This is what I want to change. See attachment. It is a picture/image.
What is your URL?

The site URL is http://www.bluewaternavy.org/forum/index.php
admin panel >> templates >> active theme templates >> Header Templates >> header

find logo div code like below
<div class="logo"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/index.php"><img src="{$theme['logo']}" alt="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" title="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" /></a></div>
your forum has a banner image code immediately after that logo code. you can change the link to image there
<div class="banner">banner-image-link-is-here</div>
I got as far as admin panel>>templates then couldn't find active theme templates. Sorry, your instructions are for someone who knows what they're doing. I'm a real novice. Thanks.

after templates I see manage template sets, add set, add template, search/replace, find updated templates. Since I'm replacing an existing template I went to find updated templates and really got lost. Is there a way I can preview what I'm choosing to edit? Can I find the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Association words somehow. I understand it's an image file. In properties is there a way to find the file?
^ oh, sorry. active theme is the theme which is active on your forum (eg. qws-grey)

Can I search for qws-grey?
^ log into your forum's admin panel and navigate to YOURforumURL/admin/index.php?module=style-templates
on the right side you can see available template sets. there you can see qws templates or qws-grey templates
(I guessed the theme name - not sure about the exact theme name used at present on your forum)
click on that templates set. it will expand - then click on Header Templates and then again on header
