First and foremost I am deeply sorry if im posting this in the wrong place.

But I am in need of drastic help.

I have recently bought a domain and hosting so that I could run a poker forum. However, I am having so much trouble trying to add my poker affiliate links (banners and trackers onto sites). I am being told, by each individual poker affiliate that all i have to do is copy and paste the links they provide. But the main problem is this, when i directly copy and paste, add it to the topic, submit it, and then, after its been submitted and its a new post all i see is a bunch of coding....no banner, and certainly no tracker to take my members straight to the specific poker site.

I would really appreciate ANY help anyone could give me on this. Im at my wits end. Please, can I ask though, if anyone has any advice could you please explain it in lamons terms as im quite computer iliterate lol.

Thank You in advance.

In order to put a functioning link into most forum software you have use specific code format that is usually somewhat different from 'normal' html links. If you could provide a link to the problem areas, we could help more easily.

Okies thats one i managed to play around with and do myself, but most other ones i can't get to work. Like this, and i did the exact same thing as i was told from the site that provided the banner and tracker above. Copied and Pasted it.

This Paradise poker one looks as follows

<!-- Affiliate Code Do NOT Modify--><a href="<A href="http://www.paradiseaffiliates.com/members/registration.asp?btag=a_8643b_147"><img">http://www.paradiseaffiliates.com/members/registration.asp?btag=a_8643b_147"><img src="http://www.paradiseaffiliates.com/pr...ag=a_8643b_147" alt="Paradise Affiliates: The world's premier online poker affiliate program" border=0></a><!-- End affiliate Code-->

Can you understand what i mean? The above is staying as coding whereas the the3dpoker banner you can actually see. If you edit this post (if you have access to that???) you will see the coding of both banners.

Here is a link to my site where i will be putting the banner incase you need to look there to understand what im saying.

Im really sorry, I know i prob sound as though im rambing on, and i do appreciate you helping, thanks hunni

Well, I can see why it's not working. That code is seriously messed up.
It should be:
<a href=http://www.paradiseaffiliates.com/members/registration.asp?btag=a_8643b_147"><img src="http://www.paradiseaffiliates.com/members/registration.asp?btag=a_8643b_147" alt="Paradise Affiliates: The worlds premier online poker affiliate program" border=0></a>

The doubled <a href="<A href=" is wrong and the <img> tag is wrong in the code you posted.

Thats strange that was the exact code i copied from the poker site.

Anyways, ive tried to put it onto my forum what you changed it to

<a href=http://www.paradiseaffiliates.com/members/registration.asp?btag=a_8643b_147"><img src="http://www.paradiseaffiliates.com/members/registration.asp?btag=a_8643b_147" alt="Paradise Affiliates: The worlds premier online poker affiliate program" border=0></a>

and its still not showing any kind of banner, you see this happens with a lot of the banners i try to add. Some work fine, and others like this just dont ever show as a banner, only as coding.

Any ideas where i'm going wrong?

I just went by your forum and don't see anything wrong with it........ where are the banners you're trying to fix?

Ok, you're using phpBB, so that means that in order to put an active link into your forums, you have to wrap the link tag code in the proper tags specified by phpBB, I *think* it's . That's how phpBB adds links.
