Editing Theme Images

[johnald126]

Hi all-

I'm new to this so I apologize if I'm asking an obvious question. 

I'm trying to replace two images (the banner ones) in the "Something Dark" theme for my forum. I go to Images and scroll to the bottom to the "Custom Theme Images". I see "Banner_Left" and "Banner_Right" and click on Upload to put in the new images I want to replace them with.

However, every time I upload (or link) the images don't change on the forum. The thumbnails are the new images but the real image on the forum remains the same. I assume I must be doing something wrong, but can't figure it out!

All help is very appreciated!

I'll go ahead and tag that theme's author for you.

johnald126, Tim Camara, the reason because that happens is obviously due to PB leaving the URL there.
It replaces the uploaded images with new urls, however, it does not do that forum wide. It only does it in the theme images section. So, you have to manually go edit them in the places they are active.

This is not due to anything I have done, it's PB's end. Custom images, unfortunately, do not work the same as pre-set ones, such as the banner, background, smileys etc.

This is very simple, especially if you're simply trying to replace them with new ones.
Go to Admin > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet
Go down to lines 84 - 87 and you will see:

@body_background_attachment: scroll, scroll, scroll;
@body_background_image: url('http://storage.proboards.com/5217496/i/MFJJrgmOJ10l6N8W4rdj.png'), url('http://storage.proboards.com/5217496/i/bcxJpDqb36hdj9ZXjlV6.png'), url('http://storage.proboards.com/5217496/i/Ir6_2JKtnlSIQMJ45yXB.png');
@body_background_repeat: no-repeat, no-repeat, repeat-x;
@body_background_position: left top, right top, center top;
On line 85, where you see above, it has 3 different URLs. They are: Banner Left, Banner Right, Background/Middle Banner.
In that order. So, with you wanting to replace the two side ones, all you need to do, is replace the first 2 image URLs above
