How to increase header height (how to tutorial)
 

I'm not sure if this will work for everyone, but it worked for me. After searching for a few hours I couldn't find anything on how to increase the height of the header on vBulletin 4.2. Just a bunch of people asking how to do it...

So this is what I have came up with. It seems that the header size directly correlates with the size of your logo. "vbulletin4_logo.png" Since I am using a header alone and not a logo this is what I did.

I created a transparent image in photoshop that was 1 pixel wide, and the height, in my case 250px high. I saved the image as a transparent .png named "vbulletin4_logo.png" and uploaded it to my images/misc folder in the vbulletin folder in my ftp. And boom after many hours it finally worked.

Hopes this helps.

For future reference you can modify the height of the header by adding the following to additional.css:

Change 250px to whatever number you want.

I think the vB team's goal here was to make it so the header automatically changed according to the size of the logo you used.

ps: you can add the code above to your own additional.css and then change your logo to be wider so people can click it to go back "home".
