SMF For Free Support Forum

Those are automatically put on there through that feature.

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

Because we all use different screen resolutions, there is no "right size"

Your forum may be a certain width on your monitor but completely different on someone else's.

Wow nice guide ... What is the max size I can use on my forums? 750 by 300?

Hi

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:
