Changing the logo in a fresh installation of phpBB 3.0 is pretty simple. 

  1. Use FTP to navigate to the folder: yourwebsite.co.uk/styles/prosilver/imageset/
  2. Download the file called: "site_logo.gif"
  3. Edit the file in a paint program like Paint Shop Pro or create a new file with the same dimensions.
  4. Now FTP the file back to where it came from.

There, done!

phpBB 3.0 edit footer

Changing the footer in a fresh installation of phpBB 3.0 is pretty simple. 

Don't forget to leave the line "Powered by phpBB © 2000, 2002, 2005, 2007 phpBB Group" as this is only fair to the creators of phpBB, plus I don't think they will offer any support in their forum without it.

  1. Use FTP to navigate to the template folder: yourwebsite.co.uk/styles/prosilver/template/
  2. Download the file called: "overall_footer.html"
  3. Edit the file in a text editor like notepad or as I did dreamweaver making the changes you require and save (don't forget you can use the <br /> tag in the footer to put in line breaks).
  4. FTP the file back to where it came from.

Now you need to refresh your forum's cache of the template.

  1. Log into forum's admin panel.
  2. Select "Styles" from top menu bar.
  3. Select "Templates" under the "Style Components" heading on the left.
  4. Select "Refresh" under "Actions" on the main part of the window.

There, done!
