Common questions

Why isn’t my sponsor on the homepage?
Open the sponsor and its Placements tab: it says what’s missing. It needs a logo and a level, the sponsor can’t be hidden, and its level must be switched On the homepage on the Levels tab.
How do I change the order of the levels?
On the Levels tab, drag a level, use its arrows, or press Alt+↑/↓. The top level shows first, with the biggest logos.
Can I take a sponsor off the site without deleting it?
Yes: Hide on the sponsor keeps its record but takes it off your homepage and your sponsors page. A game it sponsors still shows it, so clear that game’s sponsor too. Show brings it back.
Can a sponsor present a game?
Yes. Set a game’s sponsor on its game record in Schedule. See Show a sponsor on a game.
Can I add more links?
Yes. Under Links on the sponsor, Add a link adds social or other links. Fans see them on the sponsor’s page.
