grr... i have to rethink all this. i'm not going to use the banner I've made; i need to host it elsewhere because I don't want my website to be exposed on this site or through my banners. What i do know is I'm simply putting [img] tags around it.

like soo....

I hope that helps, I've tried it with other banners that other sites make for you, and those I can't seem to get to work either.
