Forum banner size

[Seanybhoy]

Our forum went over to v5 today but our forum banner was lost. I have tried putting it back on but the size is not right. Any hints or tips about what size it should be?

Sorry just read the stickies thread.

Hi,

I don't currently see a banner on your forum at the moment. Would you mind putting it up so I can see what it looks like?

I have just put a banner on Ricky. Can you take a look as it is slightly out.

Thanks. I took a look now and it appears to be well placed to me, when compared to the full size image. I'm viewing the forum with Google Chrome though. Would you be able to provide a screenshot of how it's viewed for you?

I hope this works. Ricky it is, to me, slightly off at the left and the bottom.

Thanks for the clarification, I was looking at the wrong theme by the looks of it. Give the following a try and this should take care of it:

In your admin panel, navigate to Themes > Theme Manager. Once there, for the "Forum Title" select the "Do Not Display a Title" option from the drop-down menu then save the changes.

Once that's done, click the "Images" tab and then click the "Link" button under the Logo that you uploaded, then copy the URL provided to you.

Once you have the URL of the banner copied, in the admin panel navigate to Themes > Colors & Styles. Next using the visual editor, navigate to Forum > Header (Top) > Forum Banner > Banner Image. Once there, paste in the URL into the "Background Image" and then adjust the background position there. Save the changes, and the banner should look correct at the top of the forum

Ricky...thanks mate. I'm unsure where you are but I'm in Glasgow and its late on a Friday night and I made a wee bit of that out.

I will do as you say when I get up in the morning.....cheers mate.

If you're speaking about here on the Support forum, it sounds like you're logging into your global account here but currently you don't have a support forum account linked up to your global account to post with, so guest is the only other option available. If you had a support account already from when this forum ran v4, you can click the button from the bar in the lower-right hand corner of the screen here on the support forum. Then on the "Select Account" page, click the link for "Link another forum account" and from there type in your old username and password of your account here on support to have it linked.

Otherwise if you've never had an account here on the support forum before, on the Select Account page click the "Create a new account on this forum" link instead to create a new forum account to post with
