Adding in a banner to smf was pain.  This mod would likely be the esiest way to go- http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=351
The header and footer aren't global by default?! Looking at different pages for comparison, it appears that the header is always the same. It shouldn't be hard to locate the file wherein the current name text is being directed and replace it with the image.

So according to the discussion forums, I would suspect that there's an easy way to add the header through the control panel, similar to some variation of what is being discussed here: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=311936.0

I did download the installer to check out the file structure and believe my hypothesis from my previous post is true. The file you'd need to modify is default/index.template.php and the function is template_body_above ... and then the rest of my reply is constantly cut off despite showing up in the preview perfectly fine. Does this happen to anyone else?!?!?!??!? Talk about being frustrating!!!!

Marty I can email you the code that should be changed if you want to hand modify it since I can't seem to get it to show up in this post.

... A picture FWIW - not sure if it's actually large enough that most people will be able to easily read it.  :-\

So what do we plan on Doing about the Tie?

 Maybe a final round poll for the two that tied? That everyone has to vote for one or the other instead of spreading the votes out?

Having a tie breaker poll sounds good. I'd suggest letting the poll run 7 days instead of as long as the first one.

I don't think it is a lack of desire, but more of lack of know how and/or time.
I used to be a people person... but people ruined that for me.

It's not, which is why I stumble my way through when I'm doing new things.  I'm going to muddle through it, I just haven't had time to do so yet.  I'd like to find a time when I have a few hours to dedicate to it so when the inevitable problem pops up, I have time to fix it and get the site running properly.
