Profile Banner

[Quattro Pete]

Obviously I must have missed it earlier, but I just noticed we have the ability to add a profile banner. That's a nice touch. Thanks, Wayne!

Yep I added mine awhile ago when I realized you could. I think it’s great.

Yes, it's definitely cool. But wish the uploaded photo would auto-size to the space for the banner.

Would it be possible to get the dimensions so we could size/crop them to fit?

1280 x 205 worked for me.

Excellent, added!

Unless the uploaded image is proportional to the req'd dimensions, it could never be done reliably. Images that people typically have are relatively "square" while this banner needs to be what, 5-6x wider than tall ?

It could work like Facebook, Linkedin, etc where it allows any size image and then forces the user to position it within the cropped size. Even that doesn't work well.... Look at a lot of people's banner image on Facebook where all you see is their family's mid-section 'cause their legs and heads get cropped off.

It does that.

Yeah, I just had to play around and make a custom super wide version of the photo I used.

It does that.

Smart move of Xenforo to copy that concept
