If you need one staff background avatar:

NOTE: Staff Background Avatars are automatically resized to 175x70 to fit the badge correctly, so nothing needs to be changed in the templates.

NOTE: Staff Avatars are automatically resized to 60x60 to fit the badge correctly, so nothing needs to be changed in the templates.

You are done, please click install if you use this.

Enjoy It

Any answer to this?

[YdieresiS]

Just enter <MARQUEE> and </MARQUEE> in the Staff Title HTML Markup fields and it will be marquee. It's that easy.

Just noticed.. the background is in Mini stats but not in the avatar that is shown in your posts

did you putting the code in postbit template? that doesn't work yet try the code put to the postbit_legacy template..

[Derekclarke]

Just checked and the Code is in the Postbit_legacy template.

I have just created a New Style sheet and integrated this hack only to it..

re-uploaded the product... and still it does not show in normal posts.

[ShawneyJ]

sweet

[Derekclarke]

Just been playing, and if i edit the Postbit template, the text to replace is not the same, but if i replace the code for the avatar....

the image is displayed... but it messes everything up...

in the staff posts

check the report post buttons, and the post text box.

[TasariMerkezi]

thank you man

[Derekclarke]

Any Ideas?

Or is it possible to post the sourcefile of these images? (eg PSD or EPS).

Have you looked at my question?
