    Hi Mark,

    How do get an image to show at the top of the the page? I think I discussed this in a previous thread or possibly this one, to have like Stockport fans at the top of the page or a big banner that reflects what the forum is about.

    @phenomlab yes but without copying, so possibly somehow different 😆. If not possible don’t worry.

    Have requested the logo from @katos and once the logo is added and a banner or something like what you sent me it will look fantastic!

    But believe me although your ideas are fantastic and what you can do to customise the look and feel etc really is brilliant but it is not my intention to copy everything so please accept my apology if it comes across that way Mark.

    But if possible with white writing if it makes it easier to see.

    There is also an issue with the page styling.

    Despite entering a new line the text wants to be bunched up together, I presume this is just an issue with the styling to correct it.

    After the first full stop it the second part should be understood in smaller font realistically.

    @jac I wrote a re-usable function for your forum that means it can be deployed anywhere - there are two choices - see below

    Option 1

    73de7026-20c3-4c13-97c7-26a085fee510-image.png

    Option 2

    7e0a0231-fa14-451b-a3f2-466a7c15980b-image.png

    This is set in the widget itself

    0c5176a2-b898-4bde-ae7d-e9afe8cc7628-image.png

    The two styles are custom and custom2 and they are interchangeable. Option 2 is currently selected.

    Absolutely fantastic mate, can’t thank you enough.

    All the current custom pages that I have created do it unfortunately. They seem to bunch the text together, it’s probably because I haven’t styled it.

    Sure…

    Basically I want to display fixtures, results, tables etc so I have created custom pages for them all.

    If you see here you’ll see that the text after the home fixtures & results in the widget is intended to display underneath the fixtures title but instead this just bunches up on the same line.

    @jac Ok. I see this currently

    49a3e371-87aa-4157-a140-f7a2932a835d-image.png

    The reason for this is that HTML markup can’t interpret a basic line break unless you tell it to do that with a <br> tag, so you need to remove the physical space and replace it with the line break code as shown below

    2edba587-c909-452b-9fd2-c278117f9910-image.png

    This will then show

    @jac sorry to be a pain.

    Is there any way to change the user links to a yellow colour mate? Or is this generically set in NodeBB?

    @jac You should use the h element for this (header). See below example

    @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.

    @riekmedia I’ve applied some new CSS to your site. Can you reload the page and try again ? For the record, this is what I added #footer { background: #2d343e; border-top: 4px solid #2d343e; font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 70px; padding: 80px 0 0; position: relative; clear: both; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; z-index: 1000; margin-left: -15px; margin-right: -338px; } The /categories page seems a bit messed up, so looking at that currently EDIT - issued some override CSS in the CATEGORIES widget <!--- CSS fix for overspill on /categories page - DO NOT DELETE --> <style> #footer { margin-right: -45px; } </style> That should resolve the /categories issue.
