Just an idea... back when i had my frontier i was on a frontier forum, and of course they did a truck of the month every month, like we do a COTM. So they had their banner set up so the winner would get their truck displayed on the banner for the next month untill the new winner was decided. Maybe you can edit out the subaru (as much as i love it and wouldnt change it) but make it so that part fades out, and you can put the Contest winners rides there for the month. Then atleast its changing every month and it would make everyone happy for those subaru haters out there :P

That's been suggested its just the fact that someone has to maintain it every month plus we have to have decent photos of the winner to make the header work.

It might be best to just decide upon one car and go with it.

Well spending 5 minutes a month doesnt seem like a lot of work to me.... i mean thats how long it would take me to change the banner on my website... maybe this forum is harder or something.... not to me not that big of a deal...

and 99% of the time, the contest winners always have some beautiful pictures. a good quality picture is what helps you win IMO.

So again, i dont htink you would really have that many problems...

Its not that its harder its just that its another repetitive maintenance task that needs to be done every month for the forum.... maybe I just have to much going on in my personal life but if one of the mods has time to do this then I'm happy to run with it.

thats more what i was getting at, you've got like 10 mods... one little extra step once a month is a big deal? lol of course for one person, thats another story. I mean **** id even volunteer to do that, not a big deal to me. and im sure it would appeal to everyone else much more than seeing the same subaru over and over. But thats just one opinion, maybe someone should open a poll and see what the rest of the forum thinks.

*edit im bored, i think i will haha.

I'm still using the new layout, and I love it. It makes all the colors in peoples posts (with the exeption of Acura's avatar) pop out. Looks good. But I'm used to using the little "forum" botton that was in the banner, and I missed that today. Before today I was checking the recent posts thing in the middle of the homepage, but I miss it at the top. It was useful.

Otherwise, I'm loving the colors.

Sweed I know its not quite the same but I moved the Forum and Gallery links out the header and put them here instead:



We all (the staff that is) agreed this fitted the new theme much better than the old links....

As well as shrunk the forum width making everything viewable for us still running a 1024 x 768 resolution.

i know that it has been this way for a bit but the color scheme is cool at first it scared me once i got on but i have a liking to it since when you got on back then it was bright white(i think ) and now once you get on it doesn't hurt the eyes as much. it is useful to me and i hope it says this way for awhile.

But I think it's becuase of the forum width....
Doesn't IRC have a thing where you can select forum width?

Not really sorry - its all one fixed font size so if I do one I have to do them all and then we run the risk of it not fitting on one line.

Like where it was, built in as a link on the side of the banner, or where the 'forums' thing is in the banner.
