How to place a google HTML Tag for ownership of my forum on the home page

my created forum http://yotastreetmachines.forumotion.com/

I need to verify my ownership of the forum with google. I added the HTML Tag, however not in the correct place and certainly not on the home page css

Verification failed for http://yotastreetmachines.forumotion.com/ using the Meta tag method (less than a minute ago). Your meta tag is not formatted correctly. To avoid errors, copy and paste the contents of the meta tag directly from the instructions.

1. Copy the meta tag below, and paste it into your site's home page. It should go in the <head> section, before the first <body> section.

<meta name="google-site-verification" content="6e6Y5RSxO7Prd0KxdYa8MKkEaj2PhTWTSw33FiGCF4c" />

thanks for any help!

Hello,

1st: What precisely do you mean by 'site verification'?
2nd: Where did you add that html tag/line in your ACP (admin panel)?

Go to your Admin panel -> Display -> Templates - General find overall_header, click edit and just below <head> tag add that code.

Save changes, click on green + (publish changes) and that's it.
