I just received a free Banner ad at http://www.ibpdownloads.com/. But we don't have a banner ad.

We need one. Anyone want to see what they can do for us?

As of right now I do NOT have the size specs. But I'm working on it. Don't think we'll get many hits from it but it's free, so...

728x90, less than 40k in size, probably.

Here's something I whipped up for us.


NO THANKS NECESSARY

make checks payable to cash though.

I'll happily whip something up if you can provide dimensions.

Still no dimensions.

Done and done.

Where did you find this information on their site?

I am guessing that Ame just went to the site and checked the dimensions of their fake ad.

Yes, but clicking that takes you to a page that does not let you upload a banner. Basically they want money and then don't give you the option to get what you paid for. Adding to that, I've asked the question as a response in similar threads and even started one of my own in the Introductions thread. They have 21,697 members and I have 23.08% of the posts on their entire forum today. Which is to say I've posted 3 times.

I think I got taken, but at least I'm going to get a copy of every one of their games 1 at a time.

Nice! Okay, the dimensions of the image has to be 468x60. I tried to use Paint to change the one GS did but then I can't read the writing.

Any PS or Paint gurus here that can help?

Here's the text I'm putting with the banner.

At Halforums, making banners is not our highest priority. We worry more about taking care of the clients who want a forum but not the pain that comes with moderation and hosting. Hope to see you there soon, too.

Hmm.. The description sounds like a joke where someone is trying to say something catchy, but it's overly long and winded.

But I can't think of much better.

Here's the resized banner:

Edit: How 'bout this?

"At Halforums, you probably shouldn't come to us for banners. What you SHOULD come to us for, however, is a community to host your forums without the hassle of moderating them yourself. Want to see what we're all about? Come say hello!"

Something along those lines. I'm not a writer though, so someone else should probably take a crack at it.

lol! ur attach deos not wurk, lrn 2 post, n00b!

Made a new one to fit the dimensions, just in case.

It's not my fault this forum's attach thingy doesn't fucking work. =P

Here's mine:

I like that one.

See writing short text to get your point across is really difficult

Seriously, that banner is hilarious.

How the hell do you imbed images in this new setup? It just keeps letting me "attach" things.

The image resizer is mucking things up. So we're looking for a different way of doing it. Currently our choices are REALLY BIG IMAGES or screwed up image links but they show.

img and /img tags work just fine for me.

hmm . . . no they don't. They did

Dammit Dave.

Wait, there I go. It helps that I used an image url.

Is the description for alt/title text or is there an actual description that gets loaded up next to the banner?

Yay it worked!

The banner is shoved way to the left and the test description goes to the right.

Just threw this together. Not actually a pitch. =P
