(~ Guild banners
Q: What is a banner and how do I get one?
A: A banner is an image that you or your guild members create or buy, host somewhere online such as:
http://www.photobucket.com or xs.to, and then link to from your guild settings.
Be aware that like other images you use on Gaia, it's best to use something original that was created for this purpose, and never link to an image off of someone else's website. Make sure the image you use is one that you have hosted somewhere yourself.
If you don't know how to make an image yourself, you might want to try asking your guild members for help or try browsing in the Minishops forum for a shop that sells them!
Q: What size does my banner need to be?
A: The GGN banner display size is 200 pixels wide by 40 pixels tall. You can make your banner larger than this, and it will still display, but the excess pixels will be cropped.
To set the url for your guild banner:
Go to your moderator panel in your guild, and click the link that says: 'Edit guild settings' then look for the field labeled: 'Banner:' and input the url to your image. Note: Do not use the
