I'm still unable to get my header/banner to work.  :(  I've tried everything and nothing seems to work, and I even uninstalled & reinstalled the them.   :'(

Can you give me a link to your forums so I can see what header you're speaking of?  Better yet, have you checked under Forum Configuration - Current Theme Settings - and verify if you have a check in the box besides Enable News?  Just want to see if you add an announcement in the News section if it appears.

for some reason my top nav bar is off center to the left in my forum
what would be causing that to happen??

I have changed the way that menu is shown for Helios_multi..so instead of aligning ti the left, its aligned centered in that theme. But you can apply the same in your theme:
This is the code you need to find:
                // Show the menu here, according to the menu sub template.
echo '<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="text-align: left; margin-left: 20px; background-image: url(' . $settings['images_url'] . '/pod/pod-midbar.gif);" ><tr>';
echo '<td><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/pod/pod-leftbar.gif" alt="gfx" style="margin: 0px 0;" border="0" /></td>';
echo '<td><a href="#" onclick="shrinkHeader(!current_header); return false;"><img id="upshrink" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', empty($options['collapse_header']) ? 'upshrink.gif' : 'upshrink2.gif', '" alt="*" title="', $txt['upshrink_description'], '" style="margin: 0px 0;" border="0" /></a><img id="upshrinkTemp" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/blank-upshrink.gif" alt="" style="margin: 0px 0;" /></td>';
                template_menu();
echo '</td></tr></table>';
        // The main content should go here.  A table is used because IE 6 just can't handle a div.


And replace with:
                // Show the menu here, according to the menu sub template.
echo '<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="text-align: left; margin-left: 20px; background-image: url(' . $settings['images_url'] . '/pod/'.$options['theme_color'].'/pod-midbar.gif);" ><tr>';
echo '<td style="width: 39%; background-color: black;"> </td><td><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/pod/'.$options['theme_color'].'/pod-leftbar.gif" alt="gfx" style="margin: 0px 0;" border="0" /></td>';
echo '<td><a href="#" onclick="shrinkHeader(!current_header); return false;"><img id="upshrink" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', empty($options['collapse_header']) ? 'upshrink.gif' : 'upshrink2.gif', '" alt="*" title="', $txt['upshrink_description'], '" style="margin: 0px 0;" border="0" /></a></td><td><img id="upshrinkTemp" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/blank.gif" alt="" style="width: 2px; height: 20px;margin: 0px 0;" /></td>';
                template_menu();
echo '</td><td style="background-color: black;width: 59%;"> </td></tr></table>';
        // The main content should go here.  A table is used because IE 6 just can't handle a div.


As you can see, I just made the table 100 % in width, but added a empty <td> at first and last which together adds up to 99%. The rest will then be pushed against each other, making it centered. :)

NOS..  Yes, the news option is enabled, and it's showing.  Is that why the banner wont show?  Also, when I try to make changes and add the banner into the "logo" field, or the one above it, the forum theme defaults back to the standard, default theme.  I have to go back in and reset it to helios, but the banner still doesn't show.

I think you are using the Helios_multi11 theme on a SMF 1.0.5 version, thats why it won't work. Its meant for SMF 1.1beta3 hence the "11" number in it. ;)

Download the Helios_multi archive instead and try that.

Oh for heaven's sake. LOL  Thanks, Bloc.  I thought for sure I'd downloaded the right theme!  The theme works, but those features don't.

Okay... gonna fix that now.   :P

Gee, I should have figured that one out as I did EXACTLY THE SAME THING!!!


Ho hum... ;)

Autumn, just went and visited and it looks great!

One suggestion, that I found with this theme, if you can put some kind of logo in the Current theme settings, under the Topbar, add in a logo and then as long as your users have the header expanded, they can click on that logo to go back to your Forums home page. Just a suggestion, as I have a problem seeking that home button all the time....

LOL  I'm SOOOOO excited!!!  It worked!  Whooo hooooooooo!!!!  NOS... glad to know I'm not the only one who did this! hehe  And thanks for the kind words, but the credit goes to Bloc for that awesome theme!  The banner's mine, but the theme makes the page.  ;)

Bloc---you're awesome!!!

Awww, you guys give me way too much credit.  You're sweet.  :)  You know, as a quick FYI, the zombies in that image are made by a friend of mine... he makes them from scratch for his Halloween yard haunt each year ::: amazing!  http://www.pumpkinrot.com is his site, and seriously.. be prepared.  ;)  The first time I saw his new skelly... under the 2005 section, I thought:  "anyone missing a relative?" lol  he's awesome.

Again, thanks you guys.  Those compliments mean a lot coming from you all.   :)

PSSST!  Bloc!  C'mere!  I have about a 200% chance of getting my zombie-makin' buddy to give an okay on making a dark theme using his ghoulies. ;)  And, the original images are huge, high res... and just ready for hot theme designer to bring them to life.

... that's not a hint or anything.   ;D

Indeed. :D They look very real..!

A theme based on these images? ;D I would like a try...if you let me.

Btw, the image you sent, I haven't forgotten it - just been so busy with updating themes and stuff. If you still want to do something with it, I can send you some ideas we can work further on? ( could do this on PM though ;) )

autumn_whispers2me

Awesome, Bloc!  I'm sure he'll okay it, but I sent an email a little while ago.   8) 8) 8)
