Trying this for my community, and so far it looks pretty good. I'd like to get rid of the MyBB icon and logo in the header and show the name of the community. The code in Editing Template Header looks interesting:
<div id="header">
<div id="logo">
<div class="wrapper">
<a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/index.php"><img src="{$theme['logo']}" alt="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" title="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" /></a>
but I have no idea how to get a new icon or image into that anchor code. I don't see anywhere where I can upload new images (a library?) but it seems like there is one. Is this a limitation of the free icyboard implementation or did I just not find the setting? Any help appreciated.

Where you have
<img src="{$theme['logo']}"
Change it to
<img src="www.imagelocation.com/image.png"
You'll have to host the image somewhere else. Change the board name in the settings in the acp.
IcyBoards provides ftp access directly to the images folder.
required images can be uploaded directly to root folder of ftp.
IcyBoards ftp access login credentials are provided through forum admin panel.
in general, we do not modify header template code to add / change logo image.
instead we use board logo setting available at the theme properties.
forum admin panel >> themes >> [your theme] >> scroll down for edit theme properties >> board logo
[value eg. images/mylogo.png
i.e. mylogo.png named image is located at images folder of files server (root folder of IcyBoards ftp access) ]
Thanks, I'll try the image. But the board name doesn't seem to affect the big MyBB at the top of the page; the board name shows up under the big banner.[
attachment=39822] Is there some way to change the big MyBB? I'm trying to get the board of directors to approve having a forum and it's not an easy sell, but I know they'll be asking about that.
^ you have to change the
logo image (which is the main purpose of this thread)

Oh, I see, that's all a logo. Which brings up the question of how I access the folders on Icyboards, and I see that I need to enable FTP access in the admin panel, get the 1 hour password, and use Filezilla. It resolves icyboards.net but fails to connect to the server. Times out after 20 seconds. ib_ the subdomain should be the username. Nope.
It's late, and I'm going to sleep. I'll try again tomorrow.

Make sure you are following the instructions here:

Since it's Icyboards I guess for support you could ask on their forum because there are some things you can't do for example upload your own plugins etc..
https://forums.icyboards.net/
They provide support with anything.
