Banner in the guide

[Charlesbrubaker]

How do I get the banner to show up on the ComicGenesis guide? I have it up on the "edit banners" section, but what do I have to do to get it to show up on the Guide?

It's showing up for me (assuming you're talking about the banner in your signature).

Keep in mind that if you have more than one 468x60 banner uploaded to the Guide, it will display them in random rotation.

[Charlesbrubaker]

Huh. What do you know. I had another one before and didn't show up. I guess it worked since I reuploaded the banner again.

Give it a day or so. The image won't appear in the Edit Banners page for a couple of hours. Additionally, it won't show up in the Guide until the Guide updates, which happens once a day.

[Charlesbrubaker]

Actually, I had the old banner set up for few months now, and it didn't show up. That's why I reuploaded it.

Bizzare.
What had you set for the banner path?

I was wondering about how to get banners up on keenspace in the first place. From the link to "edit your banners" it asks for the banner path. I've tried to link to (properly sized) banners that are in my workspace and those hosed on other sites but it always tells me that my banner is not located on keenspace_butch. Is there a different place to load banners than the site administrator link from keenspace?

The banner has to be on your CG site. You link to it through /public_html, so the path would be along the lines of http://yourcomic.comicgenesis.com/publi ... ername.ext. (case sensitive, extension must be lowercase)

The system only accepts a few specific pixel sizes. The only ones I remember at the moment are 88x31 (button) and 150x300 (newsbox, curently down for retooling) but there are two other, larger sizes as well.

The standard banner sizes are listed here, if you're interested. Keep in mind that only 468x60 banners will be displayed in the Guide.

Thanks. I'll try to put my 468x60 there and cross my fingers.

htttp://www.mindflenzing.keenspace.com/public_h ... banner.gif Doesn't exist on Keenspace_Butch, located on Keenspace_Butch instead?

This is the message I've been getting for about a year now. I've tried with comicgenesis instead of keenspace, but that changes nothing. I've reloaded the image. I've used the URL from the image in my workspace. I've tried just </images/(filename)> and a number of other things. There must be something really basic that I'm missing here. I've also tried substituting keenspace_butch in the URL as well.

The banner path is as follows:

/public_html/images/new_2dd_banner.gif

In your case.

Oddly enough, I tried almost that but your way worked, thanks. When it comes to networks and code I'm like a medieval barber studying classical medical texts to perform surgery (I have no clue what I'm looking at).
