For Safari 6.1 users it's highly recommended that you download this theme's newest version.

Safari 6.1 makes this theme's text look thin and degraded.

The newest version of this theme corrects the degraded text issue.

Hello my name is Klover and I am the Admin of Last Paw, a canine rp site.
My co-creator came across your wonderful theme and I would like to put our name Last Paw in the blank text theme you have provided.

If you would can you please do this for us? We would enjoy having our Forum Logo on there and provided by the person that created it. Also I am fairly new to HTML code. Would it be a bother to learn from you? If so I understand completely and I thank you for your time in putting the name of our forum on the theme.

Again the forum is called Last Paw and thats all I would like on the blank template.

Hi forumadminoflastpaw. I'd be happy to add your forum's name to the Mt. Dew's banner. I hope it's okay that I do it on Thursday as I am on my iPad right now.

I'm not a coder so I don't really understand CSS/HTML myself. My themes contain what I would describe as simple changes to the template that I've gotten on the ProBoards Support forum and from a member here on this forum. That being said I'd be happy to help you with whatever I can. I do feel very comfortable in a theme's Visual Editor and Stylesheet sections so if you have any questions just ask.

Here's your banner forumadminoflastpaw,

Last Paw / Mt. Dew banner

If you wanted it without the bubbles let me know and I'll make you a new banner.

You're going to want to upload this banner to the theme instead of showing it through a hosting site like PhotoBucket. The thread that I've posted here tells you step by step how to do this. If you need any additional help don't hesitate to ask.

I have tried several times to change the banner and it keeps going back to Mt. Dew so is there another trick to getting the banner up? And I love the banner by the way! I want you to keep the bubbles. It makes it more eye catching and makes people wanna look at the forum. Anyway I also wanna know something. Atm the theme is set to Yay but there is another named Yat as well and its the same theme. Do I switch themes?

There's no trick forumadminoflastpaw to uploading the banner. But it can be a bit confusing if you aren't familiar with the process.

Tell me what step you were able to get to. Did you copy the new banner to your desktop?

Just a side note. Make sure when you are in a theme's Images section that the theme you want to make changes to is what's selected in the pull down. The pull down is under Theme Settings. Where it says Current Theme make sure the theme you want is what's showing in the pull down.

As for your Yay and Yat themes. To change the theme for you go to Profile > Edit Profile > Settings. Choose the theme you want in the pull down and click the Save Changes button.

If you want a theme to be the default theme go to Admin > Themes > Theme Manager. Hover over the theme you want as your default and click Make Default. This will be the theme that shows for anyone viewing your forum that hasn't signed in. For members that have selected a theme prior to your change, they will continue to see their choice when signed in.

Let me know if any of that helps.

Edited to add: I've added images to the How to change a theme's banner thread. See if it isn't more helpful now. If you hover over any of the images they'll show at actual size.

See I get to the last thing and since my computer is so slow, it takes time to "save" but when I refresh the page the old banner shows back up. Am I suppose to put it in the background one as well?
