    @phenomlab without taking every idea from yourself…

    The banner effect that you have in place was it easy to do?

    This is something I wanted to do originally with photos, but the general look and feel of the wide banner effect with the font on does look really impressive.

    I’m wondering if it would look any better than what I currently have?

    @jac Easily done, but it’s not entirely “simple” ⚠

    This is the CSS that handles that

    .Hero {
        background: #8A8C8E;
        position: sticky;
        left: 0;
        right: 0;
        margin-left: -50vw;
        margin-right: -50vw;
        width: 100vw;
        z-index: 500;
        padding-top: 10px;
        margin-top: -20px;
        margin-bottom: 30px;
        height: 70px;
        color: #ffffff;
    }
    ul.PageHero-items li {
        list-style: none;
        text-align: center;
    }
    .PageHero-title {
        vertical-align: middle;
        font-size: 3rem!important;
        color: #ffffff;
        font-family: Poppins;
        display: inline-block;
        margin-left: 15px;
        max-width: 800px;
    }
    h2.PageHero-title::after {
        display: flex;
        margin: -10px 0 0!important;
        font-size: 2rem;
        font-weight: 300;
        -webkit-background-clip: text!important;
        -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
        background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#fff,#aaa);
        line-height: 2.0;
        font-family: poppins;
    }
    

    You’ll then need a global widget with this code

    <header class="Hero PageHero">
    <div class="container">
    <ul class="PageHero-items">
    <li class="item-title">
    <h2 class="PageHero-title">{title}</h2>
    </li>
    </ul>
    </div>
    </header>

    @jac That’s caused by the recent cards plugin, which is being loaded first. You’ll need to remove or re-position that widget

    @phenomlab Thanks mate, I’ve been trying to rearrange it so the recent cards widget falls under the banner.

    @jac Not hard to do (potentially) but it would mean changing the loading order of the plugins. Let me have a look.

    Many thanks mate.

    I think the issue falls as one widget is global and the other is situated under categories.

    @jac Unfortunately, no. It’s the loading order of the plugin. I’ve changed it, but it doesn’t seem to have any impact, so the only “fix” is to remove the recent cards widget or place it elsewhere.

    Thanks for trying mate.

    That’s fine with me for it to be placed elsewhere.

    @jac Ok. If you check your site, you’ll see it’s been moved to drafts for the time being so won’t be displayed.

    @phenomlab Thank you, is there any way to change to a bolder font? or does this include google fonts again? I do have one in mind but need to add it.

    Yes, you need to target the text itself - see below (900 = heavy, 600 = bold, 400 = standard, 300 = light)

    .PageHero-title {
        font-weight: 900;
    }

    @Panda Just circling back here with something of an update (which I think you’ll like). I’ve completely restructured the ranking system. There are now less ranks, with a higher point threshold to reach them. More importantly, if you reload the site, you’ll notice that the ranks are now icons. I also removed the “Author” badge, and made this a single icon, which (to me) looks much better.

    @cagatay You’d target the body tag and use the below line of CSS background: url(/assets/customcss/backgrounds/default/default.png) no-repeat center center fixed; Obviously, you need to change the path to suit where your image is being stored.

    @DownPW the ‘js’ code for the banner takes the time from the client, so what it displays really depends on the regional settings for the operating system. I’ve not seen this issue myself but would like to see some examples of screenshots if possible.

    @phenomlab said in How to set a signature in NodeBB?: @jac No issues at all with copying. This is set using the signature for the user you are posting as. In the case of Hostrisk, it’s set like the below [image: 7bf04183-f6e8-4d72-b0eb-c9a05c9cd24b-image.png] You can set the signature by using https://domain.com/user/theuser/edit Mamy thanks Mark, I’ll set this up later .
