Banner upload question

[the stig]

I would like to upload a custom banner for my forum. I know where the forum logo url is located but I have no clue how to upload it to the images directory in my forum directory.

For example, if your title image is named titleimage.gif and you upload it to the images directory in your forum directory, then you would enter this: images/titleimage.gif

I need to know

a. Where is my forum directory?

b. Where is my image directory?

c. What picture formats I can upload (jpg, png, bmp, etc)?

Thank you in advance for your help.

You can use the File Manager in Cpanel. But most people use FTP.

The relative path shown /images/etc. probably sits in your public_html/forums/ folder. Look around.

And you probably want to use a .jpg, maybe a .gif.

thanks. Actually for some reason, I wasn't allowed to upload pics. So I just uploaded to a third party (i.e. photobucket) and it works fine.

That's a workaround, but not a solution. As you'll find out the next time Photobucket takes a while to load - it'll hang your whole forum if you're using it for your forum logo.

I just went through the same thing. I hope this helps.

if you are using the default vbulletin style
upload your image to /forumsdirectory/images/misc/logo.gif or favorite file type then change the image path in the control panel where you took the screenshot and chanige the path to /yourforumsdirectory/images/misc/logo.gif or whatever file type the image is. Hope this helped
