Hi all,

I'm new to this forum.
I already posted a few affiliate links/banners on our website.
But I keep getting problems.
50% works perfect.
50% doesn't work.
The banners won't come up if I post them.
Now my question is. Is this just happening 2 me?
Am I missing something?
Or is this a regular issue that most affiliates have.

(We have a SMF)

SMF is a good forum, but you have to make sure that the right options are checked in the backend. I can't remember all the options, but there is probably one to either allow or disallow HTML. If you are posting banners, you will want to allow HTML.

There are still some banners which may not display. I would NOT use any banners that have:

Code:

<iframe>

Code:

<embed>

Code:

<object>

Only use banners with an image like the following:

Code:

<a href="#"><img src="myimage.gif"></a>

If it uses that structure, then you should be able to display it. Just copy the banners with an IMG tag in them onto your forum and you should be fine.

If that doesn't work, post your URL and someone will take a look
