Hello. Is there a thorough tutorial somewhere that explains how to add a banner image into a style of VBulletin. What I want is the same header I have on my site to be on top of the forum.

The site is www.blackjackapprenticeship.com
I did not write the code and am very limited on my coding languages. I just understand HTML and CSS.

Thanks for any help!

Maybe this one will help. Very easy to make and install.

I see you added a new style. So, go into you admincp/Styles&Templates/Search in Default Templates,
Type in "header"
Copy the contents of the default header template & repeat the above steps, but search in the "innocence" style. Replace the contents of your innocence header template with what you copied from your default template. But, Back up your header template you are editing, In-case you need to add it back .

All the images you have missing are not in the innocence folder & need to be added there.
To do this, go to you forums, right click on any "red x". Click properties....You will see the path of that image. Open your FTP. public_html/blackjackapprenticeship/forum

For example: If you look for this public_html/blackjackapprenticeship/forum/misc/navleft.gif
http://www.blackjackapprenticeship.com/forum/innocence/misc/navleft.gif

That image will not be there, instead, you will go here to get the image & add it to your "innocence" /misc folder


http://www.blackjackapprenticeship.com/forum/misc/navleft.gif

You will need to drag it to your desk top to re-add it to the proper folder. Repeat those steps throughout your forum.

This will also apply this same procedure after you edit your header template.....Good luck



Below is a default header template for 3.6.8

<!-- 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_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
<td align="$stylevar[right]">
&nbsp;
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->

<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output
