I did a server banner for my server, and it shows up in Battlelog when you look at the detailed server info. However, a friend of mine said he couldn't see it. So maybe it's because I had typed in the direct url to the banner that it ended up getting cached into my browser? I dunno.

Are you using BetterBattleLog? I know I can see servers that have the banner set up. Maybe your friend isnt using BBLog.

Sorry thats not true. Join my server and see, it displays in the loading screen.

500x165 .jpg is the only way I've made it work so far, but it seems to stretch it out to a 760x168 image. I tried doing one in that res, but it didnt work.

b0wzy, we were told that this was intentionally not going to be implemented, so I'm really surprised by that. I guess EA had a change of heart. I'll have to update the page!

Hey, wait a minute! When I tried putting in a .jpg with a file size too large, it replaced it with the default NFO banner and I was able to see that on the loading screen. Had no one else ever had the default NFO banner set on their Easy Setup page to notice it on their server's loading screen until I just did?

Okay - what am I doing wrong here? Everything I've seen states that this image should work but it fails with "Your retrieved server banner was too large (over 127 KB), so the default NFO banner was used instead."

Except its not, the image is 25kb

Here are the properties of my image.

Nevermind - the server just didn't like the link I was using.

The link was like this previously: http://forums.traditionsportsonline.com ... jpg.28411/

I just uploaded it to imgur so now the link that at least seemed to have worked is: http://i.imgur.com/2fBQrRh.jpg

The manner that the system uses to download the banner is the same as how the game does it, so this saved you some time :).

This banner variable will likely be removed in the next game version.

This isn't the first thing we've all discovered DICE has in the game, but will be removing or changing. What are these guys thinking?

This one wasn't supposed to be in there in the first place, from what they have told us.
