Hello,
we just bought a custom theme and I am trying to figure out how to get the banner changed from Chosen Lords to our guild name. I have looked through out the folder for a blank jpg or psd file and have not found anything.
Any help would be appreciated. |

In there is the PSD for the header. |

When you edit it, do a File-Save for Web, choose HTML and IMAGES as the type.
Then upload the images that are created from that. |

no, i didn't. how does one do that?
when I right click on the current banner and save it shows just a portion of the banner. when I use the psd file, it's the full banner with the side and top pictures too |

Ok here are the steps.
1) Open the PSD
2) Change the text to what you want.
3) Do File Save for Web
4) Check the settings
5) Check The final settings
6) Go to where you saved the file, go into the images subdirectory.
7) Upload those images to themes/wowalliance2/images |

Thanks for the info...i really appreciate it.
When I get to the point to check the settings, I see 1 slice vs many that are shown in the screen shot above. I'm not sure what to do at this point. |
