    phpBB is both PHP and HTML. Im not familar with its organisation strcuture so I really couldnt tell you what to edit and where.

    Id consider asking the phpBB Support forum, or looking for a mod that does what you require?

    I'm pretty sure phpbb uses the Smarty lib to integrate it's html with php, so there are templates in one of the folders, you just need to look for the template pertaining to the page you wish to edit, and add in your code.

    EDIT: Downloaded phpBB3 there to have a look. Indeed, you need to browse to styles/your_stye(prosilver is the default I think)/template and edit whichever file is relevant to where you want your code to appear.

    You'll probably need to make some css edits too.

    No, don't look for these files, they don't exist.

    Now I'm all for people lending help and opinions but did you both miss the part where I said I downloaded a copy of phpbb there and then to help the OP out??

    OP, just do as I suggested initially.
