AmberCutie forums banner

[EllaXoXo]

I originally posted this in the models only section, but then realized that we have a lot of creative, computer savvy guys here who might be able to help/guys who might want this info for their own profiles/websites... so posting it here instead

Would anyone would be willing to share the codes for a banner linking back here? I would love to advertise these forums on my profile, but being a computer and programming idiot, I have no idea how to do it myself. Would someone be willing to share their hard work in exchange for my love and the love of others who benefit?

A quick guide - your profile accepts html (if you mean MFC profile).

To make a basic text link:

<a href="urltogoto">Link that appears as text</a>

This is like the forums code

[url]Web address[/url]

Other forum software allows you to put in whatever name you like, as it takes the form name here

to make a basic image appear:

<img src="urltoimage" />

The image is "self closing" (the slash at the end). There is no <img></img> tag, it is all in one. Other tags like this is the "line break" (<br />)


To put them together to get an image which when you click on takes you somewhere.

<a href="urltowebpage"><img src="urltoimage" /></a>

This is really basic, there are lots of different attributes for html tags.
For anchor tags see:
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp

For image tags see:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_IMG.asp
Things like the alt attribute displays text when you hover over the image (so you may include alt="click this to go to the location" to your img tag).
You can also give it specific sizes (the image) but this may squash/alter the appearance of the image if you aren't changing it appropriate to scale (i.e a 800x600 image being told to be 200x50 will result in a weird stretched image!).

If you'd like more info, be real specific as to what you wish to achieve. There are tags to put it in the center (can't believe I'm using US spelling) of the page, change whereabouts it is, colour it, border it, blah blah blah.

For an uber basic banner you could copy and paste the following somewhere on your profile and maybe add an intro such as come get to know me better or something similar.

Sorry I didn't clarify! I originally posted this in the Models Only section, so I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that they would know I was talking about the models who have cool banners already made up with the logo that links directly here. Some example profiles are:

http://profiles.myfreecams.com/MilaMilanXXX

http://profiles.myfreecams.com/HotFlBabe

http://profiles.myfreecams.com/AluraCurvyBBW

Granted, these are all the same banner, but there are a few others out there as well.

I also wasn't sure how much text is involved, but I was thinking if we got the basic outline of it (even omitting our model names and instead just have it say, "Join me on AmberCutie's forums!" other people could easily just copy and paste it w/o having to put in a bunch of work. I'll play around with the ideas suggested so far, thank you!

Well, you need to make the image - so you want an image

Depending upon your profile colour scheme, you may need something entirely different. Essentially I think it's the forum banner up top that's been isolated, stuck on a black background, and had extra stuff added

Here's a quick chop job which you can save and play with.

For the html code once you've got the image:
<a href="http://www.ambercutie.com/forums/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/3028/amberslogo.png" alt="Amber's Forum" /></a>

This'll link here, with the image url I gave (obviously change as required).
It's transparent background, so should be suitable for most stuff - but was made for white (so it may not look good on black as I've no idea how "clear" the edges really are

There may be more (such as <center> </center> tags, or alternatively, align=center as an attribute... ). The target property specifies opening in a new window/tab (browser chooses).

You'll need someone with better image "skills" (and programs!) than me to make further adjustments. I use paint.NET (it's like paint, but with features more akin to Gimp and Photoshop...but nowhere near as good) because it is simple...like me

You guys/gals are free to make and use whatever you want to link back here. I love hearing about girls who find banners on other models' profiles and end up coming here to join the fun. The more the merrier!

I do believe that Mila Milian made the banners your speaking of. There's a topic for that, but she has been busy so IDK if she can answer about that or not.
