Okay, I am using a version of MyBB, (it works EXACTLY the same as MyBB) well, very similar. Anyway, can anyone here give me instructions to:

1. Add a icon/picture next to the forum? you know how these things [Image: off.gif] are next to the forum? Yeah I want to edit that and replace it with a new picture. Can someone give me instructions on how?

2. My friend put a banner up on the website (I dunno how to put a banner up) and yeah, pretty much there is a gap, so the banner didn't fill up the whole space, and I want to know how to make the banner fill up the whole thing with out stretching the image? I know there is a way to do that somehow.

If ANYONE can help me with this you do not know how thank full I am! Smile

EDIT: Wrong forum. Could someone lock this and I wil put it in the right forum?
No need to repost a moderator will move to right forum.
1. all you have to do is get a image/or make one and replace on.gif/off.gif/offlock.gif in your themes images file/save them as the same name for ease of use.
2. we would need to see the website to be able to tell yo how to get the banner to fit.
Ok thanks adbrad, my website is : http://www.beybladeaustralia.topixcube.com/index.php

Yes I know it's topixcube but it's still very same to mybb, and topixcube support forum is so in-active it isn't funny Toungue.

I will try the picture thing now.
I have tried to find the image files for the theme but I can't find it Sad. If you can/have free time, I could maybe make you admin and you could find it? hah I have no idea ...
Topixcube is just a host they use the mybb software.
not really sure about the banner maybe able to do something in the css.
also at the end of your news bar trmplate you want to add a <br /> so its not sqished up against the forums and it would look tidier.
Oh ok, thanks ^_^. As I said, if you can or want to, do you think you could maybe fix this if I made you an admin for the site?
I can't alter the images this has to be done via ftp or your cpanel do you have access to the forums files how did you install the current theme.

Also it is 2:20am where i am so i'm not going to be around untill later on.
Here's the URL's to your images:
http://www.beybladeaustralia.topixcube.c...ky/off.gif
http://www.beybladeaustralia.topixcube.c...sky/on.gif
http://www.beybladeaustralia.topixcube.c...fflock.gif

Just navigate to /images/sky/ and re-upload the files with the same name and file extension.

As for the banner, it would take CSS changes- but from what I'm seeing, it looks fine?
just had a quick look at topixcube and it appears you have no access to the files so adding custum images is going to be very difficult have you got any money to put in to the forum?

If he can't access FTP, then it's pretty much impossible because you can't access those via templates, and it would require either him re-uploading them, or doing core file edits.
Edit: After doing a quick search, I found you've asked the question many times. It was answered in this post by Matt:

That should work since it's through templates, which you have access to.
Looks like they switched hosts since then.
But i think the same would still apply.
