Sorry about double posting...but...here is MY ad! And Swift's too.

Wow. I haven't seen that picture in a long time. That's amazing. Papyrus font and all. And look, it's Ambie! And Lionstar! And Ivystar! And me!!! That's just amazing.

[Dogstar]

Please make ads! Not one has been submitted yet! Come on guys!

[Froststar]

I'll make one. Gimme a bit.


((A bit later))


Ok. Here you go:





And then we can make it clickable.

[Dogstar]

How do you make one part of the picture o to a specific link? Can you do that?

[Swiftstar]

It takes Google Chrome and HTML skillz, yo.

[Dogstar]

Do you happen to have those skillz, Swift? (PLEASE SAY YES PLEASE SAY YES) Also, Frost, can you make the pic a bit smaller? Some forums won't accept pics that widen the forum width.

P.S. I made the pic Frosty liked our banner. It looks SWEET!

[Froststar]

I just made it that big so you could see it. Here's the smaller version.



Do you think it should be smaller than that?

Btw, you don't need google chrome to make it clickable. It'll work on firefox. But sometimes not on IE.

And I love the old banner just because it's the old banner. It's good, temporarily, but I do think that we need a new and improved one. That was literally made in 2005. So it might be awesome, but it's super outdated.

[Dogstar]

Yeah I agree. We need a new one.

Nah. That size is el perfecto!

Fro, will you be able to ake it clickable? If so, soon? I will be the one to put it on other sites.

[Froststar]

I can try. I'm not good with css, but I can definitely try. Gimme a bit, and I'll let you know if I'm successful.

((A bit later))

Ok, I've got it. It's in html. Yes, I used a generator. Shame on me.
Now I just have to figure out how to make it show up in posts since posts don't allow html...

<div style="text-align:center; width:500px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;">

</map>
</div>

[Froststar]

Haha, awesome. It finally worked. Turns out that you can't post css or html into a proboards post. SO, I had to instead make the files into separate images and paste those images together in the order I wanted. I think it turned out well. Lemme know if it doesn't work for anyone.

[Dogstar]

The links won't show up on my computer. Its wierd. It won't let my click on home. The image is just an image. There are no links according to my computer.

[Froststar]

Let me try that again then. It worked just fine with mine...

*later*

Yes, it works now. Sorry, I put my brackets in the wrong places. Now they're right. Let me know if they don't work for you still. Btw, which browser do you use (firefox, IE, chrome)?

[Dogstar]

I use IE. Sweet I will go post that on other sites right now! I will also mak modifications to the news fader. I will say that if you want to help redecorate the site, PM Dogstar or Froststar.

[Froststar]

You may want to introduce it by saying that we are reorganizing. That way it doesn't sound like we're totally inactive, and more people will want to come. And mention, too, that there are some leadership positions open.

[Froststar]

Here's the code for what I've been posting:

Following The Plague, the forest has grown still.  Many are unaware that Silence, The Plague's leader, is dead, and that Froststar, the once esteemed Leader of ThunderClan and the traitor who almost doomed us all, is in the Dark Forest.  Our camps are nearly empty; only a few cats remain.
So we must reach out to you.  Can you help us rebuild?  Can you help us survive?  
These are dark times, my friends.  Divided we fall.



[Dogstar]

Sweeet. I have posted that on a lot of sites so far. Maybe thats why we have gotten two members in one week.

[Froststar]

AWESOMENESS. Thank you, buddy.
It's also a good idea to go to proboards support and advertise on their members' sites. It's a good way to gauge new sites (especially inexperienced ones), so when their site is crappy or starts going inactive, the members will want to switch over, and see our ad. Woot.

[Dogstar]

OH YEAH. Hopefully our site won't go inactive. *knocks on wood*

[Froststar]

*knocks on head*


Yeah, seriously. I'm hoping. But it's lasted a long time, so I'm pretty sure it'll survive. But I want it to thrive.

[Dogstar]

Survival is not enough for the Fro. She wants to LIVE. xD

[Froststar]

Teehee, yesh.

Back to the banner: I'm going to just remove the one we have now, I think. We'll see how it looks without it.

[Dogstar]

Think it looks OK, but the forum has an empty place. It just doesn't look very...artsy.

[Froststar]

True that. Well, the faster we get a good banner up, the better then. I can work on one sometime this week, maybe.

[Dogstar]

Sweet. Try to make it similiar to the old one, with all four aspects of the Clans, except in HD. Is a HD Banner possible? xD

[Froststar]

By HD you mean high def, yes? It's all about how many pixels you use, and what size you use. I can definitely make it higher quality.

[Dogstar]

Yes, I mean high def. And if you could make some of the colors complementary, so everything can stand out, that would be awesome.

[Froststar]

Definitely. I'll work on it. But it'd be great if you could help me find some pics. The best way to search for better quality ones would be to find "large" pictures. You can do this easily when you search on google pictures.

I was thinking maybe we could have some more stencil/silhouette stuff going on. Ex:

www.fun-with-pictures.com/image-files/cat-stencil.jpg ((one of the cat pics))
ckw.phys.ncku.edu.tw/public/pub/Notes/NonlinearPhysics/Web/Chaos/ChaosHypertext/hypertextbook.com/chaos/diagrams/silhouette-tree.gif ((background image))
encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTQUbUK3m3xfeFKr2eFv120bSjJDgVsER7W9OW8Ul3Cq215xfhnbw ((some random critters to make it interesting))

You know...that kind of thing. With complimentary colors of course.

[Dogstar]

Yeah! Maybe in the cat stencil pic, you could put grass in one section, wheat in one section, ect. You know what I mean? And we can also put the Clan symbols in all four corners. Here is a pic of a star. I think we may be able to incorperate it into the banner. It is the third one from the left. I can't copy and paste the url. It is impossible on my computer.

images.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGHP_enUS442US443&q=cat+stencils&biw=1117&bih=746&sei=Ax92T_avOcXlggf6iN3bDg&tbm=isch#hl=en&rlz=1T4GGHP_enUS442US443&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=animated+black+star&oq=animated+black+star&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_l=img.3...16233l23351l0l23934l5l5l0l3l3l0l33l63l2l2l0.frgbld.&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=58338cba3f5edef7&biw=1117&bih=746

[Froststar]

You can definitely copy and paste the url. Just hover over the image, right click, and select "copy image url" or "copy image location."
But it looks good. I'm in the last three weeks of my school now, so don't expect me to frequent too much. It's going to be insane from here on out.
