Banner system

**TosaInu** · 07-16-2007, 20:45

Hello,

This is about a new option and is not related to the current bannersystem, that one can not be removed either.

The banner is currently only activated in The Citadel, in some limited way too. That's one of the nice parts: it can be activated per forum and each forum can have it's own set. The Citadel is about M2TW, so it has 'banners' to M2TW sections, the hosted mods for M2TW. It's using only 1 image now, but each ad can have it's own image, ALT and link. I think 500*75 will be a good size, but that can be made a bit leaner, maybe positioned somewhere else.

The RTW forum could get banners to the RTW mods.

I like some feedback about the size and placement and then we can have some ad and short descriptions for the mods.

Cool idea. Don't know if I like the placement of the banners right now though, but I don't know where else to put them that'd work fine. Also, the ones right now are pretty bland, if that's going to be done then some good relevant spammy banners for each mod would be far more enticing to click on, and they should perhaps lead to some good summary FAQ pages about each mod/section. I do realize this is a work in progress, that's just my

to throw in.

Cheers

Hello Wacker,

Yes, the current ones are a quick job to get an idea. Each mod will have its own (modding teams have good artists).

The banner is moving the whole forum 75 pixels down at the moment. It should be possible to move it into the already available room (am working on another feature, will look at that in a bit).

Tosa, maybe stick it to the right of the "Posting Rules" chart? Also if anything it might stand to be a bit bigger, as to give folks a little bit more flexibility on what they can put in the banners?

Cheers,

Tosa, Can you explain the new link Add post to favorites?

Such may indeed be good Whacker. It may allow bigger banners, while not pushing the topics too much away.

I'm looking forward to the banners you're putting in the Backroom.
