I did what it says and it still doesn't work, why is there no clear explanation, everyone is saying do different things.... untick this, tick that...put them in this folder, no wait put them in this folder...

i have never known putting logo in the my documents folder, i've tried everything and it doesn't work!

someone needs to explain...

Put them in, my computer, c:drive, program files, sports interactive, data, graphics, pictures, anywhere in there.

Open the game, go into preferences, un tick the skin cache option and tick the always reload on confirm, then click confirm, they should show then.

NO! Do not put logos or any user added content into the program files folder. (patching/reinstalling the game will wipe your new stuff, also if you make a mistake you may overwrite important files the game needs, meaning you'll need to reinstall the game)

ALL user added content should now be put into the User Data folder, by default this is located at:

\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2007\

(Or whereever you have moved the User Data folder to if you have moved it).

You'll then need to create some subfolders (if the content you downloaded doesn't it for you), first create a graphics folder inside the above folder. Then create a pictures folder inside the graphics folder, next create a logos folder inside the pictures folder for your logos (or kits or faces for kit and faces, for anything else follow the structure from the CProgram Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2007\ folders, but install the content into the My Documents folders).

Now you have your logos folder, unzip/extract the logos you have downloaded and transfer the folders into the logos folder. (As long as the logos are inside the logos folder it doesn't matter what their folders are called - just generally organise so you can find stuff).

Also make sure you transfer over the config files with the graphics, the game needs the config.xml files to display the logos. (You can delete any previews, thumb.db or readme files if you don't want them).

Now when you load up the game you need to go to the Preferences -> Display and sound menu and untick use skin cache and tick the 'Always reload skin on confirm' option.

Now click on confirm/OK, you should get a dialog box telling you that the game is reloading the graphics, wait a while and once it has finished your logos should be working.

If the logos are showing and you are not adding any more graphics then you can turn the skin cache back on and untick always reload skin on confirm.

oops always forget to say my documents for people who don't know how graphics in fm works, i like everything to be neat and tidy, either way my documents or my computer both work fine, as for adding patches not making the graphics show, some seem to be having problems with that, mine work fine.
