Is it possible to make some innocent surgical changes to FUDforum's appearance? Things like uploading a banner or a PNG at the top of the page. All I can see are discussion about changing the color.

If not, what about running it in an iframe? Does that create any problems?

Yes it is possible by editing the header.tmpl for your theme in fact you are only limited by your knowledge of html etc.

Of course its not just that simple. Once you have created a "New Template Set:" for your forum, edit your header.tmpl as desired then "create your theme" otherwise every time you rebuild your theme it will over write your changes including those for your header.

We discussed it briefly here: http://fudforum.org/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=118576&start=0&

It all depends on your knowledge and how innocent you want the changes to be. The example I am currently using as the default in the test forum is a single image and was accomplished by adding:

</head>
<body><!comment--insert header image code -->
<div align="center"><img src="/theme/concord_default_tst1/images/tsthdr2.jpg"></div>

into the header.tmpl using the Admins template editor AND THEN creating the new theme "concord_default_tst1" using the theme manager.

On the other hand for http://thewitcher.us/ I used naudef's northern lights experimental theme http://fudforum.org/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=118490&start=0&

By uploading the theme to .../thm/northernlights

Added a favicon by inserting

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" >
<link rel="icon" type="image/gif" href="animated_favicon1.gif" >

Into the header, added a single javascript mouse over image link as well as some table links to other sites.

I also uploaded the images needed, and changed some of the other images BEFORE creating the new theme "northernlights_default" using the theme manager and making it the default theme.

You can see how it was done by right clicking and selecting "view page source"

Bottom line is there is any number of ways to do make changes to FUDforum's appearance, I believe I have some notes around here somewhere on inserting Images into other areas of the forum as well.
