    I know this question has probably been answered but I want to create a text box with a few paragraphs on the top section of the opening page of my forum. Is there a simple way of doing this in phpBB3? I am VERY new to forums so please forgive my ignorance.

    Regards,

    Thanks everyone! A quick question would now be is there any way I can use a text box with a verticle slider there?

    my forum is at emotecontrol.american-forum.net Also, I would like to make my banner at the top of the page bigger but I could not find it in the CSS. Any quick advice?

    regards, nosty

    Just add the following code in your css. Adjust the max-height to your need if you wish.
    Code:
    .mes-txt {
        max-height: 300px;
        overflow-y: scroll;
    }

    The bigger your image is, the bigger will be the banner. Just use a bigger image.
    If you want to adjust the current image, it will be resized but the quality of the image will degrade.
    Use this code for resizing
    Code:
    #logo img {
        width: 1100px;
    }
