Banner Issues

Post by Methgair »

Hey there everyone.  We just added Methgair to the listings here and it's finally showing.  I'm having trouble getting the banner field to show though.  We've got the banner uploaded to a google drive and are trying to add that url.  Any suggestions would be wonderful.

Make sure you use http:// and also ensure that it does not require you to be logged in to google for it to show.  Ex: you should be able to send the link to anyone and it should show the image.  I'm not too familiar with google drive but as long as it allows linking straight to an image file it should be ok, otherwise you may want to use something like imgur.  I personally suggest to just self host on your shard's website.  Less variables that way. But imgur etc should work.
