The image in the header can be any dimensions you want as such. Example here: http://www.mrtws.com/forum/
The actual forum image 728px by 90px I created, and then I edited some bits and bobs so it seemed like the whole banner was one continuous image

Hi mrTWS, Do i have enough room for a 728 x 90 leaderboard advert next to my forum image at top left of forum, so the leader board goes next to it upper right or should i use banner 468 x 60? http://www.physicsanswers.co.uk - my forum Edit: Bruce, thanks for the work today regarding the support ticket

Hi Paul What I would suggest is is 468x60 as your current image there is 346px × 95px If you add 346 to 468 you get a overall width of 814 346 plus 728 is obviously 1074, and assuming that you want to make the site as user friendly as possible, we have to assume that users may have their screen resolutions set at 1024x768 (in the case of netbooks) Ideally what I would do is setup the header file http://www.physicsanswers.co.uk/includes/header.asp So that the header file controlled the images. Without swamping you with too much techno jargon, currently your file includes/header.asp will look like this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript" />
<script language="javascript" src="includes/default_javascript_v9.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<table class="basicTable" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" align="center">
<tr>
<td><%
'If there is a forum image then dsiplay it
If NOT strTitleImage = "" Then Response.Write("<a href=""" & strWebsiteURL & """><img src=""" & strTitleImage & """ border=""0"" alt=""" & strWebsiteName & " " & strTxtHomepage & """ title=""" & strWebsiteName & " " & strTxtHomepage & """ /></a>")
%></td>
</tr>
</table> |
Now say if for example you wanted to have a banner centralised, with a repeating background image tiling across, you would use something like this - I've highlighted in red the changes
<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript" />
<script language="javascript" src="includes/default_javascript_v9.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td align="center" background="http://mrtws.com/forum/images/006_TitleBackground.jpg"><a href="http://www.mrtws.com"><img src="http://mrtws.com/forum/images/006_MainTitle.jpg" alt="MrTWS Universal Forum. Part of MrTWS.com. Chat, talk, share, forum feedback and discussion topics" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="728" height="90" title="MrTWS Universal Forum. Part of MrTWS.com. Chat, talk, share, forum feedback and discussion topics"></a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table class="basicTable" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" align="center">
<tr>
<td><%
'If there is a forum image then dsiplay it
If NOT strTitleImage = "" Then Response.Write("<a href=""" & strWebsiteURL & """><img src=""" & strTitleImage & """ border=""0"" alt=""" & strWebsiteName & " " & strTxtHomepage & """ title=""" & strWebsiteName & " " & strTxtHomepage & """ /></a>")
%></td>
</tr>
</table> |
That is just off the top of my head but it's more or less right!

Obviously Paul that is a very quick example (as my header file actually is different with extra bits), but I think it will give you an idea
You can also do what they call float left, float right, so in theory you can have two images, same line, one to the left and one to the right, but at twenty to eight in the evening after a long day I probably am not making that much sense or doing myself justice!

Question:
Do you need a privacy policy on a forum?

Hi Paul T
It would depend - normally when people register you have the registration rules which should ideally specify your terms, conditions and perhaps any relevant privacy notes. Why?

Hi mrTWS,
I have adsense on my forum and i'm searching their help forum, i can't find any where adsense state you must have a privacy policy, however i see a few posts where users answering people that got their account disabled say "you didn't even show a privacy policy, no wonder you got disabled".

AdSense (if I remember rightly) sent out emails to any website owners using their DART policy stating that somewhere you had to make a point about users visiting your site had the option to know about the policy, and how they could remove cookies - Click here to read through their policy Also note this comment - Google Advertising Cookies AdSense publishers must have and abide by a privacy policy that discloses that third parties may be placing and reading cookies on your users' browsers, or using web beacons to collect information as a result of ad serving on your website This page explains about preparing the Privacy Policy (especially if you are using Google Ads) I hope that helps Paul
