Some very newbie questions

[tSS]

Ok thanks!

So they're on my computer . . . what do I do w/ them now? I still don't know how to go from having them saved on my computer to seeing them on my forum{?}

Well, you upload them and then point to them in your style.

Default vb uses these folders to put the logo and background - /images/misc for the banner/logo and /images/gradient for most background gradients. So, go ahead and put them in those folders. Then, enter the logo path in Style Manager > find your style > StyleVars > Title Image and then for the background, you would enter the image most likely in Style Manager > find your style > Main CSS > Body > background box: #color url(images/gradients/tSSbackground.jpeg) (something like that)

LOL! trying to even understand that

1st I open my server and find my images on my computer to upload? Then upload them into my images folder?

[Lynne]

Yes. But, in your images folder is a folder called misc. Put the logo in there. The go back to your images folder and go to the gradients folder. Put the background in there.

within my server or in my downloads file on my MAC?

I'm sorry, this is probably so clear but it's the very first time I've ever tried this. . . I can Mod and Admin any vbull forum, but I've never been on this side, setting one up

You want to upload them to your server. You should probably keep a copy also on your Mac in the same place.

from within my server folders, I can't find the pics on my MAC{?}

From post 12:

Then, enter the logo path in Style Manager > find your style > StyleVars > Title Image and then for the background, you would enter the image most likely in Style Manager > find your style > Main CSS > Body > background box: #color url(images/gradients/tSSbackground.jpeg) (something like that)

OK, figured out what you're saying, but it's not working.
I see I'm changing something as the vbull logo turns into a ?
I saved the logo as tSSLOGO.jpeg and uploaded it on filezilla. Did I miss something?

I am not getting my B/G or my logo to successfully load in admincp.{?} I have found where I can customize everything, so thank you! I hadn't found this yet. . . . but I'd love to see the logo and B/G on it.
