 Outlined below are various questions you may find yourself asking but don't have to with our provided answers.

What is the Network Bar?
The Network Bar is a display of one-line, non-animated links that integrate into your board (the code can be customized to match the style of your theme). Insertion of a simple code displays a randomized list of text links that change upon every page refresh. The more boards that opt to display the Network Bar, the more sites will be displaying your link.

How do I install it?
To install the Network Bar, use the generator found on this page and add the generated code to your board's template; we recommend the footer area.

Does my board have to be on Zathyus Networks?
No, it can be on any forum system.

What are the requirements?
The only requirement is to have the network bar display globally on your site in order to have your link remain on the Network Bar.

How do I get on the Network Bar?
Add the network bar to your site; that is all.

How can I make my link stand out from the rest?
You may opt to purchase font and format styling options to customize your text link. You also have the option to change or purchase additional customizations at anytime by submitting a request to Cory. Customizations purchased will continue indefinitely.

What does the Network Bar look like?
Look at the bottom of this page to see the network bar installed on Big Boards.

My board uses multiple themes. How can I change the background and border color for a specific theme?
Add the following strip to the CSS you wish to designate, changing the text highlighted in green to your specified color.
Quote:
 
#lbcont {
border: 1px solid #FFF!important; background: #FFF!important;
}
What do I have to do to make sure my link stays on the bar?
You link will remain on the bar as long the bar is displayed properly on your site and your board is online and active. If we visit your board and both these criteria are not met, your link will be removed. When your situation changes, you may sign up for the bar once again.

Help! I've lost my code. How do I get it back?
Copy the code below, editing in the colors you wish for the border and background and reinstall on your board.
Code:
 
<script type='text/javascript'>
var bordercolor='000';
var bgcolor='161A1D';
</script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://bigboards.host56.com/links.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://bigboards.host56.com/nbmain.js'></script>
