STEP 5) AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Welcome Headers

I'm having a hard time with step 5 of this.

For some reason I cant find "welcome headers" anywhere.

Re: [HOW-TO] Make your Welcome Headers an image!

Thanks for tip Brandon, will surely add this when I migrate my board to VB.

Btw if I edit a skin in one install and download that skin through the download theme option in the Admin CP, will I get the edited theme with the welcome header and ads added or will I get the normal skin?

Re: [HOW-TO] Make your Welcome Headers an image!

Just did this on my forum and I think it turned out well. I made it so it actually looks like typed text on my page.

F-Body Online - Camaro and Firebird Forums

Also added all those links in the left navigation column and made the register orange to stand out better.

Re: [HOW-TO] Make your Welcome Headers an image!

How does the imgae you make fit in the box on different sized screens.

For example, if I make the Welcome Header Image 750px wide and it's viewed on a 1024px wide monitor ... what happens?

I obviously need to make this thing, probably just use paint, but will need some-one to help put the links in. Going to have to jazz it up a bit, I want more than just boring ole font.

Some guy was offering help @ $15, but I also need some-one to install the mod coz I'm a bit dumb with these things and frankly ... would rather trust some-one else than practice with the risk off stuffing things up.

So first of all, can some-one explain the image sizing issue? Also, right now, at the top of my Forum is a banner, that's 750 wide, how do I make that match the width of the Forum as per various sized monitors? People often comment that it sits up there sort of looking odd.

I'm listening.

Oh, forum is Tree World
