Ask Taco to host the banner on thecfl.net. He said he was going to do that with all of the banners.

Then, in your signature block in your profile, type:

{img}http://(whatever the URL is){/img}

but use [ and ] instead of { and }.

I'll upload all of the banners either tonight or tomorrow morning.

I have uploaded Grid Iron's banners to the CFL website. The new banners page displays all of the banners and gives the URL to each one. Please update your banners to use the new location of the files.

[quotebb3c419="backbreakers"]Those are awesome.

This may sound flaky, but I have no artistic qualities, whatsoever. So if you can pimp my banner without any ideas from me, I would appreciate that greatly.[/quotebb3c419]

No Love for the breakers? :(

These look great, btw.

I sent you a PM a few days ago.

Read that and get back to me. I've got some ideas but it would require a major change to your logo.

Or, I can use the current logo.

Let me know if you are willing to let me choose a new logo for you, as I describe in the PM. :D

Taco, I'd suggest linking your new banner page somewhere on the front page as well...
It looks good BTW, Grid has really done an outstanding job on those!

I can see the avatar and the banner:

http://www.thecfl.net/images/banners/talonsavatar.gif

http://www.thecfl.net/images/banners/talonsbanner.jpg

In your signature, just type the banner URL above in between image tags and you should be set.

Looks great! The one hosted at the CFL has the birds a little lighter. The one at the top of the thread has the hawks a little bit darker.

Take a look and use whichever one you like best. If you like the hawks to be more prominent, I'm sure Taco would be willing to transfer it over to the cfl website.

Make sure your CFL forum profile is set to show signatures.

Hmmm... Can't seem to find that option.

Maybe send a PM to Taco.

Do you have any ad blockers installed in your browser? I know with Firefox that there are some extensions that block certain images from being displayed. Perhaps it thinks your banner is an ad and it is getting blocked? That's the only explanation I can think of right now...

heh- that was it :)
Is there anyway I can set it to allow that? Or would be changing the name of the file to something besides "banner" maybe allow it?

btw- now that I can see it, it looks great! thanks GI

Good suggestion. The link is now on the main menu at the top of the front page.
