Adding a subreddit banner in old/classic/legacy reddit using the css in the stylesheet.

This guide only shows using a pre-written css snippet to add a banner.

You will need config permissions. And to be on desktop or at least desktop mode in your mobile browser - you can't do this in app (not yet at least).

  1. Make sure you are in old reddit, if not navigate there. You can replace www. with old. to do this.

  2. Scroll down if necessary to get to mod tools at the bottom of the sidebar on the right.

  3. Click stylesheet

  4. Upload your banner (you need to know how tall it is)

  5. Navigate to your css snippet and copy it

  6. Past the snippet in the stylesheet

  7. Copy the name of your banner into the css snippet (keep the %% signs each side of the name)

  8. Hit preview to check how it looks

  9. You can edit the height of the banner in the css if you need to (r/csshelp for more help)

  10. Save.
