Banner rules:
- The area of your banners combined must not exceed 50,000 pixels (Area
= width x height)
- Whatever dimension combo you choose:
Width must be equal to or less than 400 pixels
Height must be equal to or less than 150 pixels
(Note: You can't have a banner that is 400x150 because the area will
equal 60,000 which exceeds the 50,000 limit. And you can't be stupid
and have a banner like 900x10 because that breaks the 400 width rule)
- Any width/height combos are allowed, as long as they follow rules
1 and 2 above.
Just kind of eyeball the samples below, and get yours in that range.
- Please consider our dial-up members and not make your banners too
big in KB.
- If you're unsure whether your banner breaks the rule or not,
show it to a Moderator first so you don't get in trouble.
Why we have this rule:
- We don't want the forums to be too image intensive where
it takes too long to load for users on slow connections.
- The main purpose of a forum is to engage in meaningful discussions,
not look at big and pretty banners, they are sometimes very distracting.
- Big banners get annoying when you have to scroll through
them just to read a few lines of text from the post.
Examples of acceptable banner dimensions:
You can have one 300 x 150 banner
You can have one 400 x 100 banner
You can have 2 300 x 80 banners
Total area = 48,000
