    Use my current banner?

    www.gcindiana.info has a custom made banner. It says Greene County Resources on it.

    I want to use it on my forum where the VBulletin logo is.
    I want to be SURE it is Centered & The correct width.
    I asked this in pre sales area & was Never successful getting it.

    My goal is to have this all ship shape befor inviting my old members in to register.

    Upload your logo to the images directory then change the location of your forum logo here:

    Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> style name -> Style Vars (in the All Style Options drop-down menu) -> Images Paths -> Title Image

    Centering it requires editing the header template with the appropriate HTML code:

    Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Edit Templates -> header

      You posted this in the vB2 forum. Did you intend this for vB3? My instructions assume vB3.

          Code:
           
          
          <!-- logo -->
          <a name="top"></a>
          <table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
          <tr>
           <td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
           <td align="$stylevar[right]">
            &nbsp;
          <!--
            NEW HEADER &amp; NAVBAR
            
            Now that the nav buttons are in the
            navbar template, you can stick whatever
            you like into this space.
          
            This makes it much easier for novice
            admins to customize their header
            template without affecting important
            navigation elements.
          -->
           </td>
          </tr>
          </table>
          <!-- /logo -->
          
          <!-- content table -->
          $spacer_open 
          
          [CODE]%4$s
          phpinclude_output

          [/CODE]

          CURRENT code
          Can I get a reply with new code showing what I need for "center" & width="100%"?

          I gotta try to make this sharp & presentable in the next day or 2.

            You can use that snipert of code, it should work.

              Centered, but NOT stretched.

              That was my issue before, is the width not being quite there.

                  If you look at my old forum, www.gcindiana.info/forum the banner goes across nicely.

                  With my VB forum the banner is short on both ends. www.gcindiana.info/forum3

                  Do I need to resize the banner in like photoshop?

                  WAIT**
                  The old forum has it in a cell & the cell is set to white, new VB forum uses a grey cell color. If I can tell it to use a white cell background, my banner will blend & problem solved.

                  Please tell me what you think & how to mage the cell white PLEASE.

                      Sorry but I don't understand what you're asking. Your logo and forums look fine to me.

                        If you make the "body background" white, it'll blend in... it's under "all style options", in the Style Manager...

                            As Maggie said, make the background white:

                            Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> All Style Options -> Body -> Background
