I am very much a newbie to this kind of stuff, I've got 2 main questions:

How do you change the logo at top? (another topic answer was to go to the images folder and change the YAFlogo to my own, but where do I find the images folder?)

How do I change my screen name/user name?

Thanks in advance for any help....

1. You just find the images folder, there's no other way to say it and nothing more to explain.

2. You'll have to elaborate on what you mean by 'how do I change my username'?

When I post fp:mddubs in a topic, I'm leaving my footprint there so I can track it once I get into coding/supporting. (Yes I stole this off Mek 🙂, who stole this off Ederon 🙂 )

1. Okay that doesn't help at all... Is there a link I have to click to find the images folder from the Admin page? Host Settings? Do I go through my GoDaddy account? I clicked on every link there is and can't find any reference to an images folder.

Do I have to change my editor to be text editor or something else(right now it's BBCode Editor)?

2. When I've used other forums, it lets me change my username to something different than my log in name. What I put in as my login name when I configured the forum is showing up as my screen name, and it's not giving me the option to change it.

Thanks!

1. The images folder is in the file system of the application. If you're using GoDaddy, they have an online FTP tool you can use. Otherwise, just use a regular FTP client like FileZilla.

2. Nope, your username is your username. You can go ahead and specify your real name or something else in your profile.
