is it possible to put up a flash banner ad?

BlackBulletTSi · 08-24-2005, 06:58 PM

Good question didn't even think of that! I'm not sure I'll take a look into it! Major thing right now is these database errors.

he can pay whatever the price is per month and have one that says "INSTEAD OF HAVING ONE OF THOSE ANNYOING BANNER ADS HERE YOU HAVE THIS MESSAGE PAID FOR BY (INSERT NAME) SO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK AT A SILLY BANNER AD"

thanks. i designed the banner and then it hit me that if i can't post swf files, there might be a chance we couldn't use it for the banner on TST. but now i feel better that my work wasn't in vain! thanks again!

BlueBulletRL aka TST webguy, whats your real name anyway. i haven't been to the meets (i.e. thursday nights) despite constant prodding. every time i see ryan its like, "you should come to the meets!" i usually have plans that i can't get out of those nights, but one of these days i'll bail and come out with you guys.

and yes banner ads are cool when its for good cause. TST is cool and their vendors are cool!

one more question for the site admin guys:
is there any way for me to gain some sort of access to upload banner ads for car pretty. and could you get me the exact parameters for the banner ads.

**TROLL** · 08-25-2005, 11:54 AM

the banners are 468 x 60 and i'm not sure what other parameters you'd need. i can just copy and save one sized to those dimensions thats hosted online like the one above right? then we can put it up from there.

that sounds fine. i didn't know if you had created any file size restrictions or anything. i guess i'll let you know when its ready to go up for good. thanks again for all the help. with the new site and everything, i was not too sure how to go about everything.

**TROLL** · 08-25-2005, 12:07 PM

hold on to your original larger version as well because we might make the banners a little bigger... just tryign to get the rest of the page sorted out first. but yeah, 468 x 60 for now. if you link me to it today i can put it up today

ok, finally finished...
here is the link to the flash banner:

http://www.carprettyautosalon.com/flashbanner.htm

you can view it and download it there. let me know if you have any problems.

BlackBulletTSi · 08-26-2005, 08:53 PM

UncleTom hey man whats up. My real names Rob or Dex whichever you would like haha. I drive an 04 Saturn ION Red Line

yes its supercharged w00t! Also regarding changing the banner what we could do is link to the file remotely hosted on your end and as long as you keep the banner file name the same it should automatically update.

If you have anything you would like to talk about you can PM me or IM me It'll allow me to get back to you quicker. Also there is nothing I see about file size restrictions either so ya get creative
