Ok i need some help for my phpBB3 placing google ads

[rumrunner439]

ok Im not sure im in the right place but i want to add my logo to a few of my php forums sites and add my google ads and i have tried to start adding my google code but the only place i managed to get it was in the admin page.
And i want to replace the phpBB building communities with my logo but cant seem to find where it is to do that.
Any Help be great onlineadsnow.com is my site and bandsmack.net i need to make them look a lil better :0
thanks

your ad:
in styles/YOUR STYLE/template/overall_header.html
add your ad where you'dd like

the images:
in styles/YOUR STYLE/imageset
search for the logo of phpbb and replace it with your own logo.

after having uploaded this logo, refresh your style's templates and imageset.
hope this solves it all

Ok i got the logo figured out thanks But i still cant seem to place the google ads code in overall_header.html
i placed it in three or four different spots and nothing. And how do you make the site pull up the forums not the page that says your first forum? my site is OnlineAdsNow.com and BBBofEcommerce.com
thanks im just trying to get my google ads working and make the sites look better

Knowledge Base - Advertisements in phpBB3

Take particular note of the important notice half way down regarding Google ads. Due to the google terms and conditions, the ads should only go in the index_body.html, viewtopic_body.html and viewforum_body.html files. Do not put them in the overall_header or footer.

Wow i dont know why but no matter what i try it still not letting my google ads show up ???? i read the knowledge base and tried all of those ways and even the code one and placed my add inside of it and still nothing .What the heck am i doing wrong ? ! Im pretty happy i got the logo for my site up its kinda distorted lol but up now if i can just get my ads on there id be happy the site is www.BBBofEcommerce.com and www.OnlineAdsNow.com
Thanks for all the Help

You've removed the phpBB copyright from one of the boards. There's no support without it.

[rumrunner439]

Which one cuz i didnt do it on purpose lol i was trying to find out how to remove the logo I have no problems having the php copyright on my site all ive been trying to do is put my google ads and my logo which on one of my sites i noticed my logo came out all squishy
thanks for the help

[KevC]

The BBB one. It's not hard to spot. It's in the overall_footer.html

[rumrunner439]

And like I posted earlier, you should not put google ads in the header or footer files.

Ok i didnt touch that part of the site so reportscams is not part of the php copyright ? and i only had placed that code in this part of the site but it never worked . I can easily just type in phpBB where the ReportScams is no biggie i did notice it does go straight to phpbb.com though
