It's in the works. wink Though we'll have to wait until the servers come back online either way. tongue

Okay, I'm really swamped with a college project as of late but this one was recently added to the server so it's going up! Thanks to nemisis for the effort and waiting for everything to be worked out. grin



That said, I want to clarify something for banner work starting from this point forward. I think we as a forum need to be more about running sites then we do promoting them. So from here on out let's try to keep the banners pointed more towards what it takes to build/design/maintain a website rather than highlight specific ones.

I'm not pointing fingers at anyone of course, just thinking out loud and trying to shift the focus of what newcomers see the point of this forum being. It's obvious to me that things like the "join my site" topic need to be emphasized more heavily and that we need to make sure the majority of discussion is about the sites themselves rather than the "please sign up" topics. happy

Sound good? Feel free to post any thoughts or PM me if you want to talk about anything I mentioned.

Awesome! Though, it appears my gradients are a bit...messed up. Perhaps I can make knew ones...

Sounds good. I may begin working on another by the time summer starts. It sure is cool seeing my work put up around here. happy

I don't think anyone else noticed this, and if they did then I didn't see it, but if you look at the sider bar, the third phrase are the initials of the New Sith Order plain

That's exactly why I wanted to get this one uploaded, the more stuff we have to work with and learn from the better we can get. I think this is the last one we'll put up that features individual sites and now move towards banners that lean in the direction of what I posted earlier. happy

I'll take a look at those gradients and talk to gabe - probably just a wrong URL somewhere. wink



Oh and in case anyone is wondering, I'm going to put these and future banners on rotation so we can see all the stuff people have created. I want to make sure we're saying thanks to those that put the effort forth!

Sounds good. As I told you, this summer I will work on one that focuses on the creation of sites, rather than main sites.

And uh...sorry, I had to take these colors...I just don't feel right without them. tongue

I noticed that. I couldn't make out the last word on the second set...I have "star wars" but I can't read the last one because it was too dark, with the dark grey backgrond. But if you have the NSO in there, you have to have the JT. LOL. tongue


Nemisis, I love the banner! happy

I do too, and I think it says Star Wars Hull.

Just spoke with gabe, and he said the reason the image is messing up in the boardcolumn is because of the image URL being defined in the html code for the page itself and not the system style. Soooooo, basically I'm not sure how to correct it as of right now because it may mess up the rest of the header. thinking If I hear an idea from him about it or think of something I'll let you know, otherwise I'm not sure what to tell you. Sorry it doesn't look quite the same as the preview version.
