    Solved Changing Skin and Installing Forum Logo

    Post by Meadowlark May 11th 2013, 5:13 pm

    It's my first time changing my forum skin and I am very nervous about my forum disappearing.

    I would like to install this Hitskin: http://en.hitskin.com/search-a-skin/light-theme-181526.htm

    When I Preview it, the theme name "Light Theme" and the creator shows at the top of the Preview. Will that also show up when I install it? If so, how do I replace it with my forum name? If I should ever want to replace that theme, is it something I could do myself or do I have to ask Support to do it for me?

    Concise instructions will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    To install a new theme all you have to do is go to Hitskins and install the theme. You can also change version by installing a theme from a different version.

    To change the forum's banner:
    Administration Panel > Display > Colors & Pictures > Pics Management
    Advanced Mode
    General/Index Tab
    Banner/Logo:
