Global Banner Topic Phun

So in the end I chose a different strategy for banners that you may want to apply to your forum:

  1. Create a new topic dedicated to holding the banner. It can be in any category. I usually prefer using #staff.
  2. Tag the topic with #banner, so you can find them later.
  3. Either make a short post, or, my usual, create an image with pixel size 627x123 (this way, the scrollbars won’t be triggered and it will appear “clean” in most situations) ; and use that image as the anchor for a link to the topic or link you want to highlight, e.g.,:
    [![anchor image](/path/to/the/image.png)](/path/to/the/target/link)

This way you can keep a collection of banners that will stick to an acceptable format, without touching your existing topics.
