Problem with banner placement on IP Board.

Discussion in 'PHP' started by Mahumba, Mar 17, 2008.

    The board looks fine on my screen but I have been getting emails stating that the banner eats up the first row of links like it's over lapping. I don't understand as I can't see it on my end or even how to fix it if I could see it.

    Can anyone take a look and give me some code to fix it?

    My Board to take a look at.

    Thanks if you can help me out.

    Your banner is too large for the hole its in. The banner (6_tbaybanner.gif) is 162 pixels high... whereas the division its in (#logostrip) is only set for a height of 68 pixels.

    Either resize your banner so its not as high... or set #logostrip to a larger height in the CSS file.

    You can see how it currently appears in FireFox in the attachment.

    Thanks Scoopy82. I did what you said but I still can't tell if it is repaired as it didn't look bad on my end. After what you instructed me to do it still looks the same on my end so I am hoping that's positive. Can you please see if it has improved or not?

    Thanks.

    Yup... the banner now clears those links. Now to think about the background image there (style_images/outdoor/tile_back.gif)... see how it repeats itself for another row and a half ? Maybe you want to try and resize that to 162px ?

    You would have to resize that image using photoshop or other editor... and increasing its size... may not look so hot. You can also try changing it to a solid color instead by changing the CSS:

    #logostrip
    replace
    background: #3860BB url(style_images/outdoor/tile_back.gif);
    Code (markup):
    with
    background-color: #F8B360;
    Code (markup):
