How to embed header to my forum

    I have a new forum and need to embed a header for it but I don't really know how to do it. Can anyone tell me how? Do I need to use Dreamweaver? FYI, I use phpBB 3.0.

    Never use iframes or frames. You can do it all from your template file

    Sure. The easiest manner without any HTML editing:

    - right click on the default logo image that appears on the forum and click on "view image"
    - use FTP to navigate to the web folder where this default logo is stored.
    - change with whatever logo you want as long as you keep the same filename.

    This is the simplest manner.

    :)

    Then open a new topic as your problem is different than the one asked by the topic author here.

    :)

    You need to first change the logo, then go to nav in templates and change the require links (or add when you want ) also you can change the images by modifying the image links or upload the images on your server and give those link in it.

    Thanks all! I already did what I have to do but sometimes the logo won't come out due to hosting server problem. It maybe a usual problem when you use free webhosting before you can afford a good paid one ;)
