Code: [Select]
<div align="center">
<a href="forum url"><img src="image url" alt="" title="Click here to return to the index!" /></a>
</div>There is also a code here for centering the banner in the Current Theme > Logo Image URL area
center banner in logo image url area (http://www.smfsupport.com/support/smf_for_free_codes/code_center_your_banner-t19588.0.html)

Yes but the banner would show up UNDER your forum instead of above where most banners go ;)

Nice guide.
The admin area upload banner will add statistics of your forum, which can be quite annoying and can ruin a banner. How do you get rid of these?
Post by: Seldom Fail on June 14, 2009, 03:46:52 pm
Make your image through an image creator program (paint, GIMP, PhotoShop, etc.)
Upload your image to a image hoster (tinypic, photobucket, etc.)
Retrieve the URL and use that one ;)

Those are automatically put on there through that feature.

I have big problem with puting banner on smf 2.0 RC5 forum. I have follow this tutorial and didn't get what I need.
This is code that I have put on this place: // Custom banners and shoutboxes should be placed here, before the linktree.
<div align="center">
<a href="http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/gate/?returnUrl=|bf3|servers|show|34694cfe-665b-4bcb-947a-d0c4be70f868|Playomania-by-Diabolic|"><img src="http://www.playomania.com/uploads/battlefiel3_banner.png" alt="" title="Click here to return to the index!" /></a>
</div>
and when I do that I get this error:

Can someone help me with this?
Here is code from 159 to 238 line with my code for banner:

Some of us (including me) can whip up a banner for you if you can't find one. Just make a new topic in the Graphics board requesting one. ;)

have a banner ready. You can create your own banner in an image editing program like I have done or go to an online banner generator. To find an online banner generator just type 'free banner generator' in Google's Search Box and hit Enter. 8)
Once you have made a banner upload it to a free host like GooglePages. At present GooglePages offers 100 MB free space for hosting your files. After uploading it copy the Url of the image. :-*
You can even upload the banner picture to Blogger. To do this click on Create Post and click on the Add Image icon in the top frame of the Post Editor. :angel:
