Show Your Support for Rugby

<font size="4">In English - Show Your Support</font>


I'm pleased to release this for S2. I'm sure most people that contribute to any type of forum enjoy displaying those popular userbar icons. Not familiar to you? Userbars are those little 350 x 19 images that are often animated to show interests in sports, music, computer programs, games, etc. Well, to show my support for this forum I have created exclusive userbars for many rugby clubs and unions that you can choose from to show your support your favorite team or teams!


If you support more then one team you&rsquo;ll want an animated userbar to display multiple teams that fade in and out in one gif image. Of course I obviously don&rsquo;t have the time to animate everyone&rsquo;s selections together, but there is good news to that because you can do it yourself without any major programs. I have posted all of what I have so far, so all you have do is follow some simple steps:


1. Save the userbars for all of your favorite teams to your HD

2. Go to the Userbar Animator website listed below

3. At the website, browse down and you&rsquo;ll see this; &ldquo;Enter the locations of up to 10 userbars below&rdquo;

4. Upload all of the userbars you want in whatever order you like

5. Select the Transition Effect. The most commonly used effect is a &ldquo;fade&rdquo; with 3 seconds pause in between images

6. Once finished, click Create. The image is already hosted for you, so all you have to do is apply the URL to your signature with the IMG tags


You now have your very own rugby supporter userbar. Enjoy and comments of course are welcome. If you don&rsquo;t see your favorite team listed below, then feel free to make a suggestion and I&rsquo;ll see what I can do for you. I plan on creating rugby league userbars in the future.

<font size="4">En Fran&ccedil;ais - Montrez Votre Soutien</font>


Je suis heureux de publier ceci pour S2. Je suis s&ucirc;r que la plupart des gens qui prennent part &agrave; n'importe quel forum aiment afficher ces fameuses barres d'utilisateurs (appell&eacute;es userbars). Ca ne vous dit rien? Les userbars sont ces petites images de 350 x 19, souvent anim&eacute;es, qui servent &agrave; montrer ses inter&ecirc;ts dans le sport, la musique, des programmes informatiques, des jeux, etc. Eh bien, pour montrer mon soutien &agrave; ce forum, j'ai cr&eacute;&eacute; des userbars exclusives pour plusieurs clubs de rugby, et vous pouvez en choisirs quelques-unes pour montrer votre soutien &agrave; votre ou vos &eacute;quipe(s) pr&eacute;f&eacute;r&eacute;e(s)!


Si vous supportez plusieurs &eacute;quipes, peut-&ecirc;tre voudriez-vous une userbar qui les affiche toutes l'une apr&egrave;s l'autre, avec des images se fondant les unes dans les autres, et ce en format gif. Bien s&ucirc;r, je n'ai pas le temps de faire tout &ccedil;a pour chacun de vous, mais il y a une bonne nouvelle car maintenant, vous pouvez le faire vous-m&ecirc;me sans besoin de programme particulier. J'ai d&eacute;j&agrave; post&eacute; tout ce que j'avais jusqu'ici, donc tout ce qui vous reste &agrave; faire est de suivre ces simples instructions:


1. Sauvegardez les userbars de toutes vos &eacute;quipes pr&eacute;f&eacute;r&eacute;es sur votre disque dur

2. Allez sur le site Userbar Animator dont le lien suit

3. Sur le site, faites d&eacute;filer la page vers le bas jusqu'&agrave; ce que vous voyiez "Enter the location of up to 10 userbars below"

4. T&eacute;l&eacute;chargez toutes les userbars que vous voulez (10 maximum) dans l'ordre que vous voulez

5. Selectionnez le Transition Effect. L'effet le plus commun est le "fade" (fondu) avec 3 secondes de pause entre chaque image

6. Une fois termin&eacute;, cliquez sur "Create". L'image est alors h&eacute;berg&eacute;e sur le site, vous n'avez plus qu'&agrave; inserer l'URL dans votre signature, dans l'onglet IMG


Vous avez maintenant votre propre Userbar de supporter de rugby. Amusez-vous bien et les commentaires sont bienvenus bien s&ucirc;r. Si jamais vous ne voyez pas votre &eacute;quipe pr&eacute;f&eacute;r&eacute;e dans la liste ci-dessous, n'h&eacute;sitez pas &agrave; laisser votre suggestion et je verrai ce que je peux faire pour vous. Je compte cr&eacute;er des userbars de ligue de rugby dans le futur.

holy cow M Two One, this is awesome. Great resource for rugby fans</p>

 

[Shapecity]

</p>

Damn great job. Like I told you today I'm going to try and get into this sport by spending more time at that Rugby pub. Who are some young upstart teams to keep an eye on? I don't want to be a frontrunner and cheer for a well known powerhouse. LOL</p>

 

[GMJ]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (shapecity)</div><div class='quotemain'></p>

Who are some young upstart teams to keep an eye on?</p>

</div></p>

USA Eagles, baby</p>

</p>

 

[Shapecity]

What is some of the terminology and slang used in the sport?</p>

 

[M Two One]

Thanks guys.</p>

</p>

I just ate and about to head out, but I can give you the basics to rugby unionteams for now before I go. I know what you mean about the powerhouse teams, Ian, so what exactly do you want to look for in a team? That goes for anyone.</p>

</p>

</p>

As for rugby terminology, read up on that stuffon this Wikipedia catagory:</p>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Rugb...ion_terminology</p>

 

[Shapecity]

A team who plays with a lot of passion, but just don't have the experience yet to win it all.</p>

 

[M Two One]

Nothing remotely closerto that description then Clermont Auvergne. Though you may also want to look at Perpignan, Bourgoin-Jallieu, Bayonne, Bath Rugby, Saracens, Cardiff Blues and Bulls.</p>

</p>

Thing with Perpignan is that they're big spenders that still seem to falter and Saracens are similar. Bulls are a huge club in South Africa that never seem to win. They have the fastest player in the world though with Bryan Habana who can run at speeds of up to 27.5 MPH, if not more. He's considered as one of the fastest people on the planet. Bath, Bayonne, Bourgoin and Cardiff are teams that usually build through youth projects.</p>

</p>

This is Bryan Habana:</p>

</p>

</p>

[Shapecity]

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll try to watch a few games before I latch on to a team. Are any of those French teams from the Haute Savoie region?</p>

 

[M Two One]

Nah, the only one close to that department of the Rh&ocirc;ne-Alpes region in France in Top 14is Bourgoin-Jallieu. Theyare located in the Is&egrave;re department and just less then an hour drive south west of Annecy.</p>

</p>

The team plays at Stade Pierre Rajon. Their president is Pierre Martinet of the Pierre Martinet company, so they have good finaces. Their colors are unique and their jersey can be bought online here - http://boutique.csbj-rugby.fr/</p>

 

[NTC]

Rugby is in a bad state right now, far too much kicking, not enough running the ball.

 

[Chutney]

This thread made me dust off "Rugby 06" and try my hand at it again. Great job, M.</p>

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

Hell of a job, if I ever get into Rugby, I'll use one of these

</p>

 

[bbwMax]

Nice job also thanks for the program USing that now</p>
