Here are some more FAQS.

Q: Where did you get Affiliation code from for your forum?
A: Looking for codes? You can find just about everything you need right HERE

If the code you are looking for isn't anywhere in that index you can request one through this link. Be sure to read the rules before requesting a code however by going to HERE

Q: How do I do this affiliate thing?
A: After seeing this question one too many times I've finally decided to answer it here. First, if you already have an Affiliate table on your forum, then you should go HERE


PLEASE Make sure to read the thread "READ HERE FIRST" before posting anything.

If you do not have your own Affiliate table...

Code:

<table width='92%' cellspacing='1' cellpadding='4' class='bordercolor' align='center'>
<tr>
<td class='catbg' align="center" colspan='2'>
<font color="FFFFFF" size="2">
<b><center><font style="filter:glow(color=9C9C9C, strength=2); height: 2;">Affiliates</font></center></b>
</font>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width='79%' class='windowbg2' valign='top'>
<marquee onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()" direction="left" scrollamount="3">



</marquee>
</td>
<td width='21%' valign='top' class='windowbg2' align='center'>
<img src="YOUR MINI BANNERS URL" /><br />
<a href="AFFILIATE BOARD URL">Click Here to Affiliate!</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

**
Okay first, put this code into your Main Footers. You can find the Main Footers by going into the Admin area and clicking on "Headers/Footers"

Second, you're going to need a mini banner. You can make these with paint or photoshop or request one to be made for you HERE. All mini banners are usually 88x31 pixels in size.

Finally all you have to do is edit the code where I typed in all caps with your mini banners URL and the URL of your Affiliate board on your site. The affiliate codes for other boards go into the space above where it says </marquee>

Code:
<a href="YOUR FORUMS URL" Target="_blank">
<img src="MINI BANNER URL" width=88 height=31 border=0 alt="FORUM NAME"></a>

**
This is the code for YOUR mini banner to give to other sites. All you have to do is replace the capital letters with the URL of your forum and mini banner image, and also your forums name.


Q: How do I get an avatar? Or get pictures in my signature?
A: First you need to find a picture you like. Once you find a picture you need to host it. Imageshack and Photobucket are both great sites to do this with.

Once you've got your picture, right click it. In the menu that appears, go to the bottom and select "Properties". This will give you description of the picture including its Address (URL). Highlight the URL and copy it.

The next step depends on where you want to put it, for an avatar click the "Profile" button underneath the banner, then "Modify Profile". Next you want to paste your pictures URL in the box next to "Avatar URL", then set the size of the picture appropriately in the two boxes underneath that. *NOTE: Avatar size can be set to no larger than 100 x 100 pixels.*

To put the picture into your signature, follow similar steps as for the avatar. Click "Profile" then "Modify Profile", then scroll down to the box labeled "Signature". In order to have a picture display properly in a sig or in a post or anywhere else, the pic's URL must be surrounded by .
For Example: *Note: img needs to be captialized*
