Header Banners in Sitebuilder

It would be nice if we could change the banner on different pages of the site in Site Builder.

I have uploaded my banner image OK but the same image shows on every page. I would like to be able to have image #1 on the home page and image #2 on other pages and even image #3 on other pages.

For example www.mustsellrightnow.com
On the home page I would like the banner to be without the car. I have the image. On the Real Estate tab I would like a home in the image where the car is. Again, I have the image. While on the Aviation tab I would like to have an airplane where the car is. The banner that is loaded is obviously for the Auto tab.

If this is available I cannot find out how to change it.

I am very happy so far with Hostgator.

First, HG doesn't have anything to do with Sitebuilder--it's offered as a complimentary extra to customers.

Second, the purpose of Sitebuilder is to be a limited-option method of constructing a site. Its proprietary code displays pages based on the user's inputs, and it's not really designed for people who want anything beyond its scope.

Hence the reason this is in the SUGGESTION BOX!

FIRST
Hey BTW welcome aboard to Hostgator I hope you are enjoying your decision to join our service. We are the best !!!!!




SECOND
For crying out loud do you crawl everyones behind on the first question that is asked after they join the forum?

[gwyneth]

Perhaps somebody could explain to Car Guy why his/her responses were somewhat distressing. I'm going to spin wool for a few hours and re-consider this internet thing.

No need for explanation..

Could you look up CUSTOMER SERVICE in Websters.

If you do not like you job, go spin some wool and do something your good at, because it sure isn't customer service!

So I suppose the "Suggestion Box" is for dust collection??

[GvilleRick]

If you look through the forum you will find that Gwyneth and many other users are willing to volunteer their time to help folks in here. The forum is a peer support option. I didn't see her response to you as "crawling your behind." It seemed more to me an attempt to warn that there are shortcomings to Sitebuilder so that you would know the limitations before you moved further ahead.

Welcome to the forum. Lose the attitude and I suspect you will find users here very willing to help.

And suggesting to HG that changes be made in SiteBuilder is like suggesting to HG that changes be made in WordPress or Joomla. HG didn't create SiteBuilder, and doesn't really have any control over what's in it. They just offer it as a freebie with your account.

I did not know sitebuilder was not a part of HG.

Good grief people this is a suggestion box!

Pardon the hell outta me for suggesting something in the suggestion box.

Please remove me as a forum member and remove every post I have made on this forum.

[EarlyOut]

Now don't go getting all huffy. A few forum members have simply explained why your suggestion, good as it is, probably won't get you where you want to go. Now you know more than you did an hour ago, which is a good thing, right?

I am not all huffy and I am not upset. I just think the response was uncalled for.

How the hell was I supposed to know that Sitebuilder was not owned or managed by HG.

Your right I know more now than I did an hour ago.
What I know now is NOT to suggest something in the suggestion box.

I have asked for my account to be removed. I certainly don't need this sort of response to what I felt was a damn good suggestion. I have better things to do with my life than to "spin wool'

cheers

I'm outta this place!

[EarlyOut]

Some people just enjoy high dudgeon. They choose to intepret polite replies as some sort of assault. Best of luck.

[striddy]

Good suggestion, but unfortunately an extremely poor attitude.

That is totally uncalled for. An apology is in order.

You were told that fact in gwyneth's first reply before your first rant.

There was nothing untoward in gwyneths post.

[rota919]

Now lest take a step back and look at things calmly.

Facts:

HostGator Peer Support Forums > Public Forums > Suggestions

Gwyneth's avatar says "Peer Support"

Peer = "A person who has equal standing with another or others, as in rank, class, or age"
(thefreedictionary.com)

Sitebuilder banner = "Parallels Plesk Sitebuilder"

You asked a perfectly valid question.

.... If this is available I cannot find out how to change it.

Gwyneth replied with a perfectly valid answer.

...HG doesn't have anything to do with Sitebuilder...
...the purpose of Sitebuilder is to be a limited-option method of constructing a site...

You reply in red capitals

Hence the reason this is in the SUGGESTION BOX!

What follows are in general just a rant showing your ignorance.

Now can you honestly say this was the best method to introduce yourself to your peers?

You remind me of my X Wife....
"I feel like having an argument today.... Don't know about what but lets give it a go anyway..."

A bit of politeness will get you a long way...

Steve, I hope you will change your mind as HG is a top-notch hosting company. If I were new here and had my perfectly legitimate question as a new-comer answered with a "First" and "Second", I might also be tempted to view this as a hostile or "less than warm" response, much like having someone point their finger in your face the whole time they are "lecturing" you. And then to top it off someone else follows up with a reply comparing you to their ex-wife... how inappropriate!

While I am perfectly happy with HG, I have avoided their forum like the plague because of the hostile, butt-inski and know-it-all attitude of some of their "regulars". My suggestion is give HG a shot because of their excellent service and then join the forums of other providers to dialog with others and ask questions. Also try sending your questions to tech-support or live support as HG support reps have always been courteous and professional when I have had to contact them.

I fully agree. How dare people who actually know something butt in, and try to respond to posts in a straightforward way! It's an outrage, I tell ya'.

Would you really?

WEGO508, there's no question that Car Guy made a perfectly legitimate suggestion, and nobody posting in this thread has had any issue with his first post (the suggestion).

I take my responsibility as Peer Support Leader very seriously.

Over the years, I think I've gone to some lengths to tell newbies there's no such thing as a stupid question, and that confusion is natural. I've also suggested a forum category ("Post sales questions"), for the very purpose of welcoming and providing help to newcomers, particularly if they haven't been activated.

The last thing I'd want to do is offend a new member of our community.

However, I also realize that in communications, it's not what you mean to say or how you say it that's the bottom line, it's how the recipient perceives your message. So I've got no problem apologizing for saying anything stupid, offensive, clumsy, or that otherwise bothers the recipient, no matter how far that might be from what I intended.

But since yesterday, I've read, reread, and read again the first four posts in this thread trying to understand what went wrong.

The only possibility I see in my first post, the one that drew two very angry posts in response, is writing 'first' and 'second'. I would gladly apologize for those but I'm afraid that would sound sarcastic and set things off again. (And by the time he encountered my reference to 'spinning wool', he was probably too upset to consider that I meant it literally...which I did.)

I do think that Car Guy's point about 'welcome to the forum and HG' is good (in tune with the idea of a "post-sales questions" category).

But--in response to what sounds like your own concerns about this forum--I'd also like to stress the distinction between 'ignorance' and 'ignorant' (as in attitude). In almost four years of reading forum posts here (and a year and a half as co-PSL), I have never seen a poster's lack of knowledge draw a hostile or condescending response, only his or her attitude or approach.

So anyway. Fred, I think the OP meant the Sitebuilder on regular shared accounts, not the Plesk Site Builder which I believe is available on the Windows servers. Ex-spouses are probably too inflammatory, and mentioning them tends to move the subject to the poster, not the post.

Everybody: this seems pretty binary and not something either side can convince the other about. Let's remember that opinions can't be right or wrong, only facts.

Car Guy (who probably won't see this): I was floored when you took my answer so far from the way it was intended. I hope you decide to come back--the forum really can help you do what you're trying to do with your site.

You are right it was inappropriate and a bad choice of words.

Gwyneth we posted at the same time.
I agree and I do not have any issues with appologising. I do not have any right to attact anyone on a personal level.
It wasn't ment that way but hell that was the way it came out in the end.

Then let's all have a and move on, more aware of the possibility of misunderstanding.
