Forum / site banner
 

Loving the new Forum / site banner


however, something i've been meaning to ask for some time now....... does it need to be so ruddy big? If it were a third or more narrower, I think there'd be a massive improvement to the amount of forum you could see on screen at on time.

Hi riiidaa
Thanks for your post.
Out of interest , how big is it on your screen?
It takes up a little under a 3rd of my screen.

Thanks

my desktop 1600x900 22"

my netbook, 1024x480 maybe?

then there's my iPad and iPhone

Its huuuuge on a 22" widescreen monitor, it takes up about a third of the screen as it stretches to fill the wider monitor (and it goes a bit pixelly as a result).

Will try and sort it guy's:nod:

Do you have the same problem with the older banners, including the xmas one?

We've used a slightly different resolution but sized it the same as our normal banners...... we used a slightly different technique to produce this banner, which may be the cause of the problem. We are editing a new banner in a higher resolution using the old method to see if this cures the problem.

Its a right pain because we try it out on various PC's, Mac's, phones etc etc and its 'ok' at our end....... Hopefully the new banner will sort the issue for you, we will upload it as soon as we can:ok:

We do have a bigger banner for the forums than a lot of the sites out there because we like to try and change it up through the year to keep things fresh. We also like to make it a little more club focussed, using members pics etc etc the sizing we ended up with allows us a little more scope with the design:ok:

Hopefully the new banner will cure the problems:ok:

I just think they are a bit too big yep, in that they take up valuable space, they are all good looking btw

Ok, will play around and see if we can reduce the size a little but still retain what we want from the banner:ok:

Will upload a newer version of this one shortly:five:

Sorry for the double posting but is the current image any better?

(fingers tightly crossed)

it's not present now

You sure:paranoid: its showing on everything I have running here:cry:

no banner

the slightly narrower banner is visible now

Is it better on the larger screen?

Looking much better now :ok:

And less pixelated too :nod:
