smf forums

i've just installed it for a new site. never used it before (as an admin). how do you change the board title from "my community" in the top-left to something else?

can't believe something as simple as this isn't obvious in the admin cp, like it is in phpbb. :/

I just replaced the image with mine

it lives in ....

/Themes/classic/images/smflogo.gif

so I renamed it to smf-logo-old.gif

and put my own gif, in the name of smflogo.gif

saves messing around
 
i forgot to say

SMF ain't as easy as something like IPB

coz if you want to modify the template .. you gotta dig for a it a little

whereas with IPB it's all in the admin section

not in SMF.
 
changing an image is easy, you just follow the path, but it's text that i want to change.

ie, at the bottom of the board is this copyright message...

it's "my community" which i want to change.

the same name appears in the top-left in large letters (again, it's text, not an image). I shouldn't have to manually change this in the php files, there should be an option in the admin cp somewhere for changing the title of my board. :/

guess not though...

i'm tempted to go back to phpbb already!
