I am attempting to make a Web page for the Lazy Lounge, where you'll have to click on a link to enter the forum, I have followed the How to but am obviously doing something wrong as My web page isn't showing!
You must give the (myfree/myfast/myfine)forum.org link to your forum. A link should be given to the problem if at all possible. Do this whether you think it is important or not.
Making it clear where you expect us to see the link would help.
Louise
My Link is in My signature in the form of a banner.
clicking on your links takes me to your index clicking on that takes me too your forum
Louise
Well Now I'm confused, cos when I click on my Link, I'm taken straight to my forum
Symon
clear cookies cache etc
admin (no pm's please)
I still don't get where this link is meant to be?
The link given is already direct to the forum, hence unless someway is writing code with javascript and cookies then they will be straight on the forum page.
Aaaah right, Thanks very Much for your Help Symon.x
Louise
The WWW did indeed Link to my webpage But, didn't then direct into the Forum, so I'll stick with the Index/html at the end.

Ah maybe crossed wired here, if you want an auto redirect , then it would be a different code than above, as i thought you wanted a clickable link
Louise
Maybe I haven't explained myself well enough (more than Likely )
What I want is so that, when members Click on the Forum address, they are taken to the webpage, then they have to click on THAT to enter the forum
Symon
when you say forum address , which one ?
the way you have said that , will make any members clicking on http://yourforum.myfreeforum.org be redirected to your web
page of www.yourforum.myfree.org , just for them to be redirected back to your forum, and you end up going in circles.
I Think I'll stick with the added bit at the end of the address, ast least that works for me.
I don't want it to just direct itself after a few seconds, I want the members to have to Click there way into the forum
So I had the right code anyway right?
Sorry Symon. Am I giving you a headache? . . . Cos I'm giving myself one!
Another Thing, there seems to be a white Border around the page,How to I make that Navy or to match the template ?
Louise
I only have One Problem left before I'm Done Now,You will see that I have made my webpage and a template for it, By using my overall header Code and editting bits out But I have an Advert at the top, Could someone Please tell me what I have to edit out of my code to get Rid of that please?
There also appears to be a bigger space at the top of the image thatn there is below it, How Can i rectify that please?

I've actually sorted The spacing Problem,
I just have the advert to get rid of now.
Louise
Looking again at My coding, Most of it probably isn't needed But I don't want to risk taking out too much, If I caould just Know what controls that Light Blue bit at the top with the advert, So That it can be removed, Leaving the darker Blue to cover the whole page.
admin (no pm's please)
I am not sure what advert you mean, there seem to be two, the google ads that you cannot tamper with and some "top sites" thing.
Louise
I'm Not meaning on top of the Forum, I mean on the top of my webpage.
I have editted my code some more and Now have But That Annoying Little Bit is still at the top.

Symon, Hopefully You will Know what Look I'm trying to achieve as You have the same Look on The Farnorough Invincibles site.
You have the Black, covering the WHOLE screen, with NO adds or white Border around it and the clickable image in the centre.
I am trying to get the same But with me Blue template background covering the whole screen, with No ad at the top.
Louise
I've rectified the Border By Editting the marfins to 0 But i STILL have an advert at the top of the webpage . . . . Is that meant to be there?
admin (no pm's please)
Are you talking about the google advert, the ones that pay to keep the system running?
Louise
This is what I mean. (Example of My webpage Below)
I understand that adverts are on the Forums themselves as they help keep the place Running But should they be on my webpage too?
Only I see From Looking at The Farnborough Invincibles Site, That they too have the ads on the Forum But NOT on the webpage.
Symon
I have the adverts on the webpages, however on the flash page only i have not, this was under agreement with Admin though.
Louise
Thank You, That's all I wanted to Know . . . I thought I had done something wrong . . lol!
I can Now go and Unveil it to My members.
admin (no pm's please)
It is possible if you really feel the need to beat the ads on web pages, and unlike on the forums we are less strict about it.
Asking is always nice though!
Louise
Well, I'm asking Nicely . . . .Pretty Please, How do I remove the ads from My webpage?
Here's My code.
Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<style type="text/css">
/* This is the border line & background colour round the entire page */
.bodyline {background-image: url(../bg.png); background-color: #4E647F; border: 8px #000044 solid; }
--></style>

admin (no pm's please)
The ads go after the body tag, no body tag no ad.
Louise
I'll leave it Thanks, I've tried But I can't see Body Tags, I've tried editting Various bits, Body Colour,Body Text etc . . . the nearest I got was No add But an ugly white Border around My webpage and a red Trim around My Image, I've spent enough time trying to figure it out for one day, Thanks anyway..x
