banner not changing

[[renz]]

i'm using a skin template so i'm not sure if because of that i have to go through an extra step to change my banner, but at the moment i just did what i've always done (on v5) to change the banner and it didn't work. i searched through other settings but couldn't find anywhere else to change it. any clue as to why it isn't letting me change my banner? or could someone just tell me where to go to change the banner (the steps to do so) so i can see if maybe i somehow did something different. i don't know how that could be though as i've changed my banner on my other two sites this way but who knows. its been a few months so maybe i'm forgetting something?

Hi [renz],

Can we have a link to the site you have this on? Also which theme template might help as well. One never knows what people do when they create a themes.

[[renz]]

i'm not using one from the library hah. i'm using one someone had on another site that could be used as a skeleton. i've seen many, many other sites where people used the same theme and their banners are all their own

here

just telling me where to go to upload the banner works too haha like i said i just wanna make sure i'm even putting it in the right place. its been a while so for all i know i'm the one who's wrong. i just can't see that being it because i don't get where else i'd put it hahaha

[[renz]]

oh nope. another post haha

i found the many places to adjust the colors except for one thing - where it says "0 threads" and "0 posts" (well now since this one isn't open yet hah) but yeah, where the post and thread count would appear. i opened everything, or at least i think i did. there is so many different things to click and open so maybe i missed something but i looked it over a few times so not sure if that part will be in yet another separate location just to change the colors to the skin. i wouldn't be surprised considering how things are set up now but the places i have gone are the only ones i know about at the moment so i'm sure there's many, many more so not sure where that would be located. it would be anywhere i know o.O
andiaskedsomanysiteswhytheyclosedandswitchedtoiforjcinkwtfdurrr! haha

ah. of course. it's in the coding now haha that should be an obvious with v5 shouldn't it? haha that's a rhetorical question by the way (never ceases to amaze me how many people always answer those types of questions when i post them so i thought this time i'd save people the energy because i don't actually read the answer haha - rhetorical questions aren't meant to be answered, in case you don't know but now you do!)

Okay banner - I'm taking a look as much as possible, and I'm going to -guess- that you *Should* be able to change it by going to the theme manager area, images, and either changing the forum logo or scrolling to the bottom and looking for a custom image file that looks like the banner.

*disclaimer* I am not knowledgeable of this particular skin I am just stating the general location of where you would find it

Also: Just noting that we answer rhetorical questions because they don't read as rhetorical questions. The internet has no sense of tone which gives it away

Edit: I took a better look, it appears its in your forum wrapper - you're looking for the td with the id of main

(<td id="main" vAlign="top">)
and this line in particular:

<img src="http://i.imgur.com/34acRK0.png">
controls the banner. To replace it you would need to upload to a photo host (Something like photobucket, or imgur etc) and put the link where currently it has i.imgur.com/34acRKO.png

Hey [renz],

For future reference, if you have something to add, modify your post. Adding more info in new posts, before someone responds to you, is considered bumping and we have 24 hour bumping rule. Thanks much.

Boy_Wonder there are a lot of questions that are just so blatantly rhetorical tho. i understand better than most that you can't judge someone's "tone" by typing, as most people think i'm being a bitch when i'm actually being really nice but i'm just super blunt and don't add in a bunch of cheesy smilies and stuff like that haha. but there are definitely times it's like "if you can't tell that's sarcasm you need help". those are the situations i'm referring to haha

anyways! i know how to find the pictures url but thanks (;
i'm actually decent with codes and very good with computers haha. this post is just because when i did as i was supposed to/as i've done the other times before nothing changed


i had a feeling it be somewhere mixed into a code. it wouldn't be pbv5 if it weren't! if it was once simple, it needs to be complex and all over the place now haha can't have just one spot to do something. that be silly (totally sarcasm by the way! you have to admit that one was kind of obvious. unless i just think that because i'm the one writing it o.O)

something totally different (kind of i guess)
i know there's several places i have to go just to change the colors to the skin, but i've looked in many different places and still can't find one thing. the only thing that needs to be changed and then i'll be done (with that end of things at least). there's probably yet another place i have to go in order to change this one thing's color but i haven't been able to find it. it's the section where it reads how many posts or threads are in a board (the only blue section left on the forum in case you aren't 100% what i mean) - and i don't mean the info center at the bottom by the way. i mean the "reader" to the sides of the boards, down the length of boards and categories.. if that helps hah

[Boy_Wonder]

In layout templates - boards, boards list (or whatever its called ((Sorry I'm really bad at remembering) you're looking for the one with 'td class="threads"'

After it there will be some style stuff, the #code ((currently: #4e8f90)) will need to be changed to whatever hexdecimal colour you're after

[[renz]]

haha no worries. i appreciate the help d:

i tried to clt f that code and for some reason it wouldn't pop up. it was weird. i had to find all the blues on my own which was a total pain, cause i took a print screen shot and found the color from photoshop. some showed and some didn't. i even searched the word threads but couldn't find any color codes like that near the word threads. very odd. anyways thanks again, going to try and find it yet again now

[Boy_Wonder]

Are you certain you've gone to 'board' and then clicked on board list tab? As that's where I -believe- it will be

[[renz]]

Boy_Wonder i'm about to kill somebody -_-
i use clt f to find 4e8f90 and it works. but as soon as i click out of the clt f search box and click on "4e8f90" to change it to "a37acc" it disappears. then when i try to use clt f to find 4e8f90 again it says there is absolutely none. zip. zero. i have to refresh in order to find 4e8f90 again using clt f... i even tried finding threads near it using clt f and searching the word thread and it finds that word but none with 4e8f90 near it what so ever. i don't get it...

great and now even when i refresh it won't find it. i am sooo kicking myself for not switching like everyone else before i started this. there is no way i can build another site and learn new coding style by feb 1st -tries to kick self- i don't even know if i can finish this by feb 1st anyways with how unuser friendly everything has become

-sighs-

any reason you can think of why i can't even find 4e8f90 or why i can't click on it when i do find it?

[Boy_Wonder]

How odd - have you tried ( and this is the 'slow' way) using ctrl + a, opening notepad, pasting it in there, and then doing a find and replace for 4e8f90 and changing it to a37acc and then ctrl + a the changed in notepad to bring it back into your board

[[renz]]

i'll try that now. ugh i hope that works. i'm soo at the point of giving up on pb -bangs head on desk- i shall let you know! i don't see any reason why that wouldn't work tho so great idea! hopefully haha

[[renz]]

-squeezes- that worked! thank you very very much. for now i'm going to continue to suck it up and remain with pb to save me the hassle of learning a different forum style because of you! haha thanks again d:
