Some people create their own banners in Photoshop and link to them on their own websites or other places.

Or you can do what I do which is just display thumbnails from the site with a title like : See more of my .... here

If you want I'll send you the text required for my method and you just fill in your lightbox number and the images you want displayed then paste it into the description box.

However IMO the first option looks the best and I'd be interested in hearing how others do that.

Create a UBB link, like any other forum link, to your lightbox or search.  Create an image, put it on the web somewere.  Stick a UBB tag to the image inside the UBB link above.
