Hi

Just installed mybb at http://thebeveree.co.uk/ and you will the forum name "TheBeveree" is in a white space between top nav bat and the main layout. Any ideas how to remove?

Exactly what do you want to remove? The white space between the navigation and the category?
basically, I want to remove "theBeveree" in black. This then should reduce the gap as the title wont be there. It kinda seems out of place.
1. Go to Admin CP > Templates & Style > Templates > Your Template Set > Header Templates > header.

2. Find and remove:

<navigation>
New to MyBB; just installed a new theme (swirly_blue) at this address with the first test logo; my problem seems to be similar to that of slewis1972: I want to remove the word "Forums" which appears in white letters floating above my flaming test logo.

I tried the solution offered by faviouz but without success, and have extensively researched the forum for a solution, I may be too new to MyBB to recognize the solution. Help please.
That is a different thing. slewis1972 was asking how to get rid of the navigation bit.

1. Go to Admin CP > Templates & Style > Templates > Your Template Set > Header Templates > header.

2. Post the contents of the template here.
Thanks for your quick reply faviouz.

I think I may have stumbled on to a solution which turned out to be something very simple (I hope).

I went to Admin CP/Configuration/General Configuration/Board Name and deleted the word "Forum".

Now my new logo appears without any overlay, at least for now.

In any case (just in case I may have muxxored the board with my simple fix) here is the information that you requested:

<div id="container">
<a name="top" id="top"></a>
<div id="header">
<div class="logo"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/index.php"><img src="{$theme['logo']}" alt="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" title="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" /></a></div>
<div id="mynav">{$mybb->settings['bbname']}</div>
&nbsp;<div class="menu">
<ul>
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/search.php"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/search.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_search}</a></li>
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/memberlist.php"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/memberlist.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_memberlist}</a></li>
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/calendar.php"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/calendar.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_calendar}</a></li>
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=help"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/help.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_help}</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<hr class="hidden" />
<div id="panel">
{$welcomeblock}
</div>
</div>
<hr class="hidden" />
<br class="clear" />
<div id="content">
{$pm_notice}
{$bannedwarning}
{$bbclosedwarning}
{$unreadreports}
{$pending_joinrequests}
<navigation>
<br />

Not being a coder, and with little experience in this area I have little idea what this all means.

Perhaps what I should have asked is how do I move the word Forums to the left side, flush with the page.

Thanks again for your help.
You should put Forum back in the Board Name. This is used in many areas of the forum, including emails that are sent to users. Afterwards, replace the header template with this:

<div id="container">
<a name="top" id="top"></a>
<div id="header">
<div class="logo"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/index.php"><img src="{$theme['logo']}" alt="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" title="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" /></a></div>
&nbsp;<div class="menu">
<ul>
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/search.php"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/search.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_search}</a></li>
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/memberlist.php"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/memberlist.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_memberlist}</a></li>
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/calendar.php"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/calendar.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_calendar}</a></li>
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=help"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/help.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_help}</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<hr class="hidden" />
<div id="panel">
{$welcomeblock}
</div>
</div>
<hr class="hidden" />
<br class="clear" />
<div id="content">
{$pm_notice}
{$bannedwarning}
{$bbclosedwarning}
{$unreadreports}
{$pending_joinrequests}
<navigation>
<br />
Thanks faviouz, your code worked worked perfectly.
