Logo Restrictions

[Ayana]

I noticed on the logo manager that it does not specify the size restrictions or the file size. It just says...

Allowed File Types:
Maximum Logo Size: KB


Could you fill in the blanks for me?

I don't think that there is a logo file size restriction. Freeforums.ca provides unlimited storage and bandwidth. After all, it's only a logo. How large can it possibly be?

Cheers

Actually, I tried uploading a bunch of sizes and it seemed to cap out at 608 x 102. You can upload it bigger than that, but it will auto resize it down to this.

Sorry, we don't known because the maximum size of your logo depend on the size of the default logo of that theme.

Have you tried hotlinking your logo instead of uploading it? I'm not sure that it will make a difference but it just might.

I've tried both ways of uploading a logo, and the size always caps out at 608 x 102. But that's just fine. It doesn't need to be any bigger than that.

Right now I have a transparent gif in there until I get a proper one made. Once I have it up though, I would like it to be centered. Is there any way I can do that or do I have to request it? If I have to request it, I'll do it when I post it up.

D'oh! Some of the theme CSS styles have the logo attributes set to max width, max height, or auto. You can edit your theme if you know basic CSS, it should let you upload the larger logo that you wanted and "yes" you can most certently center it. I don't know how I missed that before sorry. Anyway, here's a video that you can watch on simple HTML and CSS, it will help you understand how to edit the style codes of your themes.

After you watch the video, go to your ACP and edit your theme. Look for the line where the logo tag is (see example below) and change the height, width, and position attributes.

#logo {
    float: left;
    width: auto;
    padding: 10px 13px 0 10px;
}

No problem

Yeah, when I signed up I was daunted by the fact that I know nothing about code. Lucky for me my fiance knows enough. He helped me get through the changing of my background to a picture tile than a simple colour. I figured the logo would be the same way. I'm learning though. Thanks to you guys.

I'll check out the video and see what I can do on my own.
