How can I change the URL the logo points to.  I need it to point to the main website, not the forum site.

Thanks in advance.

In your case, I would recommend to edit the Template "header":
Replace the logo-variable {$theme['logo']} by the absolute path of the file of your main site.

You also can use a relative path instead like this: "../../mysite/logo.png" - depending on the location of your forum and the root page.

I guess, you are going to use your dedicated logo for both the main page and the forum. So, better use an absolute path to the dedicated logo file.

Thanks for the feedback.  I'm very new to mybb,

are you speaking of:

./install/resources/mybb_theme.xml

<a href="www.domain.com"><img src="{$theme['logo']}" alt="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" title="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" /></a>

It appears it's pointing where I want, but the url for the logo is pointing to: http://domain.com/forum/mybb/Upload/index.php

Thanks the only reference I can find to logo.png.

you can edit the template header in ACP --> Templates --> Choose your Style-Templatepack --> Category Header --> Header

search for this line or similar if you use not the MyBB-Default-Style

<a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/index.php"><img src="{$theme['logo']}" alt="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" title="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" /></a>

You see the a-tag points to index.php
Change to what you want it to link
