On my Main/Home Page, I have the Affiliates option enabled. Is it possible to put an image in that area and link it to another site?

**shane** · 05-02-2004, 03:19 PM

Yes, this would be possible by using HTML tags. I'm not sure if you can "legally" do this as buttons to affiliates may not be allowed with Forumer.

5point7liter · 05-02-2004, 03:22 PM

It is to another forum of forumer. So it's not like a sponsor or something. So it's OK to do that, right?

It's basically like "Recomended Sites" only I like the word Affiliates better!

5point7liter · 05-02-2004, 03:27 PM

So how would I do that? Can you show me how to type up the HTML for it? And where to put it, etc?

**shane** · 05-02-2004, 03:29 PM

Upon checking into it a bit, it has been decided that you're not allowed to place any button, banner, or any thing like such for an affiliate on your board. Sorry about that.

What, we can't link to other forumer boards..?

5point7liter · 05-02-2004, 03:32 PM

It's just like how this site has "MegaStats" linked...only it is in a different area. I thought it would look more clean. I see no problem in it! You see what I am saying though?

Not with buttons or banners at this time.... you can only use text links. You may or may not be able to use small buttons for affiliate Forumer boards in the future. No promises though.

Is this a bandwith issue, or why is that?

I doubt it. I believe it's just an issue with the TOS in place here.

5point7liter · 05-02-2004, 03:40 PM

Shane: you see what I am saying though? This site links to Megastats....Well I want to link to another forum from my forum (nothing wrong with that) but would like to use a picture to make it look more clean and interesting...you know? Do you see anything wrong with this? Do you think this will be allowed SOON, if at all?

Yes, I see what you're saying. And I agree with you. I think we should be able to link we affiliate buttons as it looks a whole lot more appealing that way. However, I don't write the rules around here. I just help enforce them.

Understood!

Can you tell them to change the rules?

LOL

Ok, I guess this Support is Resolved! Not the way I wanted though!

The Megastats button is actually a nifty little counter. If you click on it & go to the Megastats page, enter the username & password you first signedd up to forumer with you can see your site statistics!
