RPG Banners

[Jen]

If you're new to the RPG, you may notice that several of us have banners at the bottom of our posts, which have the name of our characters and their ranks on them. I used to make these for everyone as soon as they joined the game, but we have had several members who dropped out and still use them. I update old ones when the ranks change and make more when new people join.  It's a bit time consuming, but I think it adds a little class to our game.

I want to make sure that the people who use them are participating in the RPG, so from now on I will be divvying those out to people who have been active in the game for a whole season. It will be like a "coming of age" gift.  :D

You can add a line of code to your banner that, when clicked, will lead people to your character profile. If you want to add this, PM me and I'll send you a RTF file with the code necessary to make this happen.

If you aren't participating anymore, please discontinue use of your RPG banner. They're meant to broadcast that you are a member of the RPG and if you participate anymore they don't serve any purpose other than a decoration. :)

Thanks!

I'm saving Isaacs.  But you know I'm going to need a new one. ;)

P.S. I mean saving it to my computer.

I could use one for Zremm, my Andorian.  ;)

Yep.. My plan was to get those done before Season Six. Since I upgraded to Leopard (the newest Mac OS), I lost the ability to use all my creative suite aps except Illustrator. Adobe won't support their older products on Leopard... I'm in the process of purchasing CS3.

Anyway, I haven't tried to use Illustrator (the old program that seems to still be working)... these banners will be my first attempt at a new project. Cross your fingers... hope that it works. Otherwise, I'll have to do the at work on Monday.

King, do you have a new character? I haven't seen a profile and I need that info before I make a new banner.

He does have a new character! I will say that it's a good one that he put a lot of work into and you should get shortly.

[KingIsaacLinksr]

Yep, I'm posting it in Active Character Profile for approval right now.

OK, Illustrator was wonky and buggy but I successfully edited all the banners. It occurred to me that since Tiberius no longer exists everyone who has been participating in the previous seasons needs a new banner. I can't give them out until we've told everyone what the new mission is... I'll give Rico a version of his with Tiberius on it... but everyone else has to wait. Sorry Charlie.  ;)

[Jen]

I am going to send the banners to Rico that I have updated/completed. If you play more than one character, please let me know which one you want used for your banner. PM me. :)

Well i'm looking forward to receiving anything ha ha

[Rico]

Ok, folks.  Here are the new Arabella character banners.  (Thanks much to Jen for doing these!!).
I will post them here.  You can use the location of the banner image below to adjust your signature or just grab it, save it, and upload it for you signature.  If you have any trouble doing it, let me know and I can help you out (and I'm sure Kenny or Jen would be glad to help as well).

They look fantastic!   :metallica:

This is the type of code to use for your signature.  You will of course have to change the specifics for your sig.  The first part with the link I have linked to my characters profile.  The second part is the location of the banner image.  Hope this helps.

P.S.  Don't forget, you will manually have to adjust your own signature using the new banner above for your own character.

Thanks for putting up the example Rico and for hosting the banners for us. Guys something to bare in mind is that the first part of the code he posted, is a link to his character profile. All you have to do is highlight treksinscifi.com/forum/index.php?topic=388.0 and paste your own address where your character profile appears on the forums in place of his (remember to omit the http://www. in your own address so that you don't repeat it in the banner code). This will make your banner clickable... It will take anyone who clicks on it, to your character profile. This feature can be very helpful to you and to others who want to check on some detail pertaining to a specific character. Please use it. :)

And like I said above, you will also have to change the code near the end also to match your image file location and name.

Yay! New banners!

Only one problem El-Aurian has a different spelling in mine.
