[Xdqwerty]

I heard not only patrons can have profile banners.

I was asking about how non patrons can add banners

I would have assumed if you could add a banner, it would be the exact same way. It wouldn't make sense to have separate menus.

Well I can't find that option

Then I would assume it's a patron-exclusive feature lol.

Having a look at the original post it seems it was announced as one: https://gbatemp.net/threads/support-gbatemp-and-browse-ad-free-more.600852/

Maybe you should ask them how they did it then? lol

You need to have Patron perks to add a custom banner.

They don't know how they got a banner

That option just appeared on my profile a long time ago, I don't remember exactly when it was but probably over a year ago (perhaps an administrator can get that information). I never paid much attention to it after I added my banner for the first time since I rarely customize my profile and I thought everyone also had it, until today when I noticed there's no option in there anymore, not even to remove it.

If I remember correctly it was a bug after the XenForo upgrade to version 2. This allowed *all* members to add such a banner but this has been changed.

Just pay a bit if you want such things.

Spoiler: personal note

And I won't see it anyway.

In that case I think it should be removed from my profile then.

You think so? Well @Nikokaro wasn't very happy with the removal.

If you'd like it can be, but it'd just be you losing something. and it's probably better to think of it is as grandfathered into the current system.

As usual, he complains about everything that comes to mind. But, with all that aside, I think it would be a great idea if GBAtemp would allow users to add their own custom banners. Not a lot of people pay for Patron perks.

Conversely I think GBAtemp would like more people to pay for Patron perks lol. Every little helps in keeping the site running, and it's not like Patrons really get much for it. Small perks that don't really take away from the experience of the normal user are the best fit for such a thing.

I like the patron perks I get. Feels balanced to me.

I like Patron perks as well. You get loads of amazing customization to your profile. If I have any leftover money then I donate some of it to GBAtemp.

I'm on the pay annually plan. Works for me so I don't have unexpected monthly charges.
