Steve this is great. would you be able to cobble one together for ECCA minus the cigs avoided. Would love to help out. Are you able to host it yourself? They can use quite a bit of bandwidth because they change every day. Drop me a PM if you have any ideas for the layout etc. Steve.

Hi, Really like these banners. Got me thinking though, what are banners really for? Promotion, that's what So on that front I've got a couple of suggestions. Why not make the banners take you to the page that generates them when they're clicked on? Like the other banner that Gordy uses - click on it and you'll see what I mean. That way other peeps elsewhere can get one of these banners for themselves. Also, on that page (where the advert banner is on the Gordy example I've used above is), replace that with a banner that brings you here to these forums. Shiny banners for all, and more visitors here Whaddya think? John P.S. Perhaps even a permanent link to the banner generator page somewhere obvious on these forums? Not too pushy is it? I've added clicks on both banners ...is that what you were thinking? Yeah that kind of thing. Then at the bottom of the banner creation page add an obvious clickable link that would bring you here to these forums (much like the ad banner in your other counter banner). John

I've updated the banner maker to include a link to the forum home page with the image. Hi Steve, Nice one, but imho it would be more logical to have it clickthrough to the banner creation page, then add a clickable link on that page that would clickthrough to these forums. Reason I say that is that I've clicked on other counter banners, thinking 'I'd like one of those', but they usually are promoting some company or other that I'd rather not help promote. If you do it the way I suggest it makes it dead easy to get one of your shiny banners, so I think would maximise the take up, and that should knock on to more visits here. Can't be a coincidence that that's the way the companies (like the one Gordy's promoting ) do it I just love the independant ethos here and think it deserves some promotion! Cheers, John

Hows about it linking to the first page of this thread? Then folks can immediately find how to get the banner from Steve's opening post I can also pin this thread - not sure if it would be best to pin it on this board or the site feedback board?

Good idea Chrissie. I've updated the link to point to this thread. I've also updated the header on the banner maker page to link to this forum. I've also set up a new domain on a different server that should be a bit faster at serving up the banners. I will leave the old banner running in case anyone does not want to recreate their banners. Any new stuff will only appear on the new server though. All links have been updated on the first post. Steve.
