Contest - Pick the new banner photo
« on: May 15, 2014, 09:40:38 AM »
I think it's time to change the banner photo at the top of the forum.

Here's the only requirement: it must be formatted as 800 x 220 pixels(?).

Post your photos here in this thread. If they're your own photos, let me know. If they're from somewhere else, let me know that, too, and realize that, unless it's an official Brammo photo, we might not be able to use it due to pesky copyright issues.

I'll narrow it down to a few I like and then have a poll to choose the winner. Winner gets the deep sense of satisfaction of knowing he/she's won and the joy of seeing their photo every time the page loads.

Nice. Is the original any higher resolution? I blew this one up and it's pretty pixel-ish.

Is it possible to rotate through multiple banners at random when the page loads? i.e... not as you're on the site, but when it loads initially.  That would be cool.   8)

And for the record... I still like Gavin's the best.

I like A & D the best, but the others are nice too. Rotating them is a good idea.

Thanks guys. I like the idea of rotating banners. I'll check with skadamo to see if it's possible.

Hmmm. Is anyone else NOT seeing any banner photo at all in Chrome?

It was Adblock Plus, a Chrome extension, that was blocking the photos.

Wow... I really like the variety!
