Posting board header images
I used to know how to do this but can't seem to any more. The old way was going to Community Logo with the link but that doesn't seem to work anymore.
This is what I'm trying to put there is there anything wrong with it?

HELP!!!

Re: Posting board header images
Hi Cro,
I would guess it's because you're trying to link directly from bing. If you upload the image to your own host and link to it from there, it should work.

Re: Posting board header images
It doesn't work because that image is linked to Bing. You will need to save the image and upload it to your own personal online photo album. I use PhotoBucket.com, and it is one of the sites that Runboard approves of.

Re: Posting board header images
But you did specifically mention Photobucket, which is helpful.

Re: Posting board header images
Yeah. It's the one I use. Not sure if there's a better site out there, or not. Haven't really researched it.

Re: Posting board header images
It's the best one that I'm aware of, although I haven't researched it recently, either.

Re:
Hi. Sorry to cut in to this post but it seems to be the most recent about this subject.
I would like to know if there is another way to get the banners to work. I currently have my banner stored at Photobucket but they have changed it so you have to pay to link. I've moved to Imgur, which is where I host hte photos I post in threads etc and they work fine, but all the links I've tried to add banner don't work. Anyway to fix this?
This is the banner I would like to use - http://imgur.com/t8XueUH and I've tried to add it via the Logo section and via custom HTML.
Thanks in advance for any advise.
Lea

Re: Posting board header images
Unfortunately, Imgur doesn't allow 3rd party hosting either. This thread lists sites that can/can't be used:
