I need a banner or if possible this banner in css for the bitcointalk slots:

You can use HTML/CSS styling with some freedom. However:
- I will copy/paste your ad into the ad area of the page's HTML. It then must actually fit in that location of the page and not overflow into other things. Usually you don't have to go to any extra trouble to make this happen if you avoid manual positioning (including negative margins, etc.) and other weird tricks.
- Ads must not contain images (not even data URI images) or JavaScript
- Ads must not contain forms
- Ads must not animate except for subtle hover effects
- Ads must not load things from external sites, including custom fonts, even if they're downloaded from a common trusted location like Google.
- Ads must not be taller than about 42px as I see them on my browser, which is around 900px wide. Keep in mind that people often view the forum on smartphones and other devices with small screens: to ensure that everyone can read your ad, it's a good idea to make it work even at very low screen sizes. This isn't required, though.
- I will reject ads if I find them to be especially annoying
If you have an ad up, I'll keep using that one unless you tell me otherwise. If you've advertised in the last 3 months or so, I probably still have your ad on file. You can just tell me to reuse it.
You can send me valid BBcode (the markup used when making posts), or you can send me HTML with inline CSS (style="..."), or you can send me HTML plus separate CSS that will be put into the <head>. Do not minify anything you send me -- I very often need to modify it slightly. Note that your ad's style may be affected by the board's default CSS, especially if you use inline CSS.
Common mistakes when creating ads:
- It is invalid XHTML to put a <div> inside of an <a>.
- Your ads will be affected by the forum's CSS. Your ads will by default have text-align:center and font-size:90%; your links will have :hover{text-decoration:underline}; etc. Make sure you insert your ad into a downloaded version of
https://bitcointalk.org/ad_test.html to see whether it looks OK with the inherited styles. (Read the HTML comments in that page.)
- If your top-level element is a block element (<div>, <span style="display:block">, etc.), it is sometimes surrounded by extra whitespace. It's usually best for your top-level element to be inline or inline-block.
- Special symbols, especially including & symbols in URLs, need to be converted into entities like &.
- Using tables often causes various problems.
To bypass Adblock Plus, you should:
- Use header CSS, not inline.
- Tell me that you want randomized CSS classes. You must use no more than 4 CSS classes per slot.
- Tell me that you want the anti-ABP JavaScript link fix.
- Use only one <a> and no other tags if possible. If your ads get blocked because of matching done on something inside of your ad, you are responsible for noticing this and giving me new ad HTML. (However, note that I do not guarantee that ABP will be bypassed on my end.)
Impression stats are here:
https://bitcointalk.org/adrotate.php?adstatsIf you're planning on collecting stats on clicks, you must put some tag in the URL. You will not get any referrer info from here, since browsers don't list HTTPS sites as referrers. I'd be interested in reading any stats you collect.
