Ive messed up


Hi guys, am looking for some help if possible.

I purchased This Theme But wasnt overly keen on the header section.

Im trying to have a simple header / Logo that keeps the width of the forum, depending on what resolution a user is viewing at. As you will see from my "Feeble" attempts, ive failed miserably. Im a pull it apart and see kind of guy, but i have no idea how to get it to do what i want lol.

Any help would be great.

Re: Ive messed up


Well, to be honest, i find it quite chunky, and ive never been able to get the banner to display no matter what i try. Seems to display for others an not me. Ive cleared cookes, cache, the lot, and nothing.

However, talking to my other half ( she does my head in lol ), she likes the default, and has just said, if you get banner working, she wants to use it.

So lets start again, any ideas why the banner wont display for me, yet does for others ? lol

Re: Ive messed up


changing out the banner ad (468x60) is as simple as replacing this image on your server

this pic

is here http://www.chatanplay.com/arcade/images/bigred/misc/banner.gif

replace that with whatever banner you want, just overwrite with a different 468x60 image

the header image is 191x110

this pic

is here
http://www.chatanplay.com/arcade/images/bigred/misc/logo.gif

replace that with the edited logo file with your site name in it. the skin should have came with a psd. if you can't do it I can, just send me the psd.

Yup, done all that, but as i mentioned, the banner appears to others but not to me. See previous attachment, that all i ever get, while others see it.

Has me scratching my head

Re: Ive messed up


oh i see what you mean, go to ACP>stlyes and templates>search in styles.

search for "banner.gif" hit go

find the banner in the template, does the coding that shows the banner have any if statements around it like

<if condition="$show['member']">BANNER CODE HERE</if>

??

other then that is has to be your pc, i see it fine. try a different browser?

Re: Ive messed up


Well, i'll be blowed.

Just googled, and came up with this

Quote:
Kaspersky Internet Security 7 also does this. I was serving my sites
banners from a "banners/" folder on the www public root and the firewall
blocked display of any images sourced from this folder! Moving the
banner to a different folder, or renaming the folder (for ex.
"advertisers/") solved the problem.
Just the name banner was enough for Kaspersky to block the image, ive renamed it, and problem sorted yehaaa

Now all i have to do is "try and make a new logo and content to go in the banner area lol

Thanks again caddy, appreciated as always.
