Yeah, I would like both to work for both sides of the site, the member and staff. So how would I change it?

And that didn't work, it now only says 'years old' but doesn't give any information. And its not only doing this for me, its doing it for my members to.

Which profile would you like to be for both staff and members? If I know that and can get a copy of your Mini-Profile template (via PM of course) I can make the quick changes for you.

In the Privacy tab when you edit your profile, have you set your Birthday Visibility to "show full birthday"? And member mini-profiles, since they are meant to be character mini-profiles, will need to have the birthdays set through custom fields. If the custom fields are set up they should be able to add in the age through the Personal tab. (Although, if you do want the staff mini-profile to show for everyone, just ignore that last part.)

Hi! I just want to say I love your skin and this was the first skin I've ever had to mess with the Wrapper. um, but I've done pretty good! However, the banner isn't showing. I don't think I have to use the wrapper, all I have to do is go to Admin > Colors & Theme Creator and you change the banner there right? That didn't work and I even tried going to the Logo when you go to the Skin Theme Images ... but I can't see it. All I see is the banner that's immediately there, not the banner I put is what I'm talking about. Do you know what could be the matter? Is it the Skin and I'm doing something wrong or is it a random careless mistake? I'm sorry if it's a mistake and nothing with the skin and wasting your time but.. it's never done this before so I wasn't sure. If you don't know yourself I can ask an actual admin on here for help, I just thought I'd ask you first. Thanks in return.

HyliaKitty Could you please provide a link to the forum where you're having issues with the banner?

Okay, HyliaKitty, you need to go into Structure > Layout Templates > Forum Wrapper then scroll down to Line 44 and replace http://placehold.it/1050x400 with a link to your banner image. The other places where you change the banner won't work due to how I've coded the hover.

I put it in but the Banner isn't working right. It seems like it's to small, on my computer anyways. It keeps repeating the banner, should I make it bigger? When I tried making it bigger it didn't change at all, even when I did put the new uploaded enlarged picture link in... what should I do? And thanks for helping so much Margie!

HyliaKitty The banner image needs to be 1050x400, the image you currently have for the banner is 800x304. You'll need to make the image you're using larger. And I would recommend uploading the image to ImageShack as Photobucket, at least from my experience, likes to resize images.

Oh thanks! The program to get my banner wasn't working so I got my friend to do it, now it looks so good!!! ^^; Love it so much, thank you, your skin is awesome!! If I have anymore troubles with the skin I'll come here since it's been so helpful! Thank you!

[FunkiPunki]

Hullo, just posting to say what a lovely skin you have here.

But, would it be possible to simply dive into the HTML of the Mini-Profile to change up a few of the custom field names? I'm afraid that the ones you provided might confuse people.

[XaviEo]

FunkiPunki, if you can do it without messing things up (I mean that in the nicest way), go ahead! (:

And thank you, glad to hear you like it.

[FunkiPunki]

Oh, it'll be a cinch, don't worry. Change up the name of the custom fields, proceed to change the names according to the newly-named custom fields in the Mini-Profile's layout.

You're very welcome.

This is really a great skin. Would you mind if I use it for my proboards site and change some things. I will leave the credit to you on the bottom of the page.

[plaxicofan7]

I do have a few questions, however:

1 - on the Banner hover, it has a spot for "Links". what can I even put there that can direct members to the link itself? I have tried everything and every time I go back and click on the link, it says error. Also, it there a way to link members to sites like facebook, etc via the link function?

[XaviEo]

plaxicofan7 Yeah, that should be fine if my credit stays.

For your question, could you please provide a link to the site you're having problems on first? This makes it a lot easier for me to work out how to help you as I can see it then.
