it Depends what your forum software is
if it is phpBB then its overall_header.tpl in the templates folder or overall_footer.tpl in the templates folder
im not sure about IPB/Vbulletin etc

in cpanel, you have a filemanager, try locating the files through it ;)

do you know any html? you should learn that. then you will be able to find that out with just a glance on the code.

You need to go to the support forum for the forum that you are running and ask there.

I doubt that anyone is going to walk you through this step by step as it is different for every forum.

I understand that you are new and frustrated but like someone said you first need to learn the basics of html then you will be able to help yourself in the future.

if you're going to own a website, it will help to actually know something about coding it as a previous user said. he wasn't being rude. he was trying to help. this board isn't for rude users like how you acted.
