    1. Adding an image to a forum can be easily done through the Administrative Control Panel. You just need to browse the image you need to set for the header (which comes in top)

    2. If there is no such easy option, you will have to find a file named similar to overall_header.html
    a. Upload your image to somewhere in your web server
    b. Download and Open the overall_header.html like file and search for the current image filename.
    c. Replace the name with the one you just uploaded with relative path
    d. Upload the overall_header.html like file back to server

    1. Your original question was about adding an image. Did you find the solution for that?

    2. Meta tags
    Meta tags (title, description, etc...) must be dynamically generated for each topic as usual in popular forum software. However there can be software without dynamic meta tags. On such, you may find them on the main header template file. (In mine the name is overlay_header.html). I modified the forum to have dynamic meta tags. However the original file with static meta tags are as follows.

    
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{S_CONTENT_DIRECTION}" lang="{S_USER_LANG}" xml:lang="{S_USER_LANG}">
<head>

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset={S_CONTENT_ENCODING}" />
<meta http-equiv="content-style-type" content="text/css" />
<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="{S_USER_LANG}" />
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />
<meta name="resource-type" content="document" />
<meta name="distribution" content="global" />
<meta name="copyright" content="2000, 2002, 2005, 2007 phpBB Group" />
<meta name="keywords" content="" />
<meta name="description" content="" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
{META}
<title>{SITENAME} &bull; <!-- IF S_IN_MCP -->{L_MCP} &bull; <!-- ELSEIF S_IN_UCP -->{L_UCP} &bull; <!-- ENDIF -->{PAGE_TITLE}</title>
    PHP:
    Does that make any sense...lol
