Hello, I am wondering how do I upload on my forum my custom avatars (for example I want to upload avatars of Bambi). Also I seen on a IPB forum a banner picture as well, is there any way to upload and show such a banner picture? (ususaly sticks where "Forumer.com create a community" text on the blue background is found)
Thank you

To change the banner, see the IPB documentation on how to change your board logo:

http://forum.forumer.com/showthread.php?t=6064

You can upload custom avatars by going to "My Controls" (top right corner) -> Avatar settings and click the browse button. Choose the image you want and press "upload".

Before you can do this you need to have it allowed for your usergroup:

ACP -> Manange Usergroups -> Edit (Admin)

Make sure that the box called something similar to "Allow avatar uploads" is checked

Thank you for your response.

A few things tho.

When I setup the banner, it seems that if the banner has a height of let's say 160 pixels, the blue banner will clone itself, looking quite nasty. (see attachment).
Was wondering also if the banner can be placed in the center.

About the Avatars, I was refering to introduce avatars inside the forum databank, so they can be found at: Pre-installed avatars
If possible I also would like to delete any existed pre-installed avatar that is comming default with the forum, like the "smilley avatars, IPB Community pack and Base Gallery" so only my set of avatars that I am installing be available.

Thank you again

The reason it clones itself is because the image is to small. Try replacing it with a color:

ACP -> Skins & Templates -> Style Sheets -> edit

Find:

Quote:

BODY { font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #000; margin:0px 10px 0px 10px;background-color:#EFEFF0 }

The red isn't the same on your forum but you should change it to something else. Notice that it uses hex code for colors. Too see hex colors for the most common colos, go here

To center banner:

ACP -> HTML Templates -> Manange HTML -> Global HTML elements -> Board Header (logo, links, etc)

find:

Quote:

<div id='logostrip' align='center' >
<img src='[color=blue]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c4/Mattara/WorldScience.png[/colro]' border="0" width='100%'/></a>
</div>

The blue is different from your forum. Don't change it to that.

Add the things in red.

Avatars:

It is possible to install own avatar galleries and delete the old ones using a modification found over at FMC, but it has some bugs so I would advice you against not using it. Requires registration.

Centering worked but not the banner cloning background.

If I change the color as you presented it will only actualy change the body color, the background around the hole forum.

What I need is to change the background that I pointed in this attachment (see bellow).
As taller the banner is, as many blue lines are made.

Moridin12 · 04-22-2006, 03:42 AM

Aha, sorry, I made a mistake. The correct place to change the color should be:

Quote:

#logostrip { border:1px solid #000;background-color: #E6E7E9;padding:0px;margin:0px; }

It will not say background-color but background image (and maybe background color depending on how good the skinner was) on your forum.

Ok I managed to fix it.

The problem wasn't the color, it was the banner background image. So in order to blend with my banner color, I just took a plane (green in my case) background and insterted the image instead of the default one.
It was very near if not in the #logostrip
Now my banner background is full, nice, plane, one color
