Banner Size changing

When i make a banner, which i do so by creating a jpeg image, then uploading it into the banner part on my admin board.

It looks to fit perfectly, and around the edge of the banner i have a blue line the same width right around.

Now when people go onto my site with a bigger screen, they have a big blue gap to the right hand side of it.

Firstly, can i centre the banner? so its always in the middle.

Secondly, can i change the blue colour behind it, to say black.... so that my black banner would blend in. i go into colours and change "Header background colour" but the top half of it remains blue????


Thanks, Craig

My site, if it helps to see it

and how i see it.....

i want the banner to look how it does for me, for people with a bigger screen, so can it be made so it will resize itself, or if i can change that blue for black, i can swap the picture to the left hand side and it wont make a differance, this being the best fix!

But as i said, i can only get half of it to change black.

You most likely have a personal CSS and it is interfering with your options to change colors. Give me a copy of your CSS, I'll see if I can find the code that needs changing.

ok, i set the forum up yesterday, it being my first. Run over how i get it you please

think i found it but its too long to post here?

Why don't you post this in the Graphics Request section? I mean the background of the Banner

About the banner placed. Try this.

Admin Panel => Display => Headers and Navigation => Logo Positioning (Center) => Save

Hope that I help out.

PS before the staffs tell you:

Okay, paste it in between the BB code tags "[code][/code*]", just remove the *.

No, I don't. Anyway, what do you mean it's too big? I don't think there's a character limit on this website.

think iv emailed it to you.

it just says message too big to post or somthing like that

"The posted message is too big."

Is there a way to get rid off it all so as its purly just the banner picture i put up there??

Wow, you're right, it is too big.

Anyway, I think I fixed your color problem. I'll email you your new CSS.

what do i do with it ?

Paste it over the old CSS...

when i click see your forum basic css, it opens it into notpad, sorta downloads it to my opc, how do i paste it over it? well not paste, but save it...

i just pasted it into the box and clicked subit, said it was successfull, but i still see blue... lol

Okay, is there anything in the text box below the link to the basic forum CSS?

no, it was emptie, untill i just pasted it in.

craigb wrote:no, it was emptie, untill i just pasted it in.

Okay, then disable the basic forum CSS.

done, and still blue?

craigb wrote:done, and still blue?

Okay, I think I found the problem, that's an image. I'll email you another CSS, and if that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you.

Well, i have absolutly no idea, never even heard of css before today haha.

Woooooo, you the man!! haha. Fixed it....

As i said before, is there a way to compleatly remove the background so that all thats there is the image i put?

Also, if i turn basic css back on, so i can use it (no idea what im doing with CSS code) it wont ruin it will it?

nvm, i answered that myself, yes turning it back on does bring the blue back! haha....

as said, can you remove it completly, even the black?
