@ JJ: You still haven't removed <br/></div> from your global headers.
This tutorial is hurtful 
It makes me even sadder to see SI closed....I can't bare it!!! *runs to the corner and cries*
Sorry to hear that...
@ loganstorm: I'm actually not sure if that's possible, but I can mess around at my own test forum to see what I can do for you.

Smangii, I don't SEE a break. Here is a screenshot I just did of my header for the second background.
Is is possible Proboards is adding one for some strange reason for other viewers? I just went through all the codes and don't see a break anywhere. I just turned off disabled signups if you want to join and I will make you an admin.

Aha! I just checked the View Source and I see it. But trust me, it is NOT in my headers that I have access too.

...Didn't get your message? 
I'm online now.
I have a feeling this might be a PB error...

Great tutorial, Smangii! This is easily the most comprehensive PB tutorial I've seen, on any topic. Clear instructions, lots of visuals, and the great suggestions you made will help tons of PB users, new and old alike, create great skins.

Thank you very much

Very helpful guide Smangii. I've always wondered how my friends made such neat skins. I'm glad to have a guide to help me create my own clean looking skins without asking for their help. 
And is there a chance you might reopen SI at a later date? I understand the need for a break, I've been there myself. I'd love to see SI return when your muse creeps back.

I have no plans to as of right now. I'm just sort of "around" more now because I have had some free time. The board will always still be open for viewing, I just can't guarantee a response from me during times that I'm not here.

Smangii, how does someone know when they have an email waiting? I sent an pm to a member at the test site, but nothing is showing up as a notifier. Did I miss a step?
This doesn't have anything to do with the skin guide... right?
You can check in the Info Center, it should show you your PMs.
Also, there's a settings option to make a popup when you get a PM (It's under the PM Preferences)

Try finding a code for a PM bar, or an alternate method to show pms. There are tons

I have one, thanks, but it's not working compatibly with your button bar. I am working on it. At first it didn't show up at all but when I moved it to the top of the Header is clicked in. I just need to make new graphics in a proper size and figure out how to fit with your button size. I didn't know there were a lot of pm notifiers, that is news to me.
Try putting the code above the code in my guide that removes the default PM message.

I've said it before and I will say it again; You, kind soul, are a SANITY SAVER!!! Thanks so much!!! The colors were easy enough, but the photo placements were driving me to drink (and I don't mean water!) 
Your easy to read tutorial was a God-send!
Thanks MUCH! 8-)

Hi, I believe I found the solution to this, it was a simple typo on my part!

Read that thread for more info. Just remove the comma at the end

Great Tutorial - Very Helpful!! One question, I followed your guide and was able to replace the navigation tools on the menu bar to buttons I designed and shows up just fine on my home computer. However, if I view from my phone or co-admin's mac computer they just show up as text with no buttons. Any advice on what I could do to make them show up for everyone?Hi, I believe I found the solution to this, it was a simple typo on my part!
