Participate in building a worldwide network for bicycle travelers. You operate a homepage which concerns traveling by bicycle? You don't have a forum of your own yet? We then offer you to install our forum into your homepage! It is very simple and connected to no costs or administrative overhead. Just insert a link and you're done.

What speaks for it? Now, on the one hand a forum lives from the contributions of the visitors. And the more visitors, the more contributions. Forums, which are operated by individual homepage owners, usually fail because of too few visitors. We think it makes more sense to merge the same forum into several homepages.
On the other hand the used forum is completely based on a SQL database and thus offers a lot of freely definable display options, compared to other forums. It also offers a very fast search function, which lets the user search all topics for keywords. Any registered user has his own profile with individual settings.
In addition, he is immediately informed by eMail if answers to his posts were written.

Participating is not just putting another link to the forum into your link list. Make it part of your homepage! Add a new "Forum" menu item to your homepage-navigation! You can insert the forum into the frameset of your homepage or let it open as an independent window.

Over a normal textlink:

The link also can be placed over a graphic: (You can find additional graphics under banner graphics)

Example:
Code:	<a href="http://globike.net/"><img src="/images/forum_sun126x60_e.png" width="126" height="60" border="0" alt="International Bicycle Travel Forum"></a>

The design of the forum is adaptable to your own homepage. This possibility is optional and can be ignored if you are satisfied with the standard representation.

The appearance of the forum is done with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). For a change of the design simply the name of a predefined stylesheet-file can be submitted when calling the forum. Four different designs exist at the moment. However, you are welcome to create a new one also which we then file for you on our server. For this you simply take one from the existing stylesheets, adapt this correspondingly and send it to us.

The specified design will be used until the visitor logs in with its name and password. This happens because the personal settings (only if provided) of a registered member overwrite the design provided by you.
But if a visitor registers himself as a new forum-user over your homepage, then he receives your predefined design in his user profile (of course he can change it later).

Design:
Stylesheet:	bf	bf_desert	bf_black
Code	<a href="http://globike.net/ubbthreads.php?style=bf_desert">Forum</a>

Other stylesheets: bf_nature

The only condition is to write us an eMail containing the URL of your homepage and a short description of the page, so we can add it to the list of the homepages involved. If you have questions, just write an eMail to forum@globike.net
