Affiliate banner request [F]

[FLW]

Site: Fans Love Wrestling

Text: Fans Love Wrestling 

Colors: blue 083e64, white f6f6f6

Size: sorry, I don’t know the proper pixel size for affiliate banners. 

Design:  I am just looking for a very simple affiliate button that simply says Fans Love Wrestling. Ideally, it would look similar to:



—————————
|    Fans Love      |
|     Wrestling      |
—————————

Please excuse how choppy and rough that border looks. basically, “fans love” on top of “wrestling” with a simple border around it.  I provided the hex colors, but I am thinking blue text and border and white (or is it grey? I am bad with colors) as the background 

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help.  If you need more info then ask and I’ll answer the best I can

Hey FLW

If you look at the rules for the Affiliate Exchange board, they mention the standard size for the images. It's 88px wide x 31px high.

Here's an image of that size with a 5px outset border and colors you specified. The text is Arial Bold Italic.



If you're happy with that look, save the image to your computer and upload it to a host other than imgur. (They don't like their images being used in places that can cause a lot of bandwidth but forum posts are okay.)

If you want a different look, just let me know and we can try something else.

Thanks. That banner will work just as it is

I did read the rules for making a graphics request, but I didn’t even think to read in the affiliate section to see if there were any size rules. Seems so obvious that there would be now that you’ve pointed it out >_<

Question about hosting. If I were to create a thread in a staff/hidden folder and use that just for uploading images, could I then share the image on other boards? I am not really sure how hosting works on proboards. If not, is there a list of recommended hosts anywhere?

Uploading an image as an attachment to a post won't be of use for something like this. The Help Guide has a list of External Resources. That includes a few popular image hosts. I use a free account through Cloudinary (it's not on that list) for important images and I've been very happy with their service. cloudinary.com/pricing

For this image, you could upload it to one of the themes on your forum (through your Admin panel), then grab the URL of the image from there.

From your Admin panel, navigate:
Admin Home> Themes> Theme Manager, then click on one of your themes. That will take you to the Settings tab for that theme. Next, click on the Images tab and scroll to the bottom of the page. In the Custom Theme Images you can click Upload and that will open a dialog window where you can navigate through the folders on your computer and select an image to upload.

Once uploaded, you can grab the link and use that for your image URL when you create your Affiliate html code.
