so like a button for the site that leads to the forum? 
Exactly!

If you take a look at my 'external links' page, you'll see how I'm using them at present and the colour of the page etc.....
http://www.davidsearle.com/org/Links.htmYou'll see that 'visually' they are being used as seperators between various external links - however, if someone 'clicks' them,

they get sent here!
You'll also notice that I've 'stretched them' a bit to...... WIDTH="900" HEIGHT="23"> , as I said earlier, the colour fits quite well, and it's nice to have the 'forum member' on it still

or maybe a modified version........ something along the lines of 'David Searle is a forum member of 2012' (change the wording as you think is best.
and add something 'musical' - whatever you deem appropriate.
So not so much a 'button' per say....... just a dividing 'image' which I can use as a subtle 'link'
Does that make sense? - I'm sure when you see the page they're intended for, and how they're being used all will become clear.
Thanks
Peace and light
