Bitcoin Forum

Me and my team are working on a new altcoin. I need a little help regarding the announcement
I've checked quite a few altcoin announcements, some seem to have banners.
1. How do I make the banners? are they just normal images or something different?
2. Could you post some examples of good banners
3. How do I add them to my post

The answer to #3. Is simply by uploading your image or having an image link and using the code: to post the image.
Ex:

So,  are you not having a skill for designing a banner? Google has provided you with a lot of the step for making your own banner. But if you don't want to be difficult for making it and try to use the banner service and visit the service section and find your designer for making your banner.

You can find some on the ANN thread of ico or the homepage of this forum will display it for you.

You can look to places such as https://www.fiverr.com/s2/d216c30653 (https://www.fiverr.com/s2/d216c30653) to have graphic work done

I generally use imgur to host images and use their code;

You can easily pay someone on the forum to do this for you, go to service section and post your task. You only need to pay for the service offered

The answers for your questions are below:

1. Go to the services section and open a service at there and choose for a good designer to design your banners. You do not have to post random images from internet because you are going to run a business and for that try to be unique.

2. For examples you can go to the altcoin announcement section and can visit any announcement of any altcoin.

3. For posting images on this forum go to any image hosting site i.e. imgur.com and upload your images to there and then copy the bbcode links of the images and post in the thread.

ANSWER:
1.Use Photoshop and make it their or just hire someone to make you a good design banner in your ANN.
2.Just search it on google search engine you can find their sime good examples of banner.
3.First you must upload it on web after that use img tag below to post your banner.

How do I upload my own image here? is it necessary to host it on a site like imgur?

Yes it is mandatory.

Plus you can do some nice tricks like :

This way people can just click on github logo or windows, linux, mac, android logo to download or go to these links.

For the other part, you can just pick some banners and change the content, this way you won't have too much work to do.

just a trial. checking if a github link will work

By the way, you should change the name of the project, it sounds like iconomy ...


Here is an example of embed links :

how do i get the image to be as wide as the post itself i.e. don't want any whitespaces on the left or right

Fantastic, another scam coin creator but this shit head can't even create a banner for a thread. Head in my hands.

Dear Lituation, this project is not a scam coin. It is very closely related to what's written under your name - "Free speech is the most important thing". Maybe you shouldn't judge something before you know the details of it. Many thought bitcoin was a scam too, but look where it is today.

Yes, I don't know how to create a banner, that doesn't mean you have the right to berate me. You can sit there hiding behind your lame identity or you could do something useful and help

The problem is not to release a scam coin or not, but to be wise enough not to invest or take part into it.
Now if someone have troubles to release a project, we can only help him, maybe it is not a scam, you know BBC can be tricky for the users who doesn't use to work with it.

Thank you everyone for your help  :)
