hey,

at other forums they have their forum button instead of the blue button "visit my forum" I have.
It doesn't give the link to my forum, but the code.

1. The blue button should be changeable to your own affiliate button. Look for a setting that may reference a mini banner. Replace that image URL with your own image URL. Looks like that image is one that just comes stock with the plugin.

2. It's not supposed to link to your forum. If you're getting a popup box that lists code - that's for other forums to copy your affiliate code to place on their forums, which looks like it has your affiliate banner and link to your forum. That is it's expected behavior. After all, it doesn't make sense to link to your own forum while on your own forum.

Visit either of the affiliates that you have and scroll to the bottom of their forum. Click their affiliate banner on the far right. While the popup may look different, it's doing the exact same thing as yours - giving others the code for your affiliate banner and it links to your forum.

Thanks.

Yes, it does the same (which I hadn't noticed before)

but they have their button there, not the blue square I have and I can't get it to change

Nevermind, thx

Are you referring to the button to the right of your affiliate table? If you hover your mouse over it, it says "click here to copy our affiliate code" - so that is functioning as intended. When someone copies it and places it in their own affiliate table, it will link to your forum.

Or did you mean something else? Would it be possible to provide pictures of what's going on or where things aren't working?

How to create a minibanner and it's url?

Hi,

What is a 'minibanner' and where do I get one for each affiliate?

Thank you.

What I did is go to 'bannerfans.com'. Choose the button size from the menu. Downloaded it. Uploaded to my computer's paint software to write in the name. Then upload it to imgur.com to get a URL.
