Using My Own Header Image
I've created an image which I'd like to use as a header to my forum.
I need the uploading instructions and 'how to' for displaying the image. Many, many thanks.

Re: Using My Own Header Image
Firstly, you have to upload your image to a site that allow hotlinking (as Runboard does not store user's images). There is a list of free sites here:
http://com5.runboard.com/brunboardextra.fpopularfeatures.t34
Once the image is uploaded to the host site, you will have a URL address to add to your board.
But, in your case, before you can customise your board, you need to change your board layout to 'Custom'.
To do this, go to Control panel>Board Management>Change board theme/layout.
Check the option that says 'Copy it to the custom layout, and switch to using the custom one'. Click the 'Change theme' button.
Now, you can go to Control panel>Board Management>Edit layout /colors of your board>Manage Custom HTML content or Manage Custom Style Sheet (CSS) and add code there if you want.
Please note:
Any customised CSS or HTML that you have added since selecting the skin will be deleted when you copy a skin to 'Custom'.
So, you should save any code you have added (to a txt file or similar) if you don't want to lose it. However, I don't think you have any added custom CSS or HTML code
to worry about.
Adding the Banner
That will depend upon the board theme you choose to keep.
The banner will either go in the Control panel>Board management>Edit layout/colors area (go down to 'Community Logo'
or
in the 'Manage Custom HTML' area (Control panel>Board management>Edit layout/colors) - if it goes here, you should see a section of code with "BANNER" next to it.
If you're not sure of anything, please post back here and we'll give some more instructions.

Re: Using My Own Header Image
Thank you, so much, Rimmer.
How about if I upload my image to my blog (blogspot.com) - would that suffice?
What I could do with, is the exact piece of code hightlighting to me, so I know where to put the 'img src' html code.
Thanks.

Re: Using My Own Header Image
Okay people haven't replied to this in a while but I'm gonna try.
I figured how to apply the banner on even though in the CSS there wasn't a section with BANNER there, I applied the image as a background, however the original banner still overlaps my 'banner' blocking most of it out. How am I to get rid of this?
In the process of this I accidentally deleted the coding for the Seperators part for above and below the banner, but thats not a priority really...
Thanks in Advance

Re: Using My Own Header Image
Since different skins use different methods of applying a banner, it would help us help you if you provide a link to your board.

The board link is:
http://com3.runboard.com/bthederangedlunatics
That skin/theme (Pro Black by Smackdown5) keeps its banner link in the Custom HTML area.
If you replace this code:
<div style="width:100%;height:142px;background-color:#000000;background-image:url(http://img.runboard.com/img/layouts/smackdown5_10/samplebanner.jpg);background-repeat:no-repeat;border-width:0px"></div>
with this:
<div style="width:100%;height:200px;background-color:#000000;background-image:url(http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i40/underlying_truth/CYT2.jpg);background-repeat:no-repeat;border-width:0px;background-position-x:center;"></div>
you will get a centered banner.
(you'll need to remove the 'extra' one form the 'Edit layout page')

Re: Using My Own Header Image
Thanks alot!
I entered in the centered version, and it's not really centered, but at least it's up there which is great in itself. As I did this I found the scrolling message bar html that went beneath the banner, and changed the font to make it viewable again, so two corrections were rescued then.
Thanks again! Angela.

Hmm, it's centered in IE but not FireFox.

Try this:
<div style="height: 200px; background: url(http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i40/underlying_truth/CYT2.jpg) center top no-repeat;"> </div>
