I've had several help PM's and one here on the forum. I personally think that uploading the graphics from here and from elsewhere is better on Yuku,
and I'll tell you why.
Photobucket tends to downsize larger graphics, such as the banners that I make. Yuku doesn't unless it is greater than about 720 x 720 pixels. None of my graphics reach that size. Here is what you need to do:
1. In each of my skins there is a topic for the images used. Right click and save them to a folder in your documents, your pictures. Creating a new folder keeps them organized. That is what I do. I make a new folder, name it the name of the skin, and upload and save all the graphics there.
2. At the top of your navigation menu is a link for images. Click on that. If you haven't already done so, create a new folder and name it whatever you like.
3. Click upload image. You have 5 slots for images. Go to the folder where your images are saved and upload them. Repeat until everything is uploaded.
4. Click on the graphic--example--the banner or main graphic. Under the graphic you will see two links. The first one, Absolute Location, is the one you want to click on. The image will come up by itself on a new page. The address in the top of the bar is the image URL. Copy that.
5. Paste it into the corresponding place on your code.
6. Do the same for each of the tiles.
7. In your administration area, click on Design in the menu. The drop down will open to customized skins. Click on that. On the bottom, click on add new blank skin.
8. There are 3 boxes. Add the heading, which will be the banner, then the footer, which will be the linking logo, then the bottom box has the main code.
9. Hit save.
10. Go back in to custom skins and next to that untitled skin go to WYSIWYG. Hit that button. On the first tab is skin title. Name your skin. Hit save
11. Go back in to custom skins again. Next to WYSWIG is images. Upload your images there. Forum icons and topic icons are where the small icons go. Posting buttons is where the buttons for new topic, new poll, and new reply go. Hit save.
Each one of the smaller are how I set them up and are my suggestions. You can interchange the little graphic icons to your liking. For example, maybe you'd rather have one icon used as the closed icon rather than the one I am using. That's fine.
