Does anyone know how to change a spot icon/banner if you didn't make the spot??

can you only do it if the spot maker isnt active anymore?

There's two answers: what you can do, and what you should do.

You CAN ask to have the logo and banner changed to any club at any time, regardless of activity, and the staff may oblige you. This is considered troll behavior pretty much universally, however.

This has been discussed a fair amount in link. It's not universal, but the general feeling is that you SHOULD do something like this:

1. You make the icon and/or banner.

2. You post it in the image section.

3. You start a message thread in the forum, for discussing the change. In that forum thread, you also point to #4 & #5, below.

4. You post a pick with an end date, asking users to vote to keep the original icon or to change to the new one.

5. You post a pick with an end date, asking users to vote to keep the original banner or to change to the new one.

Note: the end date should be long enough to allow for enough fans to respond, but not ongoing. 2-4 weeks is probably good.

6. If the users vote to make a change to the icon and/or banner, send a message to the staff (using the "contact us" feature) with:
a) the name of the club
b) the URL(s) of the completed picks, showing that users wanted the change
c) the URL of the new icon
d) the URL of the new banner

7) The staff makes the change.

Yeah, it's not going to happen right away. There's four guys supporting the entire site.

Only the person who created the spot can replace or change the icon/banner. If the spot maker is no longer active, you can message fanpop for an approval, though, I don't know if you can.

I`d suggest you to:
1)Make sure the spot creator is not active.
2)Either make 2 picks with possible new banners/icons.
3)OR message papa. [Just go to his profile page and pm him] - but i suggest you should do this only if the members aren't active either.

Ok..good luck. BUT keep in mind that it might take him a day or 2 days to respond. It usually doesn't take that long but it depends.
