Changing Header Image in Milky Way

Hey,

I have a question. I'm trying to change the header image for my forum. I did that by deleting the topicon_small.png file and using my own image with the same file name. The image size is 996x156 but something keeps resizing it to 978x154. In my administration options it says the size is 996x156 but on the forum itself its smaller. I don't know what I'm doing wrong

Re: Changing Header Image in Milky Way

Welcome to IcyPhoenix.com Nim,

For starters .. please don't post personal questions in the Release Thread, I've moved it for you to where it belongs

Secondly, a link would be nice.

Third .. deleting the topicon_small.png ?? why did you do that? does imageset/sitelogo_small.png sound more realistic?

Greetings,
...Joshua203

When I do this, it removes the whole image, there is nothing now :c

Did you do something else, because I did everything you wrote but it doesn't work like yours?

Edit:
I refreshed the template now, and it finally works <3 thanks for the help

Re: Changing Header Image in Milky Way

Thanks Limun, however I was going to keep the logo clickable as front image... meaning remove site description and site name lines and maybe one more, then center the logo and refresh.

If this is fine for you Nim, it's fine for me... if you want the clickable header, let us know

Nim Joined: June 2013 Posts: 8	Re: Changing Header Image In Milky Way If you could tell me how to remove the site name and description lines from the header.. that would be awesome! I don't use them right now, but I "have to", because the registration mail says "Welcome to ??". I guess I have to fill in the name of the board one. But then it shows on the header, and that looks awful =(
