Is LandyVlad actually running this theme somewhere? All I see on his Drone site is a background which he added previously, and a broken logo. I'm assuming I'm looking in the wrong place??

Yeah just saw this - didn't know a theme file was ready per se ?
Consider me as stupid and point me to the theme file please.

Its strange the logo doesn't work when I'm not logged in, but when I am logged in, it appears !  I have no idea why that could be...

That's because you added a url to an attachment for your logo. ;) Probably guests can't view attachments. I would probably add the image somewhere, like your theme's images folder, and point to that.

It's a gallery image rather than an attachment but yes may be a permissions issue.
Your idea makes sense but as I'd want to use the logo with every theme I may offer, where would be the most logical place to put it do ya reckon?

just make a new folder in the forum folder, call it /images/

then place this url in your current theme.... Administration Center ►  Themes and Layout ►  Theme Settings

Theme Options and Preferences> Logo image URL:

  I was basing off the url you used, which looks like some sort of attachment to me. index.php?action=dlattach;topic=13.0;attach=13;image  If it's a gallery image then I've no idea where you got that from.

I mean for example, the url should look more like this, https://www.droneflightforum.com/gallery/1_07_02_19_10_50_06.png
which will give you this,

Or this,

Will give this,

Thanks Les. I was just trying to give an example of the sort of url that needs to be used, rather than the one @LandyVlad is using, as that doesn't work.  I've no idea where he got that from. lol..

LandyVlad

So this is the image in my gallery.

You cannot view this attachment.

So where I got

https://www.droneflightforum.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=13.0;attach=13;image
from is anyone's guess !

anyway I have now changed it to
https://www.droneflightforum.com/gallery/1_07_02_19_10_50_06.png

which should give just that logo. So I'll have a look.  Cheers

OK so that worked.
You cannot view this attachment.

I then tried

https://www.droneflightforum.com/Themes/Drone/images/theme/logo.png

which naturally also worked.
You cannot view this attachment.

Now to compare those two logo images and try to determine the difference !

The new looks like this...

Personally, I like the 2nd one. However, I think the background that Les made that has the drone on the background image completely to the left of the forum works better cause it would not be competing with the drone in the logo. In both of these images above the drone in the logo seems to be competing with the drone on the background image.

LandyVlad

Yes, where the drone is in relation to the logo (that is, whether there is an overlap) depends on the degree to which the screen is zoomed.

Unfortunately if I zoom out far enough to make the ratios work, then I start running into issues with tiling (and text too small for me to read). :(

So yeah I agree, kinda.
