Hey Tricia... my signature code doesn't seem to work and I'm not computer savvy enough to know what the problem is. I copied the banner from the SR site but it's just a jumble of characters here. I tried a ticker factory one, too (cut & pasted from my sig on the Disboards). Help?

Thanks,
Shelly

I think that there is a setting that I am missing somewhere. Let me get the newsletter finished for today (lots of news!) and then I will get back on this again. I am guessing that I am missing something obvious because these boards are pretty easy to administer.

I was working on trying to put a photo in my signature for a while and then I realized that down at the bottom of the screen in the box where it says "Signature Permissions", all the items that are related to images say "no". (Is that as clear as mud?) I had tried both a photo and a SR banner and neither worked for me. Do we have to have so many posts before we can post photos or something?

I think I found the setting that you are talking about, Jill. See if you can add a photo now.

I tried adding my SR banner in my siggie and it isn't working either?

Well, as you can see, I was able to put a graphic in my signature, but I tried the SR banner again at it still didn't work. Could the problem be with the banners and not the forums??

I finally figured it out!! (well...Kevin did help a LITTLE bit....)

We now have it set up to allow images for everyone and html for anyone who reaches 25 posts. That way, you have to at least earn the right to put up your referral banner. You might wonder why it would do any good to have up your referral banner if everyone is a member? Once the site goes public (later today most likely), it will start getting indexed by the search engines. So as we talk about offers, merchants, discounts, etc., people searching the web for those things will land here. If they happen to read your post and see your referral banner with your earnings, they might just click on it. :)

So post away until you get to 25 and then you will be able to include your referral banner in your sig if you like.

I can see your banner in your signature. Try refreshing or logout/login to the forums.

I have no idea what I'm not doing right to get this banner to post? I've hit the required 25 posts and yet it still doesn't work for me?? :confused:

You're good! I think it just takes the system a little bit to notice that you hit 25 posts. I think it updates those like every hour or so. I just forced an update and you are now stylin' and profilin' (as my 6-year-old would say).

I can not get a banner yet so I have to ask....
Is the money total the amount you have in your account at the moment, the amount earned this quarter, this year?.....
Will it only post in this forum?
Thanks,
Shirley

The referral banners are located on the "Referrals" page on the SR website.

I was just able to put mine up since I hit 25 posts and the amount shown is the total you've EVER earned on SR. Good thing....it looks a little more impressive than what my present balance is.

How do you guys earn so much? Do you sign up for everything? I am trying to increase my earnings. Any tips or suggestions would be great!

I'd like to know if the amount in the siggie is your Total (ever) or your Year to Date total? I just started this year, so I know my total (when it will be able to post) is what I've earned so far...but again, I've only been here this year...

SunshineGirl
05-04-2007, 07:51 AM
It will be your overall total forever. Some people are already around $1000!!

i cant get mine to work but i'm too embarassed to post my total anyway. (very small amount!) so if i get to 25 posts i better use a generic banner! :cooldance:

Lucinda
05-04-2007, 01:05 PM
Don't be embarrassed mine isn't anywhere near $1000 . I 'm happy with what I've done so far though . Have good day:)

05-04-2007, 01:13 PM
Oh I agree! Don't be embarassed! My total isn't nearly as high as anyone else's I've seen!

When you copy the HTML code from the SunshineRewards site and paste it into your site, do you get any error messages? What's your myspace page I will go look for it.

i guess your right. its because i belong to so many programs, i cant join everything on each one! i am spreading myself way too thin.

rhiannonwales
05-04-2007, 03:39 PM
No i dont get any error codes.I even pasted it into a html tester program that checks to see if the coding is right and it showed perfectly. When i copy and paste it in and then save it to my page the page shows it as
...
It is still a clickable link though. One thing i did notice, is that if i paste it in and save it and go back and look at it, some of the coding dissapears.It's like they abbreviated it... where code should be it just shows .....
The only thing i can think of is that maybe theres javascript in it? Because myspace doesnt allow java.
Ok i put the code in and the ... are right under the box labeled brownquote.
This is the myspace address
http://www.myspace.com/rhiannonwales


And thanks so much for taking the time to help me sort it out!


ETA: i just tried the old banners and they work - its only the ones with the "I made ______" that dont.... maybe its that??

OK - here is my question. I like the tickers and I have two but is there a way to shrink them and put thenm side by side so they do not take up so much room?

I haven't used the tickers so much but looking at them you should be able to modify the img tag to add a width=xxx property where xxx is the width in pixels you want the image to display. If you set it too small, the image might look weird. Also, do you have any <br> tags? or <p> tags bewteen them? those are line breaks which will make the images appear on two different lines.

Hello-

I hit 25 posts today so I wanted to put my banner up. I tried earlier but it was just text, so now I'm back (a few hours later) & I went to add my banner link & I get the error:

Your signature contains too many lines and must be shortened. You may only have up to 5 line(s).


:confused: :confused:
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

I am not one who post very much anywhere or any time. I am alway's afraid I'll say something stupid ! Can't think of a better place than here where I feel safe to start.
There is just something about Sunshine Reward's Site. That make's me feel that way ! Now I need to get the courage to get 25 post !:rotfl:

So I'll try to share more.
Thanks.

I've just read through all the posts on this thread. I don't feel so alone with a banner that doesn't show. I'm close to that magical #25 and maybe it will show up later or tomorrow. Someone wanted to know if I knew my siggy was funky. I told them it would be unfunky when I hit 25 posts.

Now if I can just learn how to make my board as purty as Tricia's!!!!!! LOL I think I know what switches that she turned on that I didn't. Hmmmm, a new learning curve. LOL

Some of you have huge totals. That is awesome. Mine grows slowly. I try to spend 30 minutes a few times a week on doing offers. If they credit great. If not, that is great too. When it is free it can't help but be fun! :sunshine:

I know that there is a limit of 6 "lines" in the signature, but I am not actually sure what that means! Some of these other folks have been having a lot of luck adding more to their signatures. I'm a little stumped myself except trial and error. It SHOULD be set up very similar to the DIS boards.
