The buttons are fine where they are. Is there any way to make the Create Thread button the same as the buttons under the banner? The category titles are all centered, too. I am trying to put in my favicon following these directions: "Go to Admin - Themes - Layout templates Click Forum Wrapper" I do not see Forum Wrapper. If I click save and continue on the layout will I mess anything up? Your post was not too long. I appreciate the info.

Alright, I made a few concessions because v5 is slightly different than v4, but if there is something that you don't like we can change it. Let me know what you think! That is GREAT! I can breathe again! I've been holding my breath with worry over this. How much time to I have before the automatic upgrade? If I add applications will they be transferred with the theme as well? Is this theme now titled the "Default theme"? Thanks again!

How awesome of you to do that. Thanks! When the working board is upgraded will your steps be easy for me to to follow? There is a transparent frame around the board that makes it look not so stark, how do I do that? And I am going to have to find a code for the buttons? I am mostly interested in the appearance for now. I can nip and tuck the features once I have the place looking the same as before. Thank you so much for your help! I can help with the transparent frame and the buttons, don't worry about that! After all the visual modifications are done, when your forum actually converts all you'll have to do is export the theme from this test board to your computer, and then import that theme to your new forum. No setup or copying required. Edit: Are you happy with the forum width as it is? I can make it larger to more closely mimic the old one. Is it possible to center the buttons under the banner and change the color of the bar they are on? Can all the category titles be centered? Yes, I would prefer a larger width. That is so awesome that it will be so easy to transfer it to the working board. Thank you SO much for your help! You are a hero!

Hi, I went in and fixed some things up for you, other than the menu bar/buttons is there anything else that you're still missing? How awesome of you to do that. Thanks!

Your forum looks really great. But, my menu buttons are aligned totally different. I don't have much time for experimentation. I am really over my head with this at the moment. Is there any way I could pay someone to do it for me? Something reasonable like $30?

When you say you can't get the banner to fit. Have you changed the width of the forum yet? This can be changed in the same place as you applied the banner. If you want a set banner, you will need to change the with of the forum from it's default % to a px width which mathes the size of the banner you want. Does the banner HAVE to be the same width as the forum? In my v4 board, it is not as wide as the forum. To make it fit now makes the forum too narrow. Thank you for your help!

Forum URL: wlstest2.proboards.com/board/9/general-boardThe above url is to my test board which I have upgraded. I am missing: my banner the custom buttons under the banner the favicon the rocks image that replaced the dividers and the "You are awesome member" at the top of the board. The url to the actual working board is: weightlosssurgery.proboards.com/index.cgiI was smart enough to put the theme together myself and can probably follow directions pretty well. But, I am in the midst of therapy for cancer and I am finding this overwhelming. I appreciate any assistance I can get. Thank you! Kelly Your test forum is set so guests must login, so we can't actually see/help fully. However, to place your banner back, just go to: Admin > Themes > Colors & Theme CreatorOn that page near the bottom you should see (on the left side) it say Forum Banner and just below are options for your banner, such as Banner Image. Upload your image to there using the icon on the right hand side (it looks like a piece of paper with an upwards arrow).
Your custom buttons, are they images or CSS (or some form of coding)?
Follow the instructions in here for your Favicon: support.proboards.com/thread/442900/adding-favicon-board?page=1
The Rocks Icon, I assume you mean your title bars? If so, do the following: Admin > Themes > Colors & Theme CreatorAgain, at the bottom left, you will see "Style Options", this time look for "Gradients". There, you can upload or link to your rock icon.
Where does "You Are Awesome Member" show on your current forum? As a guest I can not see it. Perhaps a screenshot would be best so then we can tell you how to get it back (it shouldn't be too difficult, hopefully) I have opened the test board to guests. I tried to upload my banner, but I can't seem to get it the right size. I'm still searching for my rocks gradient on my v4 active board. My buttons under the banner must be code as I can't locate them under board images. I haven't done the favicon, yet, but I need to take a break. ----------------- --Main Header-- ----------------- <script> document.write("<b>You are awesome " + pb_username + ".</b>"); </script> Screen shot attached Attachments:

Thank you I should have caught that. I did remove her email address from the list but, she can still not sign in. Her IP is: and I scanned the page, but didn't see that either. The IP you posted is actually your IP address, which was last recorded for the account. What you'll want to do is have the member visit www.whatismyip.com and have her let you know what that website says her IP address is. Use that to search the ban list and you should be able to find it I went back to an older post of hers and confirmed it from an email she sent me. Sure enough, her IP was buried in the Ban list. Thank you RedBasset for that cool trick. Saved me a lot of time. Thank you everyone for your assistance. You may want to take a vacation. I'm onto fixing what the upgrade broke on my test board next. Really, I used to be smart.

On the ban page, can you use CTRL-F to search fro her IP to double check that it is not listed? I pulled up the ban page and cntrl f did nothing. I am on a MacBookPro, if that makes a difference. But, I have used the ancient technology of a pen and paper to write down her IP and compare it to IPs on the Ban list. I didn't see it. Thank you for trying to help.

What about her user name? Is that on the list? No. Her username never was. I would have noticed that easily.

Hi goodkel, I took a look and it appears that the member's email address is listed on the ban list for the forum, and is why they receive the message. If you remove their email address from the ban list on the forum they should be able to access again Thank you I should have caught that. I did remove her email address from the list but, she can still not sign in. Her IP is: and I scanned the page, but didn't see that either.

Hi There are two different kinds of banned messages. One for the forum level, and one for ProBoards as a whole. Could you get the exact message she is receiving. Meanwhile, do you have anything at all in the ban list? She gave me her password and when I attempted to sign in to her account, I received this: An Error Has Occurred Sorry, but you have been banned from this forum... Read more: weightlosssurgery.proboards.com/index.cgi#ixzz2obo3DygkI have no problem signing in to my admin account, so it is not an IP issue. I do have a long ban list. We are plagued by spammers. But, she is not on it. She is a sweet, 68 year old woman. There is no way Proboards would have banned her.

Forum URL: weightlosssurgery.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=banI have a member bboop who is getting a banned message when she tries to sign in. Meanwhile, she is NOT banned and is not on the banned list so there is nothing for me to remove. She has emptied her cache/cookies, rebooted her computer, and attempted to sign in with different browsers. None of that worked. How do I fix this? Thanks!
