well I decided to educate myself a bit and do some research. so now I know bb codes and html codes are not the same, here we use bb codes, on myspace the html ones. so I saved the banner on my pc, uploaded it to photobucket.com, used the html code they create automatically there, replaced the bit where it pointed back to photobucket and there, I got my banner working. I know much more now. Yay, go me!
