Backgrounds, Avatars, Forum name and Admin control

Hi

Please post your forum's url.

Firstly, you need to find the access to your admin panel. I've circled where your admin panel button should show, near the top, like this:



Clicking the help button, will bring up this useful guide on how to get started with your new forum:

help.proboards.com/

This is very useful, too. It explains well, about the colours.:

smangii.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=pbskinguide&action=display&thread=30812

*For your avatar:

Click on Profile then into Modify profile. Scroll down to Personal Information. There, you'll see the avatar options. Once you've opted for one, it'll show automatically. It will only be hidden from members who have opted to block avatar images.

In your admin panel, on the same page where you edited the background color, there is a box to put the URL of the background image you would like to use.

You should put the image in along with the colors for the skin. Are you using the modify skin link, or the new skin link?

If you want to create a completely new skin, you will need to fill in all the colors listed. If you want to add the background image to an existing skin, use the modify skin link instead.

The values that are currently in the skin will be loaded, so you can leave them alone if you do not want to change them.

You are still trying to add the background image? If so, yes, put the URL in the background URL box.

Glad it is working!

As for future questions, feel free to create a new thread here in support and one of the many members or ProBoards staff will probably be able to help you.
