We are busy working on Freebiefridaysa.co.za. We are using Jomsocial trying to edit the template to suite our needs. At the moment we have the following two issues:
1. We want to move the Community toolbar for Socialize from above the header (top header) to next to the logo in the header. When we try to follow the steps provided - going to Extentions, modules, community toolbar for socialize and then choosing the position. When we choose the position, the toobar either stays where is currently is or it dispears. We cannot seem to figure out why the toolbar does not want to move next to our logo in the header. Please assist us in this regard.
2. We want to resize the banner on the profile page and we want to be able to change the photo in the banner. We did follow the steps by going to banners and then changing the settings. Once again when we changed the settings, nothing happened. We want the size of the banner to be similar to the size of the banner in your
sosialize.joomsocial.com/
website. Please assist us in this regard. Please also let us know how to change the size for future reference and how to changed the image.
3. We want to find out if we can move the logo in our header, to make it more central and if we can change the size of the logo. Please give us instructions on how to do this.
4. Is it possible to add a image or a video slideshow module into the Socialize Template V2 and what module do you recommend?
1. This will be rather complicated as toolbar was designed to have fixed positioning taking 100% viewport size. I'm sorry but we can't help you with redesigning it as it would be rather extensive customizations. We could help but only with small tweaks. Please, read our Support Policy - especially bottom remarks what we can support:
www.jomsocial.com/support
2. What banner on profile page do you mean? Do you mean profile cover? Could you provide printscreen and mark what banner do you mean?
3. This will require template customizations. Header consist of two divs:

One has 8 columns and second 4 (what give us 12 column grid).
So you may make them equal or create only one with 12 columns.
You'll need to customize this file: ROOT/templates/socialize/tpls/blocks/header.php
Then you may center logo image using css.
Be aware that those files will be overwritten during next template update.
Also this require at least basic html/php/css skills as we can't provide you step by step instruction how to rebuild the template. Again this will be a extensive customization - not an simple tweak.
4.Yes, you may add any module you like. If you asking for recommendation then the best way to ask it is in Community. There are many users that did similar things as you do :) They will share their experience for sure ;)

I am currently working on the Community Toolbar for Socialize Template. I was wondering how to get the sign up button (located next to the login button on the toolbar) to take me immediatly to the user registration when i click it. As it is now it gives me another login option which I don't want.

How do we change the privacy settings to make the public unable to see member's posts and to make members unable to see other members who are not their friends posts

Signup button takes you to login page... because of menu misconfiguration.
Your default menu item for JomSocial is "My Profile" created in main menu.
This menu item if for registered only.
So when trying to register Joomla! redirects you to register page... but using menu item ID of "My Profile"... and since it's for registered only you're redirected once again to login page.
I disabled that menu item and created publicly available Community menu item.
If you don't want to display it on your page - create new, hidden menu (menu thet is not assigned to any menu module) and move that menu item there.
To lock content for public:
1. Browse to Backend -> Components -> JomSocial -> Configuration -> Layout and change "Show Activity Stream" to "members only":

2. Browse to Backend -> Components -> JomSocial -> Configuration -> Privacy and set Profile Privacy to Friends... what you already did:
