Banner Problem Empty Banner Problem

Post by Outsider February 19th 2008, 3:45 pm

I'm having trouble with my banner. I added my own banner to my forum, but there is a border of 'theme' around it, which I don't want. Is there any way to get rid of this? I've tried editing all the colours in the Styles section, but none of these do what i want...

I would also mlike to know how to get it to display the topic name, as well as the username and time of last post. You know, on the homepage next to each forum there is a last post bit on the right? Well that's where I mean...

Hi Outsider . . .

I wonder if this will help - I've resized your banner for you. See if this works. If it needs tweeked, let me know:

Click on it and it wil give you the full size. Try it, and if it works, host it yourself.

Hope it works . . . Bpoetic

If you *left* click on the tiny pic above - you will be taken to the host, Imageshack, where the full sized version is waiting for you. There will be URL links listed under the pic for you to use in your header. You want to choose *Direct*

Try that . . . Very good

hm... you could try to put that code below in your custom css field (in "Styles / Pics and Colors / Colors / CSS")

.headerbar {
background-image: url('https://2img.net/i/fa/empty.gif');
}

this wouldnt solve the entire problem, but at least you can display a plain color now. later i will test if something other works to get rid of the border at all! Very Happy

@Bpoetic: I'm not sure, but i think the header background automatically increases when the banner increases as well. so it will probably always wrap around the banner, independent of the size. I might be wrong though, but i think i can briefly remember a similar thread...

So Sunny . . . would it look like this, using the *direct link* to the full sized graphic:

.headerbar {
background-image: url(https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img117/6554/banner2go7.png);
}

Sorry Outsider . . . I'm trying to understand this too!

HOLD on, Outsider . . . Sunny is the expert with CSS! I Won't try to explain . . .

I do have something else you could try until Sunny gets back:

Styles > List of Pictures > Header’s background image . . . scroll to the right and see on: Upload a picture. I have done that and it works. *SAVE the url that is there now, encase you need to change back. Sorry about all this!
