Forum banner

I think the forum would look MUCH more distinct if you replaced the current phpbb (creating communities) image in the upper left with something a little more LG15 specific. You don't even have to change any code in phpbb to do this - all you have to do is create whatever image you would like, give it the same name (logo_phpBB.gif - you could make a smaller one too for your admin panel image), and overwrite it in the appropriate folder. I have done this with much success on my own forums, and it went a long way towards making my forums look much slicker and much more unique.

Just a thought

. The generic Php skins never bugged me so much - a forum is a forum, but your banner should at least be unique

.

That is all. Back to lurking!

With the work Raven and I have gotten ourselves into, I took this as an opportunity for a break

I took a crack at it, anyway. It might not fit perfectly with this color scheme, but I figure it's best to keep the LG15 logos using that shade of blue, and it's pretty and stuff.

I like it, Hodabes! Anything to brighten up the forums--they're like second homes for many of us recently anyway!

That is a great idea
something to make this site more unquie
I think we should have different ones for different seasons maybe?
Mainly take the same design and change the colors
like orange+black for Halloween, red+green for x-mas, white+blue for winter, etc... etc... etc....

I hate to burst your bubble, but I don't think there's any way that this series is going to reach Christmas.. I think it's going to end probably in the next week, in fact.

This looks fantastic! The font is a little cut off at the base, but if you can fix that we'll put it up. Let Terryfic know and if he doesn't have enough permissions to do it, then I will. THANKS! Sweet...

Oh, weird. There must have been a terrible accident in my image editing program that day. I re-uploaded, so it's all good now homey.

How sad is it that a new banner is the most exciting thing to happen around here? And it's already 1:31 the 13th where I am!

Well, they still have two and a half hours until midnight, their time.. There's hope.

Actually, hating to burst you bubble (what a silly saying), the series is contracted for 6 months. Which is about June through November or early December.
