Hi,

I'm very new to MyBB and have limited experience creating/managing websites. I have installed the MyBB software to my web page and it is online with one of the free themes that is available.
I have a couple of questions, that after looking through the wiki and forum, are still unanswered. Firstly, how do I change the logo of the forum from 'Mybb' to one of my choice?
And secondly, how do i insert google adsense on the page?
I would appreciate an answer in the simplest terms possible.

Thanks
To change logo;

Go to http://yourdomain.com/admin/index.php?mo...&expand=27

Replace yourdomain with your own domain.

and find;

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

Change <img src="URL_OF_YOUR_LOGO"> to point your new logo.

To insert an ad, just open the above template, and insert the ad code at the bottom of all code of that template, but it is up to you, where you would like to display your ad.
@Yaldaram: There's no need to change your logo by editing templates.

@Jaymz: You can change your logo here:
ACP -> Templates and Styles -> *Template Name* -> Board Logo
Thanks for your feedback.
Kyuubi, i have tried changing it that way by inserting the url of the image but that does not change it. Do I need to put anything before/after the url?
The URL to your logo will likely be:
images/logoname.jpg

Just upload your own image to images directory and call it logo.gif (or .jpg)
