You can add a theme a couple of ways. In admin > themes > theme manager, there's a button that says "Create / Import Theme". If you click this, You'll be able to select whether or not you want to create a new theme (using the default ProBoards theme as a base), if you want to upload a Theme (.pbt) file, copy an existing theme, or if you want to select a theme from the PB Theme Library.

Once you've decided which route to take and you've created or imported the new theme, go back to admin > themes > theme manager. You should see that one of the themes has the word "Default" next to it. Hover over the theme you wish to make default. A button should appear that says "Make Default". Click this.

Then once that's clicked, disable the previous theme by unchecking the tickbox on the left.

I think that if you re-enable the old theme at this point you should be able to have it available if you want people to have choices, without reverting people back to their old settings, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

It depends. First, provide a link to your forum. If you have Maintenance Mode or "Guests Must Log In" enabled, please disable it temporarily.

Then, please describe how are you attempting to change the "picture at the top of the page".

So I like the mt dew theme, but I didn’t want the banner on so I wanted to take it off and replace it. When I replaced it with another pic. The original banner still shows. I went as far as to delete all of the pics that look remotely close to the banner, but it hasn’t changed

Can you check admin > themes > advanced styles & css

and see if the image is still in the logo section?

[Iskander]

The logo section? Is that the pic of the forum? Or is it an option above the preview pic? I can see it on the pic at the bottom of the advanced and css page

So in the advanced styles and CSS tab you should see the logo section. I've marked the place in a red box below.

Check here and see if there is an image uploaded. If there is, upload the image you want to use here instead to replace it.

So far I think I got it thanks for the help

[Kami]

Good to hear! Glad I was able to help, don't hesitate to make a new thread if you have another question. (:

[Iskander]

actually, the pic I uploaded cuts off the text on the pic how do I get it back?

[Kami]

It looks like you need to change the height of the banner area.

[Iskander]

once again thanks! I am done asking questions for now

Hey this is probably a dumb question lol but on the home page in the boards where it shows the moderators in charge of each thread how do I make the name of the moderators smaller and also instead of their names for it to show the groups they belong to.
