I went home yesterday and made sure that I created every item in the list provided by Afo in previous postings.

To no avail.
I placed my IU_logo.gif in various image folders on the admin level, and on the template level, but nothing.

The only thing that would change the situation so that my logo IU_logo.gif would be displayed in the header was placing this gif in the
includes/templates/template_default/images folder.

You see, it looks for the right GIF, but in the wrong folder. I suspect that there is something missing or out of place, an extra copy of header.php or tpl_header.php maybe where it doesn't belong. I just can't find the problem.

I checked a view source, and all of my custom CSS files are picked up in the head. Any CSS change I make is picked up (such as background images, colors, etc...). The imagehover.js from the IH2 install was being picked up from the javascript folder in the template_default directory, so I made a copy of the javascript folder in my custom folder and copied over the js. This made it so that the script is now bing picked up from my custom template folder instead. Nothing from template_default.

Why does it insist on looking for the HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE in the template default directory? Why, why, why?

Something is missing the override. Please don't ask me if I changed the current template in admin, obvioulsy the answer is yes.

Someone must be able to identify what to look for. Any one?
