Posts: 51 13-Nov-09 6:06 PM	Tags : None Everyone here has always been very helpful. Hoping for more of the same. I live in a 55+ community and started a Yuku Forum 18 months ago. Our wonderful Board has decided that I needed to make changes to the Forum including changing the photo I have on the first page (which someone here helped me put up way back then) and adding some text. I have no clue. The skin I am using is "Horsing Around", but the original skin's picture of the horses and cowboy hat at the top was changed to my photo of the Clubhouse which now has to be changed to something else (aaarrgghh). If anyone knows how to do this stuff and would not mind volunteering to help, please email me at edited Thanks!!!!! Old AND Stupid Steve Last Edited By: Chris W962 13-Nov-09 6:53 PM. Edited 1 time.

ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 13731 13-Nov-09 6:57 PM Yuku Help	Hi Steve, I don't know how old you are, but I'm 109, beat that! You're not stupid, trust me. Can you give us a link to the board? I am going to move this topic to the skins section, from where we will help you further. You may also want to include a link to the image you wish to put on the page. Also, I have edited out your email. With the amount of spammers we have around nowadays, you'd end up turning your inbox into a grand central for shoe and handbag offers, and even viagra or blue elephants.

The link is http://www.meadowbrookpointe.yuku.com/ Problem is that I am still trying to come up with a substitute picture that will satisfy the Board. Hopefully I will have a photo by tomorrow. What do I do with it is the question and what is the maximum resolution allowed? At my age, I already get plenty of Viagra spam. Steve

ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 4562 14-Nov-09 1:42 AM `smilie` `fetiche`	Hi Steve . We currently put your banner in the custom banner spot and it is really easy to change there. Just click on the Admin link to open your boards Control Panel. Then look in the the Design box and click on the customized skins link. The skin you are using is titled "Horsing Around -w/meadowbrook banner *cropped". Look to the right of that and click on the blue "images" button. Add your new image url there. Last time I cropped the image for you to fit better on your screen. Let me when you find the image you want if you need that. Also if you want to keep this skin with this image, just make a copy (the blue copy button to the right). Then you can add your new banner to the new skin and see if you like it. If not you would still have your old copy. If you want to enter text it can be added to the Custom header if you want it above the banner. If you want it below, it could be added in the announcement box, or we could add a custom box. I don't think we have a resolution limit but we do have a size limit of 2MB. But that is only on Yuku storage. If you have something larger and it is stored elsewhere, you are allowed to post it. If it were that big though your members might have problems to open the board, lol.

Posts: 51 14-Nov-09 9:56 AM	Thanks, Arizona. There is a box just below the photo that currently says "invite friends". I would like to change that to a sentence or two of text. As usual, I cannot find the place to type that. Any direction would be great. Thanks. Steve

ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 4562 14-Nov-09 11:05 AM `smilie` `fetiche`	That is the tool box. You cannot add anything to that box. You can hide the invite friends by add this: .invite { display: none; } to your Advanced CSS. You find this by looking to the right of the skin in the skin list and clicking on the 'edit html' button. place that code in the Advanced CSS after all the code that is in there now. You can add another box above the tool box by add this to your Custom Footer: <box before="tool-box"> Your text here </box>

Posts: 51 17-Nov-09 7:47 AM	Thanks, Arizona. That worked great. What would I do if I want the text centered in that box? Steve

ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 4562 17-Nov-09 8:55 AM `smilie` `fetiche`	Hi Steve ! Here you go: .custom-box { text-align: center; border-top: 2px solid #000908;} That will center the text and also put the "top" on that box .

Posts: 51 17-Nov-09 9:09 AM	Thanks, but I tried it above the text I inserted and below in the Custom Footer box, and nothing changes on the forum. Where do I place this line: .custom-box { text-align: center; border-top: 2px solid #000908;} </div></div></div> <pngfix> <box before="tool-box"> MY TEXT IS HERE </box>

ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 4562 17-Nov-09 9:15 AM `smilie` `fetiche`	Ooops..orry I should have said. That code is CSS and belongs in the 3rd box called Advanced Css when you click on the 'edit html' button. Just add that code to the bottom of what is already in the box.
