XF 1.3 How To Simply Add Header Image To Forum

[MQK8]

Hi Folks

Okay, I know this is easy stuff probably for most of you, but I've been struggling all day to simply add a banner image on top of my forum. Right over the navigational area. My header banner is 1500x400 or height: 400px; width: 1500px; . I have set the path in the style properties in the "Header and Navagation" area and the banner shows up but nowhere close to being right placement wise. I've been messing with the "Height of Header Logo" settings by putting all different kinds of numbers and different combinations in there hoping I would luck out somehow but so far not even close. Any direction, instructions, anything to help me on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks In Advance

Are you trying to add a logo or a banner?

A logo can be set using Style Properties -> Header and Navigation Settings -> Header Logo Image Path
A background banner can be set using Style Properties -> Header and Navigation -> Header -> Background Image

It would be easier to help you out if your site wasn't displaying this currently


Remote troubleshooting is aided by being able to view the problem and massage the CSS code frequently.

Sorry about that, I thought I had deleted the other post about this but see now that you cant delete it and what I deleted was my response to you. Sorry about that again..

Tracy, all that is gone now..

You have it set offline?
It is massagelodge.com correct?

Tracy, you mean you need the site activated?

 

[TPerry]

Well, the screenshot shows you what I see when I visit if it's massagelodge.com. Let me try refreshing the browser.

@Fingertips... if you are using the xenfracture_light_fluid (and if that's not a child of your custom you need to make it so as the default - for reasons of upgrades not stomping on your customizations) then you don't have the logo showing.
I've got a feeling you have the style above as your default and may be working on a child style and it's not selectable.

Do you have Skype? If so, hit me up at the contact info in my profile.

Okay Tracy, I will,.. Thanks

Okay Folks,

When clicking on the link from your ACP this is what shows up for me in Chrome on a Mac.

this is what i see now in firefox

Probably because you haven't changed your profile style to the new Child Style. It's still reading your XenFracture
