Every server and every player has live banners you can put on your website, forum signature or blog. Open the server’s or player’s page, scroll to “Banners for your site”, pick a style, and press Copy next to the code you need: HTML for websites, BBCode for forums, or a plain image link. Banners update every minute and link back to the page on SOF2MP.com.
Image banners
| Size | Pixels | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 480 × 60 | Forum signatures |
| Wide | 640 × 160 | Posts and page headers |
| Box | 300 × 400 | Sidebars |
Each is a PNG picture, redrawn at most once a minute. Each also has a double-size version for sharp screens; the HTML code uses it automatically. Server banners show the name, players online, map, mode and a graph. Player banners show hours, rank, rating, a graph of the last 30 days, and whether the player is online; verified players also get their picture, clan and level.
HTML banners
HTML banners are small live pages shown in a frame. They fit the full width of wherever you put them and have a fixed height:
- Bar: one line, 64 pixels tall.
- Card: the key numbers and a graph, 170 pixels tall.
- Full: everything, including who’s on and the regulars, 520 pixels tall.
Each has a dark and a light theme, and refreshes itself every minute.
Add one to your site

- Pick a style and theme. The preview shows what you’ll get.
- Copy the right code. HTML for a website or blog, Forum (BBCode) for a forum post or signature, or Image link for anywhere that takes a picture address.
- Paste it into your site.
Questions
My banner isn’t updating
Banners are redrawn every minute, but your site, forum or browser may keep an old copy. Reload the page. If you run a site behind a cache such as Cloudflare, make sure it respects the banner’s own cache settings.
Why is there no banner for a player?
Hidden or deleted names have no banner, and an alias’s page doesn’t offer one; use the main name’s banner.
Do the banners slow my site down?
No. They’re small, use the visitor’s own fonts, and load nothing from other sites.
