You can edit the overall_header.html file and put in what banners you want. But you do need to know html. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

All templates are html and all are different, hence there is no magic set of instructions anyone can give. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

creating an image link is rather simple with HTML. Although exactly where to put it and how you have to do it isn't easy to figure out unless people see the template themselves. If people here were to give you the code then we'd be doing the work for you, and not everybody is willing to do that. _________________ Harsh Reality - Unleash your creativity! Harsh Reality

Meaning we will guide you in the right direction. If we just post the code, then we have people that simply copy and paste, then others just copy and paste, and nobody learns how to do it on their own. And if other people copy and paste, and don't know what they are doing, they could crash their template without having any clue what they did. _________________ Harsh Reality - Unleash your creativity!

There are a few hundred templates installed, last I checked it was just over 160 of them and that was months ago.

I don't know each template.

Basically you need to know HTML, links and images are very basic HTML.

An image is created using this code:

Code:

(the height, width and alt are all optional, though alt is recommended)

and a link is just:

Code:

<a href="location the link leads to">text that is clicked</a>

and it's easy to put them together, just replace the "text that is clicked" with the image tag.

If you want it properly aligned you'll need to learn HTML to get it right. There are a lot of HTML tutorials and guides. htmlgoodies.com has a quick little tutorial.

Right, i've done it, now it's showing up as a text link to the image on imagehack, when you click it it takes you to where i wanted it to go, i just need to make the banner an image instead of a link now. Here is exactly what i put: _________________ Total posts 7591 \| Total topics 990 \| Total members 95 \| Our newest member Keith

that looks correct to me. I see an image that is a link. If you don't want the link then JUST use the image tag. _________________ Harsh Reality - Unleash your creativity! Harsh Reality

Yeah, but look at the top of my actual forum there is only a link, no banner. _________________ Total posts 7591 \| Total topics 990 \| Total members 95 \| Our newest member Keith
