Hey, great job Marianne Marlow. That looks so much better. Well worth your persistence. Thanks to OP, too, for your guidance. You can let the GIMP free from his ball gag and chains now, Marianne, and give him a well-earned coffee break. Was the original artwork in need of resizing, or was it something to do with placement from within the Proboards software?

It was a set as a logo and not a banner Stace.
There are so many options when you go into the admin panel, menus within menus..

But I also had to update the height after I changed it to a banner and also enter some code to make it clickable so that it returns to home page..

Others do it so much better. My effort would look childish and awful!

Well, Marianne Marlow and samwiseg. I think the new banner is just smashing. A big bunch of beautiful budgies basking in the balmy summer sun.

Not to mention the lovely little rainbow as a quiet nod to our dear departed ones over at rainbow bridge.

We will never know Marianne unless we see a sample. Sometimes the more simplistic a design is the better it is for a banner. Go on have a go you know you want to.
