Thanks Bruce, thats what i thought, but I still want users to be able to add to the second topic!! Nightmare eh!?

k guys - me again! I have given a category to a moderator to look after. He has created two topics. Both of which he wants to pin. The first one is 'Welcome' which he wants to pin above the other, and keep it there. Problem is, the 'Welcome' topic is now closed, the other can still have replies. When someone replies it bumps the second pinned topic ABOVE the welcome topic. How can I make it so that the Welcome topic always appears above the second topic. I have tried altering the option in 'Forum Control' - 'Manage Forums' - then selecting 'Settings'. In here is the option to 'Sort key' or 'Sort Order' Which I changed, and managed to get it round the right way. However, this option also changes the reast of that forum. I.ee it no longer pushes 'last posts' to the top. Any ideas Thanks Mark Rock Sign

Got it sussed!!! All i had to do was go to 'System Settings' - 'General Config' and change 'Use Safe mode Skins' from 'No' to 'Yes' Was it really that hard!!! LOL

guys, please help I am still having trouble with this!! Its driving me nuts. I have read the FAQ, I dont know how to FTP, as i'm not sure what username and password to enter OR the address of the site. I am still getting the error message when I try to mod the html within 'Skins & Templates' - 'HTML Templates' - 'Manage HTML' then either selecting 'Global HTML Elements' or 'IP Dynamic lite'. What is this 'File Manager' in Cpanel you are talking about? I reckon if someone could help me with FTP I could do it. Thanks for all your help so far Mark Mad!!!

Bruce, thanks for the reply - thats the FAQ I looked at, but its not that clear! - means what in laymans terms!? If I right click my board logo, I can select properties, but I cant alter anything! Am I being dumb!>? Also, how do I change permissions via FTP? I have FTP software (Smat FTP), but I cant seem to log into to the board!? Even if i could I wouldnt be sure what to do! I'm a a bit of a Frontpage Fool!!! lol And!!!....................just to edit my post further - How do I log into the board via FTP? I've tried my board username and password, but its not happening!

Hi guys - New to all this Invision stuff, but it does seem really easy to use - obviously so easy that I'm totally stuck. I want to change the blue (Invision) logo for my own, I've been to HTML Templates within Skins & templates, dug out the Board Header HTML within Global Elements, and even found the (img src)logo4.gif, but I am unsure what to do next. If I enter my own logo link, then go 'update templates' I get an error message saying "Cannot write into './Skin/s1/skin_global.php', please check the CHMOD value, and if needed, CHMOD to 0777 via FTP. IBF cannot do this for you" What does this mean - how do I FTP? I read a FAQ on this site that says you right click on the logo, select properties and then replace this with your img link, but when you right click on the logo, you cannot change the properties? Anybody like to throw some tips in the direction of this neeeeewwwwwbie??? Appreciated Mark Rock Sign
