It can be a simple HTML file.

All you do is align the image as "Absolute Middle" and then redirect it to your forums. If you still need help PM me and I can write the code up for you.

pm sent. yeah. just looking for the code so that the image is centered, and it will take you to www.mysite.com/index.php when clicked.

replace this

Code:

<div align="center">

     <a href="http://link.com/to/your/forum" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="/path/to/image/" border="0"></a>

  </div>

With

Code:

<div align="center">

hmm it shouldnt have... the part of the code that makes it open new window is
rel="nofollow" target="_blank

oh and if you are useing firefox make sure you clear your cache before testing again....

yeah, its fixed. just had to clear the cache.

one more question though if you guys dont mind. lol.

the image is centered to the top of the page. is it possible to have it centered in both directions so its actualy in the dead center of the page? know what i mean?

Not really, vertical aligning the image will be pretty hard. You could add a couple <br /> after the <body> tag to move it down some, but getting it aligned vertically will be a pain.

Or you can read and try to understand this article: http://www.jakpsatweb.cz/css/css-ver...-solution.html
