I know the last reply has been over a year ago but I'm desperately looking for a topic how to put a banner in the summary! 'Cause I've uploaded my banner on Photobucket, but the summary box doesn't seem to catch the IMG codes! I'm really desperate lol!

Oh, and I hope the banner I made doesn't make my summary too long, lol. (It's 314x376 and it's .jpg)

Or I didn't search well enough for a topic like that or I'm just plain blind.

is that the banner size? 314 x 376? Because if it is, it's too big. Banners should be no bigger than 300 x 300.

You can use the HTML image code:

<center><img src="image url goes here"></center>

For the banner size, the rule is that the dimensions can't add up to more than 600 pixels (so for a square banner, it could be 300 x 300).  So yours is just a little too big.  Just resize it before you post it.

Hope this helps!

Oh, yes, that was the size. I will resize it and add it in my summary.
Thanks a bunch!

any chance anyone knows what program i could use to resize an image?

Thanks

[julilly]

Photoshop.com is good for resizing.

I've noticed I cant upload banners the are like 400x200. It tells me the banner must be no bigger then 300x300. Am I confused? I thought is could be 600 max. So 300x300 or 400x200 or even 599x1. Am I wrong?

[mare]

you can upload banners of any size onto the site unless Chaos changed something and i'm unaware of it. (Which would be awesome!) lol

I just uploaded a banner which is 400x200, so it is working

I had this EXACT same problem...last week, I think it was...when I was getting up my VoL banner. It was an odd size but was under 600 total. The site wouldn't let me upload is because one dimension was over the 300. I was going to ask about it but just reduced the size even more, so it would upload. 

[yorkielover88]

yeah it just kinda sucks. I had to reduce unlikely a lot and it made it all fuzzy.

[RokofAges75]

I haven't had this problem, but I think my banners are usually only like 300 x 150.  If you're having trouble uploading to the site, you could always use a free photo hosting site like Photobucket to store it.

[julilly]

I'd say your best bet is really to go with free hosting like photobucket because you have better control over it (you control the size, you have a backup, etc) but it's also easier on the server.

[mare]

or not use one at all lol
