What is a minibanner?

Hi,

I remember installing affiliate links on my forum early on, but I forgot how. I forgot what a minibanner is and how to get them from affiliate websites.

Could someone refresh my memory?

Thank you.

Hi,

Most people I know use this plugin: www.proboards.com/library/plugins/item/126 which I don't see on your forum.

Hi Michael,

I have that plugin on my test forum. I want to know how to do it before I install it on my forum. It requires a minibanner, which I forgot what those are. Do we get them from the forums?

PF A mini-banner is another term for an affiliate banner. You will need to create one (or have one created) using a graphics program. Usually, they show the name or initials of the forum, which may or may not include a forum-specific design.

Hello PF

You can request an affiliate banner in the Graphic Design Forum if you like:

I can certainly make one for you if you specify the color, text, etc, in your request. 

You can also check out the Affiliate Exchange section for other forums which might be interested in affiliating with you.

Hope this helps!

Thank you all!

Michael, I installed the plug-in on my forum and I was wondering, since the 'affiliate with us' button doesn't work, and there has been no solution posted on the plug-in thread, is there a way to remove it?

PF, the Affiliate With Us button does work you just did not input the correct information.

In the plugin settings, Affiliate with Us tab, Under the section for Read is the field: Board/Thread ID.

You put in the URL: https://imdb-3.freeforums.net/board/3/forum-info when in fact all that was needed was the board ID of "3". I've replaced the URL with the number 3 and as you can see the button works as intended.

Scott Oh that's great. Thank you!
