Need a Banner for my Forum

[Jake24]

Hello, I was just wondering, is their anyone that wouldn't mind making me a banner for my forum? it's http://www.off-topic.proboards.com and im pretty new to this forum, so do I pay in Forum credits or something? I think I saw someone doing that but I wasn't too sure.

Some members make graphics for members for very little cash, you'd be suprised. some just like helping out the community.

You may want to explain a little in what you want. Like colors, Text, size, and such?

And, FP Cash is easy to make here, just post around, and you'll earn Cash very quickly.

I'll personally donate 50 Cash for anyone who makes your banner for you 😉

Thanks! and I would probably use the Gazzarelli Font, as for color purple text, and a black background, Im not looking for something amazing but basically something that looks like it was done in a more professional program than paint -D-

How wide would you like it? ~smile~

 

[hcfwesker]

Jake24, If you want the banner to fill the full width, i have a proboards code, that will move the private message text underneath the banner, like it is on my forum. i'm proboards, too 😉

 

[Jake24]

That would be great.

Murder, I'd recommend one at 200 X 800

Make sure you copy and past the entire code

Ok, Put this code in your

GLOBAL HEADER

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
/* move hey x... by elindir */

var pos="0"; // 1 for above buttons, 0 for below

var pclass='titlebg'; //Class of the Box

//Do not edit below
var table = document.getElementsByTagName("table");
var iPM = table[0].insertRow(2-pos).insertCell(0);
var td = document.getElementsByTagName('td');
var PM= td[2].innerHTML;
td[2].style.display="none";
iPM.innerHTML='<table class='+pclass+' width="100% cellspacing="1"><tr><td width="100%"><center>'+PM+'<\/center><\/td><\/tr><\/table>';
// -->
</script>

And, trust me, on this, it'll downsize the width, if you don't like the code you can remove it. But, i'll close off alot of empty space. put this in your

GLOBAL FOOTER

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var fWidth = '800';

var table = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
for(t=0; t<table.length; t++) {
    if(table.item(t).width == "92%") {
        table.item(t).width = fWidth;
    }
}
// -->
</script>

wow, thanks. I'm trying to decide which way it looks better, the new way looks pretty neat because it's more compressed, but im still not sure.

 

[hcfwesker]

you can always change the code

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var fWidth = '800';

where it says 800 , you can make it a little wider. I believe PB's default width is 925 ... so you could try 825, or 850, and see how that looks

Not sure about how big you want it?

Where would I put the code in? and how could I make it smaller so I could submit it on someones site to affiliate? and thanks for making it by the way.

 

[hcfwesker]

Ok, goto your Admin panel. then, select "skin / forum colors" , from there, select "Modify Skin" chose the default skin, or the skin you're using ... then

place the url link in the banner field

http://i39.tinypic.com/16i7n7.gif

should be somewhere in the top 5 fields where you edit your skin.

And, you'll have to get a separate image made for an affiliate button. you'll want an 88 X 31 image size made

like this

 

[Jake24]

Thanks hcfwesker, sorry for all the questions.

 

[Bapinder]

You can upload the image else where if you like. Also remove the Home after the banner as it has no effect.

 

[Jake24]

Ok, and I have the 88x31 image, but how do I make it link to the site?
