Create and order member banners
Where: Admin → Members → Accounts → Group banners
Before you start
A banner belongs to a group; creating a banner creates that group. Display artwork does not itself grant category access. A primary group affects presentation; membership permissions remain additive. Remove picture returns the banner to its normal strip.
Step by step
- Choose New banner; enter its group name, label, colour, icon and display role.
- Save the banner first.
- Upload an optional Banner picture (PNG/JPEG/WebP/GIF up to 4 MB). A picture replaces the coloured strip.
- Set Show banner and Order, then save. Assign members through Groups & permissions.

Check a member card and a topic byline in desktop/mobile views. Confirm text is readable and access is unchanged.
Common questions and troubleshooting
No banner: check group membership and Show banner. Wrong image: upload replaces the previous image; use Remove picture to clear it.
