Those kooky banners on the index

I've been having a real hard time with this one. I have a 468X60 banner I made and uploaded to FTP I've put it under my signature but its showing up as text. how do I upload it directly into the keenspace comic index for my comic? Is there more than just uploading it to FTP and then pressing full update for the que?

Your sig: See what happens when you use BBcode instead of HTML
Banner on guide: See the FAQ Sticky

what's bbcode is that the stars?

No. When you make posts, its using square brackets instead of <>

I'll show you how I did mine.
Subsititute {} for square brackets.
As you can see it is prefferable for you to upload your banner to the guide first. How this is done is addressed in the FAQ.

First of all, thanks for your help a lot! ... Um, now (as you can probably see) it's registering as an image, but the image isn't working... any suggestions? I will try reloading it through FTP, but that's about all I can think of. (...it's not showing up for YOU, either, right?)

Ah, I'll see about loading into the guide.

Thanks!

I don't see anything either. I suggest you upload it to the guide first.
Don't know how to do this?

1. Go to http://siteadmin2.keenspace.com/cgi-bin ... /login.cgi

2. Log in like normal. If you can't log in there are other forum threads that address this problem.

3. Click Edit "Your Comic's" Banners.

4. In the text box labeled "Banner Path" enter the UNIX PATH (not the URL) of your banner image: /public_html/images/banner.jpg

5.Click submit. It can take as long as a day for your banner to become available.

6.Notice that a new block will appear at the top of your banner page. The first line is "Banner ID." This number is important because it's also the new filename of your banner on the guide. For example, the banner in my sig has ID #1001.To link to it from the guide you need to reference: http://guide2.keenspace.com/images/banners/1001.gif (Notice that the file format stays the same. Only the name changes.)

7.Now, replace the reference to your sig banner new guide banner.

Done.
