Hi Gunter Severloh Getting the height correct for the banner can be difficult because the width can vary depending upon the viewport size, and with an oversized background image like like you have that becomes even more difficult. From your Admin panel, navigate: Admin Home> Themes> Advanced Styles & CSS then click on the Style Sheet tab. Select the desired theme in the dropdown to the right of Current Theme. Scroll to the very bottom of the Style Sheet and add this: /* Adapt banner size for oversized image, regardless of viewport width */ #banner { background-size: cover; height: 17.65vw; } /* End of Section */ Then click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page or the Save Theme button near the top of the page. Please let me know if this gets you where you want to go.

Thanks for the information and help but the new code didn't change anything,
should i try a different image or is it not the image? I increased the of the forum to 80% tried again but nothing changed.
Heres another question, is there a way to import files or bascially port another forum's
content such as posts, ect,. to my new forum with proboards, as this is what im trying to do, this is my other forum however at the time i was paying $5 a month since then, and now the forum company
jacked up the prices to $39/month so i dont really want to lose the content as there is alot of information, references and
archives there.
The other linked forum btw is the look im after.
There is files i can download but im not sure what to do with them, any ideas?

Hey Gunter SeverlohWhen I view your ProBoards forum, this is what I see: When I view the other forum, I see this: What is it on the other forum you're trying to duplicate on the ProBoards forum? The image where it says MISSION REPOSITORY (etc)? Or something else?

Hi, seeing your 2nd pic of my proboards forum then going there and not seeing that i realized i had an adblocker running which i disabled and now the banner shows. "What is it on the other forum you're trying to duplicate on the ProBoards forum? The image where it says MISSION REPOSITORY (etc)? Or something else?" Yes the MissionRepository banner too i would like to add if thats possible, havent tried adding it yet. That links to my website i built for the community btw But for the rest of the forum i basically want to port the whole forum over, i can download files from the original site but idk what to do with those files, idk if thats realistic, but outside of that i was just going to recreate the catagories, and then go from thread to thread and add them in there.

Use of Ad-blockerGunter Severloh , if you regularly use an ad-blocker, you'll want to whitelist: proboards.com freeforums.net and boards.net because: - Use of ad-blockers is prohibited in the ToS (to which we agree to when we create forums and user accounts on the ProBoards service).
- It's the right thing to do. Since ProBoards provides forums free of charge, display of adverts is necessary to fund their operation.
MissionRepository image/linkPlace this in your Global Header: <a href="*URLofLinkDestination*" target="_blank"> <img src="*URLofImage*" width="100%" alt="Mission Repository"></a> Replace *URLofLinkDestination* and *URLofImage* with the appropriate urls. I noticed your image on the other forum was hosted on Imgur. They're okay with using their service for images in posts. They're not okay with using images hosted on their service in themes, avatars, etc. I recommend uploading the image directly to your theme in the Custom Theme Images section, then using that url. Removal of vertical gaps between categories.Scroll down to the very bottom of the Style Sheet for your theme and add this: /* Remove vertical gap between categories */ .container.boards{margin-bottom:0px;} /* End of Section */

Removal of vertical gaps between categories.Scroll down to the very bottom of the Style Sheet for your theme and add this: /* Remove vertical gap between categories */ .container.boards{margin-bottom:0px;} /* End of Section */ For the adblocker i only use it for Utube mainly thats why i installed it as i have a few channels, plus there is a couple of websites i go to that has ads and in my community i do alot of various projects, these ads just slow me down. For proboards i totally forgot i had it running, so i disabled it for the forum, sorry about that.
Thanks for the codes and information i had applied the codes accordingly, and did some searching on where to find some things but i figured it out. I also added a banner for my one Utube channel at the bottom of the forum like i have on my other forum, this all really does it, forum looking great!
So what i need to figure out now is how to actually get the actual threads over from the old forum to
the proboards one, i have access to content seen here on the old forums admin section for files
Only thing that comes to mind is copying and pasting from one forum to another which will take alot of time, but i have til the end of February before im going to shutdown the old forum as its costing me about $40/month atm, i really dont want to lose that forum. Your guy's thoughts.

Gunter Severloh, copying and pasting would be the only method as importing is not an option. Sorry.
