1") and see how much it affects of the layout, if its not enough, do the same to the outer table.
If you just want to replace the logo, rename logo_phpBB.gif to logo_phpBB-old.gif and make a new logo_phpBB.gif image and upload

No! What I want is for everything to be in a line at the top like:
--------------------------------------------------
BANNER
--------------------------------------------------
Link Link Link Link Link Link Link

AT the moment the code in the main table holds it all together and the nested tables diplays the links etc, turn the table borders to 1 and see where they start/stop and adjust to suit
NOTE, before changing the code, save a copy of the page and name it top.old or something, so if you do make a boo boo you can always revert back to the orginal.
When I changed my one it took me forever to find one section to change a link, then I found it but had messed up another bit further down.
