It's still got the blur.....

Hmm...what size does it need to be, Gary?

For those interested...my username is derived from Tropical Storm Ernesto's Storm Alert fame. As most know, this was a ridiculous move by The Weather Channel, considering Ernesto was quite weak. The name is intended to be taken in a sarcastic tone.

For the site it needs to be 720 pixels wide and 100 high. For the forum it needs to be 670 pixels wide and 93 pixels high.

And I've figured out how to make it so that it doesn't! Take a look!
Looks like all you did was delete or move it. You need to remove (at least) the image tag for the SMF logo. Doesn't SMF have some kind of logo replacement feature where you don't have to mess with the template?

It has a feature where I can tell it what logo to use, but as you seen yesterday it just puts it up along side the SMF logo, instead of removing it.

Well that's retarded. :huh: Can you edit the template for the header? Like I said, all you need to do is remove the second image tag.

I can't even locate the template for the header!  :shocked:

Just to let you all know, the contact form is up and working again. I have tested it using files as large as 9MB and had no problem sending and receiving them, so I don't expect anyone else to run into any trouble, as was the case before. I think this time around I'm going to forgo the use of the seperate upload form. You can just e-mail me your files using the contact form.

Also, I'm going to begin implementing the winning design. Design A has pulled out ahead of the rest, and given the sparse number of votes we get in polls around here, i don't expect that to change.

In all fairness Gary, you only gave people a few hours to vote. I've always given people a week or two, b/c not everyone does or is able to check new posts daily.

The poll is, and will indefinitely remain, open. If by some odd chance another design wins, I will gladly make the change. But I'm telling you, around here, what you see now is what your likely to get.

You didn't see the poll about the new site design down in the Comments, Questions, Suggestions board?  :whistling:

Yeah, with folks like Krishnan and Thunder around, there's always something new to read.  :lol:
