FORUM SIGNATURE BANNERS.

1. Make your own banner but please ensure that it is no bigger than 750 (length) x 90 (width)
2. Once made,  Right click on the banner you like to copy the http image addresss ; 
3. Then paste it in the signature text box by right clicking and choosing the paste option. 
See instructions below.

TO POST A FORUM BANNER.

Remember the agreed size for a banner is 750 in length x 90 in height.

You have to post it at the correct way in the correct place or it won’t work.

Here's how:

1.  Make a copy (ctrl+c) of the "insert image" brackets  [img.]http://      [/img.]   (Remove the dots after the g in both brackets)

2. Go to your Forum profile.   

3. Then select: Forum Profile Information. You'll get a pic like this

4. Then at the signature section add your banner http or url address between the “insert image” brackets (Paste =  ctrl+V), just like in the pic is pointed at:  [img.]  HTTP address here    [/img.]   (Remove the dots after the g in both brackets)
(Copy = ctrl+C  ;  Paste =  ctrl+V)

*****************************************

5. If you use Flickr, you have to grab your banner url as HTML/BBCCode with HTML selected, it would look something like this :

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mr---lover/8869322458/" title="mrsl3 by gijoe027, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2826/8869322458_2faa65e4eb_o.jpg" width="750" height="90" alt="mrsl3"></a>

5a Then you have to extract your pic's url by deleting the things you don't need

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mr---lover/8869322458/" title="mrsl3 by gijoe027, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2826/8869322458_2faa65e4eb_o.jpg" width="750" height="90" alt="mrsl3"></a>

like this :    http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2826/8869322458_2faa65e4eb_o.jpg

5b  This is what you then post on your profile page in the signature box.


*******************************************

6.  If you use Imgur -  you get the http address by right clicking on the pic ; choosing "Copy Image address"   

6a.  This is what you then post on your profile page in the signature box.

7.  Save Changes to your profile & check your posts to see that it has taken.
