How often are you guys gonna change the banners?

 

Also, cool banner up there now.

Thanks!

Depending on the volume of Banners we get I was thinking maybe 1 or every two weeks. When the continuation of the season starts perhaps every week for sure. Each banner dealing with last weeks episode and such.

Question:  Do all entries MUST have links related to VB?  There isn't one for the current one (which is a pretty cool banner), so can there be ways around that? >> I don't really know how to add live links to an image :smileyindifferent:  Maybe put them on either side of said banner or something? 


Well, it IS VB announcements, so I'll say that its suggested/preferred links should be related to VB. We are asked to help promote the folders though, so I think depending on the link it could be done.

I dont know how to do that myself. We could also lay the links in "open areas" of the banner where not a lotof stuff is goin on.

That's what I was hoping for.

 

I know plenty about graphic design, but very little about web design.

I know how to image map a graphic, but it requires the accompying HTML for when you click the image.

 

It'll be a LOT easier off just slapping HTML links over the image than to image map it.

It's too much of a hassle just for a banner to image map it.

Especially for free.

I made a couple for you:

http://antisocialnetworking.net/venture_bros_banner_2.jpg


 


The second one would be better suited to be overlayed with the Joy Can/Venturous Stuff links. Using a div container with the image as the background and nested div's for the unordered lists is probably the easiest way to get this done. I created a mock-up menu here. The code for the image/menu is also shown there. If you can't use the code, just use the images.

I dont think it should be a problem. When the time comes We'll test it out and I'll let you know how the code takes. :smileyhappy:

It still looks good though. I hope they don't do that to mine. It would probably look awful.

Here's why it's stretched. The banner image is 500px by 150px and the browser is being told that it is  640px by 280px.

 The code that says <img width="640" height="280" title="by viperxmns" alt="by The_Wizard_of_Truth" should change to <img width="500" height="150" title="by viperxmns" alt="by viperxmns"

 

Regarding the links, those have to be overlayed on the image. The code I wrote for my image is easily adapted for other images: http://zombiemichaeljackson.net/venture2.html There's the code for viperxmns' image.

 

edit: [as] could make it a lot easier on me and have RSS feeds for videos and store items. :smileyvery-happy:

I see, thanks.. I was kinda hoping for finalization feedback before the banner was used, I originally posted that version expecting clarification of sizing and whatnot. Still happy to see it up there though.

This monitor is set at 1024 x 768 (not my usual monitor sadly) and the links on the banner are covering the top of the forum, ending right in the middle of the first line for the top floated thread.

Srsly? Cuz I just switched to that and 800x600 and the links all remained within the confines of the area. Hmmm...

Okay, here's one:

 

I didn't make it, a friend outside the boards made it for me to use as a signature on another site, but I thought it'd be pretty awesome to use as a banner.

I suppose I'll throw my hat into the ring. I left some room on the right for your crazy links.
