Re: Change header picture

upload the image to Data\Sites\1\skins\styleshout.techmania

 

The other skins folder is not used, it's so you can have multiple sites with different skins

 

Also I would suggest to copy your skin of choice folder, and name this folder something else, like "altered" or some such, then load that skin, so the changes don't get overwritten if you update.

Re: Change header picture

Now i tried to copy Data\Sites\1\skins\styleshout.techmania to a new folder called styleshout.techmania.mine

and choose that in mojoportal. But when i saved my setting the site got all crazy and looked like a mess. Did i do anything wrong? CSS files missing?

 

Hope anyone can help.
