MyBB Community Forums

First off - please know that  I'm rather illiterate when it comes to inserting code so could you please respond as you would in a "MyBB Code for Dummies" kind of a way - thank you in advance.


I please ask you for help with my banner. Most of the time I get assistance from a helper. But this time I'd like to try doing this "on my own," so to speak.

helper  recently installed this banner (just below) for me, but when viewed on my Home Page it seems that it might be too overpowering, because its somewhat 'over-sized.' I'm not positive about it just yet and that's why I'm asking for help on how to re-size it, but perhaps at another time. If I learn how to insert the code 'here+now' I'll certainly feel confident enough to do it on my own as well.  This is what my banner looks like - only larger, of course. --->

looks like your original banner image size is 1000 x 160 pixels.
it is uploaded to forum files server & served from there.

in general, images should be made with required sizes. so if you want to
reduce the size then either you can resize the image & provide that image
to your helper or ask helper to reduce the size (give required dimensions)

Ohhhhh   I thought that might be how it worked 

But I do have access to that server. Suppose I PM him and explained what I'd like to do. Would that mean all that needs to be done is to change those numbers or simply resize the image in Photoshop and re-post it? 

Could you supply me with the exact instructions on how to re-post the banner?

I just saw your instruction via PM..........thank you

admin panel >> Templates & Style >> themes >> Default --> scroll down for Edit Theme Properties --> Board Logo

there you can see path to banner image / url of the banner image
if the image is uploaded to images folder then it can be like images/logo.png
if the image is served from a files host then its direct link will be put there

display size of image can be also reduced without physically doing it
that method is not recommended. yet, if required, code like below can be
used in the global.css stylesheet of the theme

.logo img {width: 50%;}

Thank you very much for the information. Lets hope its alright with Rick for me to have access. ..........I actually have the same eMail Rick Kadala, [the Server owner] had sent to you that contains the server info.   So thanks again.
