Title: Forum Banner
Post by: Anatol on February 02, 2008, 05:27:55 AM
I was wondering if you have any standard banner/advertisement button that you want people to use when they link to this site. Right now, my Lemmings site is using just some junky one I made on my own. http://lemmings.freeprohost.com/forum.png (http://lemmings.freeprohost.com/forum.png) :P

EDIT:
Maybe we could have a competition for making the banner ad? I guess the one I'm using now is my entry.

I think Mr. K already has one...
However, I'm in the mood for some artsy fun, so I shall see what I can do for the top bar of this site, because I can. =P

It looks good... All it needs is transparent-ing.

After, um, a great deal of ado, I finally got around to making a top-banner for the site.

Here you go. (http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/7766/lemmingsforumbannerxt2.png)

Neato! Will you use it, Mr. K?

...Gah, now I look at it again I realise I mucked up majorly with the transparency on the edges. If some kind soul who actually knows how to use an image editing program could make the fade-out at the edges better, I will be a happy pineapple.

You should make the color for "Lemmings Forums" stand out more, it's hard to see when it's over the grass.

I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave. The image is PNG and thus unlayered, so editing it now will be a bit of a pain. Sorry.

Guess I could attempt giving the letters yellow outlines.
But I will do that later. Sometime this month, I promise! =P

This'll all have to wait...

Firstly, I have next to no clue how to screw with the stupid TinyPortal themes.

Secondly, I may have to knock this all down anyway if TinyPortal isn't updated to support SMF 2.0 (or if I decide this has been useless, which it kinda has), so I'm feeling to lazy to go through all the work (plus we'll be reverted to the good ol' Lem-Forums theme, where that banner will match better, as opposed to here where the colors would look a bit off compared to the background)
