Post by: cyberwollf on March 02, 2010, 17:48:02: Ok issue settled. I also had to remove a few for sizes. This contest will replace the current banner at the top of our site so it will need to be able to fit. Some of the above entries are not totally to spec, but with a little finessing they can be made to fit. I didnt want to penalize a persons hard work just because they may not know exactly how to size the pixels appropriately.

Bottomline: I removed the square ones they clearly couldnt fit :laugh:

Post by: lazylivin on March 12, 2010, 23:34:48: Don't know about the rest of you, but now seeing it up, it does not look good at all. Does not match the website theme colors.
Title: Re: Jan-Feb Photo Contest
Post by: lazylivin on March 13, 2010, 00:36:14: I know this is different color then what was original but what do you guys think? It is matching the theme color in header and if it was right aligned may look better. I emailed it to Gary to give it a try. Thoughts?

The darker should have a better contrast with the site's blueish gray backgrounds.

Post by: reefman on March 13, 2010, 09:00:03: The forum needs to be a fixed width with the banner across the top 100% any spacing on the sides loooks bad.
Title: Re: Jan-Feb Photo Contest
Post by: ohioreef on March 13, 2010, 09:18:29: Just got the new banner uploaded.....I like!! Looks a lot better.

I have posted a question on the SMF forums to see if there is a way to fix the sizing issue. I'm sure there is.

Post by: reefman on March 13, 2010, 09:39:03: For me the banner just need to be bigger!! to much space around it.

Title: Re: Jan-Feb Photo Contest
Post by: reefman on March 13, 2010, 11:03:22: yeah either right or fixed width for the forum would be good.

.....but the pic is constant size.

That's the problem. The forum doesn't resize the banner. I'm hoping there is a fix.
