I love SMF, so far so good.<br /><br />The question I have is this. Is there any way to turn off that notice that lets you know someone has replied while you posted? I know most people don't care to preview their posts first.<br /><br />Any way to turn the notice off? I can't find how if there is.<!--content-->
Hello,<br /><br />I don't think there is but next time I am at a SMF forum, I will take a look<br /><br />JimE<!--content-->

Nice one Don!<br /><br />JimE<!--content-->
Thanks Don. It was staring me right in the face and I still didn't see it.<br /><br />I got a dumb question, but I'm going to post it anyway's. Any way to stay in the topic after they post? As it is right now, after they hit post, they're sent back to the list of topics, instead of staying right inside the one they posted in.<!--content-->
Hi Betty,<br /><br />Click on 'Profile' at the top of the SMF forum. Then click on 'Look and Layout Preferences' - now look at the list under Time Offset - make sure the box 'Return to topics after posting by default' is ticked.<br /><br />This seems to work for me - the 'Return to this topic' under Additional Options always seems to be ticked. <br /><br />Hope this is helpful. <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much Gail.<br /><br />I appreciate it. And I never thought to check under the profile. I was going into the Admin panel.<!--content-->
Hi Betty,<br /><br />Glad I could be of help.<br /><br />You may have already seen this but here is a link to the <a href="http://docs.simplemachines.org/" target="_blank">Online Manual for SMF</a> which you may also find helpful. <br /><br />Gail<!--content-->
I just went through it, thanks.<br /><br />The only thing I can't find is how to put a Board banner or logo up at the top to make the board more attractive.<!--content-->
That will involve editing the theme. You'll have to upload the image you want to use and change the code in the theme that points to that image. Not sure if there is a tutorial on that; you may want to check over at the SMF support forums at <a href="http://www.simplemachines.org/community/" target="_blank">http://www.simplemachines.org/community/</a><!--content-->
On your computer<br />go into the folder where you unzipped the smf install file<br />look in the folder <b> themes/default</b> (or which ever theme you are using)<br />and edit <b>index.template.php</b><br />search for <b>the logo</b><br />you will need to edit that area.<!--content-->
