Please refrain from blatantly advertising your site on TWC Today. Links in signatures are fine but making a topic to promote it is pushing it. The forum administration reserve the right to pull or remove any link.

I thought it was amazing! :P
I love the banner b/c we should never, ever forget that day. Though it was 9 years ago, in another way it seems like it was just yesterday. Sad day.  :cry:

There is a complete code rewrite in the works for the logo generation code to improve logo retrieval performance (i.e. generating times, faster loading). Although it's fast loading already, there's always room for improvement. Once I'm done, I'll load it in to the forums for beta testing before final release, in which I will then release the source code for public use, with support via PM, for use on your own websites.

In the interim, I have fixed the scheduling in the logo so that it follows TWC's programming schedule as of September 27th.

Let me know if logo related issues come up, i.e. blank image, errors pop up when you load the URL directly, etc.

Good luck with the code rewrite, Jesse!  It seems fine to me now, but I know you always like to improve on things. :P

The rewritten beta code is now live for a week long beta testing. Let me know if you experience any errors - specifically mention if it loads the wrong logo at the wrong time, if the logo is empty or not loading, etc. Thanks!

I've turned the main site's logo in to translucent reflective glass. It looks a lot better on the main page with a blue background, but it's live. I won't be implementing this on the forums, if you were wondering.

thoughts?

Well, it's been almost two weeks, and I haven't seen anything wrong with the rotating banners yet.  Nice job, Jesse!

I completely forgot about this :blushing:

Yes, the code has not seen any problems lately, so now I shall release the source code for all to use on your own websites, if you want, with full support via PM if needed, as it's a little confusing to most.
