I've had questions from users of the site about how to display the banner showing their personal collection stats and linking it back to their collection page here. This information is here on the site in a couple places, but I wanted to put together some simple instructions for those of you that would like to display your RF Generation collection in your signature.

Depending on the forum, the options you will have for setting up a signature will be to use either BBCode or HTML.



For BBCode, you can use the following code which will display your banner and make it clickable back to your collection page. For this example, you will need to replace the braces {} with brackets [] and username with your RF Generation username.

{URL=http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/collection.pl?name=username&folder=Collection}{img width=468 height=60}http://www.rfgeneration.com/images/banners/generated/collection/username.png{/img}{/URL}



For HTML, you can use the following code which will display your banner and make it clickable back to your collection page. For this example, you will need to replace the braces {} with pointy brackets  and username with your RF Generation username.

Sweet, thanks for making it easy for me!
 
Tried out the BBCode banner, and it works like a charm.

Thank you for giving us the lowdown!
 
Well if I have helped out the 'Norch, I consider it mission complete.
 
Interesting that it finally showed up on the RSS feed here now.
 
@Shadow Kisuragi: Yeah, no clue what happened.
 
Nice info!
 
I never realized this was never posted before.  I think I ended up viewing the code for NES_Rules banner once and copying that.  Hmm.  Now that the Shadowrun Returns Kickstarter is over (and successful) I will exchange it for the RFG banner, though I believe the reason I took it down originally was because it wasn't showing an accurate count of my games.
 
The info is available if you dig, but I couldn't find any one location that put all the code for the banner and linking together. The graphic is under the About -> Promote section at the top, and the links are just from the Tools section.
