+MJSDB Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Juhuuu finally, there are results. Thank you for the second place,I'm really looking forward to the coins and of course congratulations to jokergil. Thanks a lot again for the great competition it was really fun. I've just one more question. Can we also include the other winning banner (2nd and 3rd place) in our ec-pages? Quote Link to comment
Narnian Rockhound Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Great stuff, well done & congrats to the winner(s). Am updating my EC pages now - how are y'all incorporating this thing? Quote Link to comment

Is it just me, or is there some kind of problem with the link to the banner? Quote Link to comment
+cincol Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Congradulations to all. Is it just me, or is there some kind of problem with the link to the banner? Worked pretty good for me. Quote Link to comment
toczygroszek Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Regardless the winning banner, could we use one of others? Quote Link to comment
+Fermentum Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Well done Jokergil and to MJSDB! Looking forward to the coins! Thanks everyone for voting! Feel free to use my banner (although the wrong one was put on this thread, the later version had shadowed writing!) if it is permitted! Regards Quote Link to comment
+Carbon Hunter Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Well done all - they were ALL excellent. Be happy to have them on my EC listings. Quote Link to comment
savant9 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Here is some quick html if you just want to tack the banner on at the end of the listing. I am assuming hotlinking to the image is ok... <br /> <br /> <center><!-- Earthcache Banner --> <div><a href="http://www.earthcache.org"><img src="http://www.geosociety.org/earthcache/Images/banners/OfficialECBanner.jpg" /></a></div> <!-- End Earthcache Banner --></center> Quote Link to comment

And thanks also to the team Earthcache, to allow the three winning designs will be more variety! Thanks. To update the html of my erathcaches ... Greetings from Barcelona (Spain) PS: I really want to get geocoins... will be the first. Quote Link to comment

+BeccaDay Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I hate to admit this but I don't know how to put a picture on to my page listing. So I can't put the banner on. I'm sure this is an easy html code linking to the image hosting site. I just don't know what it is. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Thanks! Quote Link to comment

+Loony Londo Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Well done all Thanks for the code. I have now put the banner up on my four eathcaches. Quote Link to comment
+FitReviewer Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Hello, unfortunatelly, banner disappeared from Geosociety.org website - which means broken link in hundreds of cache pages. Is there any change to contact Geosociety and get banner back to original URL? It would be better solution than fixing so many linked listings. Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Here is the URL of the copy of the EarthCache banner that I uploaded to geocaching.com for my EarthCache: https://s3.amazonaws.com/gs-geo-images/88e3c6d5-d7f5-4796-ba26-2dcc3624a6a2_l.jpg Quote Link to comment

But I will try to contact GeoSociety to get banner back to its original URL. So many listings are linked to that one .. Quote Link to comment

+GeoawareGSA1 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Hi, We just updated our site so this link: http://www.geosociety.org/earthcache/Images/banners/OfficialECBanner.jpg Should now point again to the proper file. The actual file resides here now (the old URL just redirects here), so please use this URL moving forward: http://www.geosociety.org/images/gsa/earthcache/OfficialECBanner.jpg Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Now that the redirect is set up, on any cache pages that had the old URL, the image should appear properly. If somebody has a page that points to the old link, and can check to see that things are "okay", I'd love to hear their results. --Matt, GSA Quote Link to comment
