New Header & Avatar Size Limit

[Bond]

- What does everyone think of the new header?

- The avatar size limit has been increased from 105x105 to 125x125.

[Typhoid]

Anti-progress, rabble rabble rabble!


I like the new avatar size thing, but not too keen on the header-ma-bob.
It adds a nice look of colour and brightness to the usual drearyness of the boards, but...I don't know, it just doesn't do it for me.

[Dyne]

Header doesn't really work out. Mainly because the resizes aren't clean.

I'll do it for you if you want.

[Bond]

Yeah, I know it looks jaggie as hell...

Let me find you the original URL of the images.

[Teuthida]

Huzzah for the avatar.

Not crazy 'bout the header.

[Bond]

Here you go Dyne:

P.S. You're the best.

[Bond]

Also, Dyne, have you noticed how you can't edit the middle of the header? It's all broken up into small pieces... must be for resizing the window?

And what exactly would make the header better?

[Dyne]

Yeah, it's being stretched in the middle by the code so it fits any browser. You can only touch the left and the right.

I'll do it up as soon as I'm done on Turok here. Woop woop overtime.

Do you want a new slogan on the top left? I still have the template lying around.

[Bond]

Maybe instead of a new slogan could you just make the "GameTavern" bigger?

And if you find better images or just want to do something totally different, be my guest.

The PS3 in the header looks like it is falling apart for some reason

[Bond]

Yeah, I had a hard time finding quality pictures of the PS3. Suggestions welcome.

[Teuthida]

How about something like this?

[Angrist]

For a second I was hoping Avatar: The Last Airbender had started again.

[Bond]

How about something like this?
Looks good to me.

[Dyne]

Let me fix it using the original image, the gradients aren't agreeing on the left there, and it looks pretty bad.

[Bond]

Dyne, I don't know if you want the original header or the original images Teuthida used, but here's the original header:

I'm trying to upload a new avatar and it says I can't upload animated pictorbs...
Don't work when I link it to my webspace, either...
But... Other folks have them! *points to germanator*

Was he some sort of special animated gif winnar, is this some form of glitch, or does the freedom to upload animated gifs as avatars no longer exist?

[Bond]

You should be able to upload a gif as your avatar.

I will go investigate this.

[Bond]

Try it now.

If you still can't get it to work post it here and I'll try it out.

[DeathsHand]

Try it now.

If you still can't get it to work post it here and I'll try it out.

still says I can't post animated images...

[Bond]

I guarantee it will work now.

[DeathsHand]

I guarantee it will work now.

No dice.

Edit: Mr. Bond, you are a nice man. But David Byrne seems to have eaten Peter Moore.

[Bond]

New guarantee it will work. There was an error in your permissions.

[DeathsHand]

New guarantee it will work. There was an error in your permissions.

Thank you, sir. I like having permissions. <3

[Dyne]

As you can probably see, I tooled around with the header last night. Any suggestions on logo slogans? I just went with GI Joe.

[Teuthida]

Header looks quite good. DO NOT change the slogan...at least not for a while anyway.

[Dyne]

Bwahaha! Knowing IS half the battle.

Also, thanks. :)

Do you guys prefer the top half of the wii remote or the bottom half? I've been looking at it, and I like the bottom more, because of the home button.

[Angrist]

The PS3 controller is hardly noticeable in that picture, not that I care or anything. :angel:
