I have found a logo.gif image in the images folder but in the class edit section for top_area it shows \
\
\
/auctionlogo.jpg \
\
And in no file can I locate a auctionlogo.jpg image ???\
\
Also one other question for now where do I edit where the contact us form is sent to and where does it go to by default ???
This is html code you can name your images whatevere you want and use it in the classes or templates, the default logo is logo.gif you put in the auctions/images folder.
The contact us goes to the email you set in admin->Configuration.
