I would like to have a simple couple of paragraphs on the homepage of my forum.

I know this question has probably been answered but I want to create a text box with a few paragraphs on the top section of the opening page of my forum. Is there a simple way of doing this in phpBB3? I am VERY new to forums so please forgive my ignorance.

Regards,

nosty

go to admin panel then click display and then click generalities under skins and once you click it you can set your homepage message

Thanks everyone! A quick question would now be is there any way I can use a text box with a verticle slider there?

my forum is at emotecontrol.american-forum.net Also, I would like to make my banner at the top of the page bigger but I could not find it in the CSS. Any quick advice?

Just add the following code in your css. Adjust the max-height to your need if you wish.

Code:

.mes-txt {
    max-height: 300px;
    overflow-y: scroll;
}

The bigger your image is, the bigger will be the banner. Just use a bigger image.
If you want to adjust the current image, it will be resized but the quality of the image will degrade.
Use this code for resizing

Code:

#logo img {
    width: 1100px;
}
