Hey dude, thanks for help. I know CSS but I've never changed css this way and so duh stupid me, I just had to do the id #header and change its background-image value.... I guess this "stylesheet" automatically replaces same code in local.css just try this::

//#header { background-image: url(%%name%%); }

without the slashes!

Also, you should be able to link to an outside link to a banner of your choice...but then instead of %%link%%, you would put in "url" of the jpg or png inside the parentheses ....

Thanks for your help too.

After going through my subs, I feel like the problem is related to 2 things. One may be the size of the banner. Many of my banners are of different sizes. I didn't keep track of which worked, which didn't, and what the banner image size was. But I could. The other thing that I suspect has more to do with it is the positioning of the banner. For many of my banners I just commented out the banner-position and while the image doesn't line up, at least you catch a corner of it.

I would be willing to pin it down more definitively if I heard back from /u/magnora7 and/or /u/d3rr and got a little help on it.

I'm not in a hurry, obviously, but it's about time I got my act together on this front, regardless of the reasons, and made them all presentable.

well it does make sense that you can't fit an elephant inside a shoe box lol... If you put some like this background-size:100% 100%; then you gonna get some distortion in height or width depended on the pic. maybe try setting width to 100% and height to auto...

It worked great before. I intentionally created extra large banners.

1) On my browsers I shrink the text to 80% or usually 90% to see more on my screen. This leaves a graphic gap that looks terrible.

2) Instead of making day mode and night mode banners I made banners with a light and dark end, often with the main shared interest in the middle. Then I'd position each accordingly in the code.

If large banners are the problem I can correct. If positioning is a problem I can correct. I just don't understand what the issue(s) is/are.
