# Bump Banner

{% hint style="info" %}
Bump banners may become a premium-only feature in the future
{% endhint %}

If your server is *amazing* enough :sunglasses:, you may want a server banner. This is something most professional owners want for their server and can pull your members in even more to join your server. It is one of the most beneficial ways of getting members to join your server.\
\
Follow this simple step-by-step guide and you will have your own custom banner displayed below your server message in `#bump`!

{% hint style="info" %}
Colourful banners that have variations in colour pull in your members to take a few more seconds to view your bump message. Use differentiated but nice looking colour combos!
{% endhint %}

## Step-by-step

### 1. Create the custom banner

You **must** name the image file `banner` and make sure that the image format is either `jpg`, `png` or `gif`

{% hint style="info" %}
`jpg` and `png` are common image formats, so if you are unsure what format your image is, do not worry
{% endhint %}

### 2. Upload your image

Head over to <https://postimages.org/> and upload your banner image.

<div align="left"><img src="/files/-LS5gp7O-N7t4fSXZmlh" alt="postimages.org&#x27;s homepage"></div>

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure `No expiration` is selected before you upload! Otherwise after a certain amount of time your image will disappear from your bump message. :eyes:&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### 3. Copy the URL

Copy the URL link from the `Direct link` field

<div align="left"><img src="/files/-LS5nXPH7bLrq-k_qu9L" alt="Banner URL link on the site (Option Highlighted)"></div>

### 4. Add banner to bump message

Add the banner URL to the **start** of your bump message in the `#bump` channel topic and save!

<div align="left"><img src="/files/-LS5oGgZcQxSvXV8qrEW" alt="The &#x22;Topic&#x22; field including the banner URL and the bump message"></div>

{% hint style="danger" %}
Mature content (eg. NSFW, Severe violence) in your banner is strictly prohibited and will result in an immediate service ban for your server and possibly your discord account
{% endhint %}

### `!bump` your server

Your bump message will appear with the banner! Your all done :thumbsup:

<div align="left"><img src="/files/-LS5pP135MatzQMxfqJa" alt="A successful bump message with the banner visible (Banner Highlighted)"></div>

{% hint style="success" %}
The image URL is not shown at the start of your bump message once bumped, so no clogging up of your amazing partner message :ok\_hand:
{% endhint %}

## Common Errors

`No bump message is sent` The URL provided is most likely wrong

`URL is included but banner is not showing` Are you sure you placed the banner URL at the **start** of your bump message?
