$20 forum banner contest

OK give me a couple minutes to edit, upload, etc.
If your the admin of the site I think you can code it so the banner stretches or make it so the forums stay a defined size, I'm not too sure...

EDIT:
Revision:
No reflection.

 

Ok, well if you could give me the file with a watermark over it so I could try it out that would be great (doesn't have to be right now, logging off in a bit). I'm sure there will be some way of getting it right.

 

Did you mean the banner itself with a watermark?
If you do then here it is...

 

Yeah that's what I meant. I'll see if I can upload it now and see how it all works

 

Ok, hope it works out...
If not, let me know and I'll try to figure something out...

 

hmm, just uploaded it now and it doesn't work right.



Which is a shame because I like the wavey background.

I'll try posting on the SMF support forum and see if there is something we can do.

If not, how about the 3 buddies and the text on a transparent background?

 

Oh well, maybe the people at the support forum can help...
The buddies and text is no problem, you want me to post it right now?

 

If you don't mind. Do one with the sample too so I can see how it looks again.

Also do one with the reflection on too like before ... might look better if the background isn't going to be there, I thought it clashed a bit before.

I've posted on SMF forum so hopefully someone will help. I've just remembered that the waves you've got there are like the ones on the PS3 dashboard!

 

Ok here they are(they won't look right here but they will on your forums)



With reflection:


The waves aren't from the PS3 XMB but you're close, I have a PSP so I replicated the PSP's waves

 

Please kindly allow me to share my comment. Note that your forum ( smf ) is coded in template and your header background graphic located at

http://www.psnfriends.net/Themes/default/images/catbg.jpg

PHP:

From your print screen, i believe you are using widescreen monitor and using very high resolution. In order to have the best view for every resolution, you might consider fix the forum width to 750px or lower than that. This can be done via css editing ( 30 second work ).

If you are looking forward for a header, you can consider modify BoardIndex.template.php. If you are looking forward for a replacement logo, designers have to choose transparent background.

PS: Our latest smf theme

So what do I do with catbg.jpg? Is that the blue thing in my header at the moment?

I don't have widescreen, just a high res.

The fixed width might be the way to go .. what do I change in the css file and where is the css file located?

 

Made one for the fun of it.

thanks for the feedback, you want me to try my design with a different font?

 

Please consider replacing catbg.jpg with the winning header. Then modify the css and your header is up.

There are several css files there. All you need to do is modify this one.

body
{
	background-color: #E5E5E8;
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 12px 30px 4px 30px;
}

Add

margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 750px;

Code (markup):

before }

Please pm if you need our help.

 

Thanks zinruss, I'll try that.

Liking that one too now! I'll post that on the forum too.

To shadow and easydisplayname ... if one of yours get chosen will you be able to change the width of it to whatever I change the fixed width too? Probably just under 1,000 pixels.

 

You are welcome Chris. Will submit my entry soon.

 

i tried my design with a different font, feedback appreciated

 

Mine.

 

Both of those are the favourites but forum members are liking the first one most!

I've sent a pm to easydisplayname to get the size right.

Shadow, was really impressed with your effort too .. there may be a prize for you too, I'll pm you some time

Thanks for your time and entries people!
