How to attach a banner?

Forum URL: thegroop.proboards42.com

I run the unofficial Stereolab fan forum listed above. There is a Stereolab tribute CD being released publically at the end of the summer and I have agreed to display a banner to help publicize the tribute, but I don't know how to do it.

Here's the link to the banner that they sent me: file:///c:/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/TEMP/banner1_468x60-1.swf

Er...help.

Where do you want to post the banner? In a thread? Or at the top of your main page?

host the image somewhere like www.tinypic.com then ..admin panel-->Customize Your Forum-->Skins / Forum Colors-->Modify Skin-->Select the skin from the drop down menu below that you would like to modify-->Logo URL:Enter the URL to your logo if you would like an image displayed at the top left of your forum.

I'll try that, but that'll put it up at the top, won't it? I'd rather it were at the bottom.

if you want it at the botton the put this HTML code with the image url in your main footer or global footer if you want it on all boards <center><img src="image url here"></center>

Use this [ img] URL OF IMAGE HERE [/ img] in your Main Footer.

ubbc codes don't work in headers or footers.

Hmmm, nothing seems to show up. Is the problem that the image file (file:///c:/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/TEMP/banner1_468x60-1.swf) is not a standard image file like jpg, gif, bmp, etc...?

swf is the type of file for playing games.

Also, you can't use files directly from your computer. You have to upload them onto a site.

Hmmm, that's the file they sent me...

And, if I post that file into my browsers url field it displays...does that not mean that it's already being hosted?

No. You can see it because it's on your conputer, however, other people don't have access to what is on your computer. It needs to be uploaded to a webhost like www.ripway.com
