Logo Background?
Trying to add a logo and not sure what I did but logo.gif is not showing up. I hate fixed width cuz it looks too small on wide screens. I repeated header.gif and now my menu and header stretch out with the rest of the forum. But that means I have no logo now. Or I can center the logo and find a way to repeat the logo as a background underneath so it fills out the screen. But I don't know how to do that. I don't want to add body background, I need to keep it in the container. Not sure what to do.

Hm. It's probably because the themes wanting to use a file of a specific file name and extension - it's probably looking to use logo.jpg or logo.png or something like that. You'll have to tell it that the new logo is logo.gif and point it to the correct directory.

Also, try using .png rather than .gif for your logo - it's a much higher quality format

1st check your CSS and see if the logo is listed there and if it is centered or not some themes do not have any logo settings in the sheet.

You can fix that in the header template as well like so

<div class="logo"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/index.php"><img src="{$theme['logo']}" alt="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" title="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" width="850"/></a></div>

I use Sharepoint for my theme and that logo by default is locked to the left and I centered it and adjusted the width to accommodate my custom logo. You can use any extension or file name you want you just need to add your logo name in your theme property settings.

Hello, You can restrtict forum width to a percentage in theme settings. This will stop your forum stretching.
