perhaps instead of having the cover photo as a banner on every page and taking up so much space on our message page, we could have our group icon show at the top of the menu sidebar on every page.? Just the upper left corner, out of tge way of the messages. It would help personalize the group and make our group icon more visible.? ?
I have the sticky wiki page at the top of one of my groups as a banner,. Presently it is only a text statement of our mission statement, but using Bruce's suggestion, I may add the text to a photo and use that as the sticky wiki banner at the top of the pages.
Be aware that a photo or banner at the top of the page takes up space on the message page, so you may be scrolling more and turning pages more because of having it.
