How to add a header and background:

[madmatt621]

Because I've been in the middle of conversations of people who can't figure out how to add their header or background to their profile, I was like "What the hell" and decided to make a thread dedicated to that.

Step 1: Open up the front page of FFR Forums and click on "User CP" on the banner towards the top of the page.

Step 2: Under where it says "User CP" and "Options & Settings", click on "Your FFR Profile" and it'll take you to your profile.

Step 3: After your profile loads, look to the top right of your profile and you should see where it says "All Profile/Default - Style Editor". Click on that and a window will open. Whether you are opening a header or a background, you will have to upload it and it will have to be a max size of 960 x 200 px. If you want to delete your header or background to put up a new one, check mark next to where it says "Delete Header" or "Delete Background".

What's the size limit for backgrounds?

[GamerShadow]

Mine is something around 900 by 2000, and it lets me have it. So I am assuming no height limit?

[Summerschool]

No width/height limit, but it is automatically resized in proportion to max 900px X 200px. File size limit is 512KB.

Work on your spelling and grammar.

Could I make a tutorial on how to take a part of a background and edit exactly 960x200 out of it for a banner in Photoshop?

[Raveren]

For those of you who can't find the link after clicking CP, don't worry, those aren't necessary steps. Just go to your profile and start at step 3.

What's the size limit for backgrounds?

I know avatar is 200 x 200. For others, I have no clue.

[Kagami_Hiiragi]

[sapheroth40]

Thanks for the tips.

[hsbryda]

I know avatar is 200 x 200. For others, I have no clue.

dude you rule

[no_1_no3z]

yeah i have no idea what people are talking about but.........hi?

[Nightfirecat]

If you don't know what people are talking about, then ask.

I know avatar is 200 x 200. For others, I have no clue.

The limit for signatures is around 500x300... I don't remember--it says in the signature editor in the user control panel.
The banner size limit says that it's 960x200, but it's actually 942x200. The background has a width limit of 942, but no height limit, but it does have a size limit of 512kb, so it's usually a .jpg file.

[Abused]

Thanks For The Tips

[dean_machine]

Avatars and Signatures: please keep your signature to a maximum width of 500 pixels, and a maximum height of 250 pixels. Avatars must be no more than 200 pixels in height, and no more than 175 pixels in width.
This is what the forum rules has to say about avatars and signatures. The signature size is a please, but the avatar size is a must.

The backgrounds have been down for everyone for some time. All we have left to do is wait for the error to be repaired.
