Use the Banner! Banner Discussion Thread

And now to move to a social thread and break out the party food!

I thought of making a poll, but something tells me there's only one possible answer, and you can't set it otherwise, which kinda sucks.

You can make a multiple choice poll, just click on this button

And then you can choose more than one.

No, she meant that it would be a poll with only one thing to vote for.

Aah....
Then we just wait until we have 6 or so banners total, and then vote on all of them. But then we keep the same one up for longer, and I don't know how you want your banner rotations to go....

We were thinking about having everyone try to create a banner themselves, and then there would be a vote for the best one. However, then Lolly created the one above, so the idea may/may not still be important. However, if we want to create a rotation of banners, then it would be a good idea.

Speaking of a rotation, I made two more. They're sort of themed for the Prequel Trilogy and the Classic Trilogy, so I guess they could be used as anniversary things, or something, but anyways.

Classic Trilogy

Prequel Trilogy

And now, because it's like 1:20am, I am going to bed...

It's too bad that we don't know how )or are not allowed to) have multiple banners up at one time, because those are really good.

Too bad you can't rig it to just change randomly every time a user goes to a different page...

That sounds like an interesting concept. However, I don't think we can do that.

That's too bad...

I'm still trying to rotate the banners a bit.

I feel really stupid, going through the panel and trying to figure out ways to have up multiple banners at once. The only things I can think of are 1) taking two and putting them together, saving it again, and then putting it up, though this would make the banner too big, and that gets really annoying; or 2) making a seperate home page with a seperate banner on it. And then linking it to here.
Hmm....*goes off to ponder*

It's a free site, so I doubt that there would be the ability to have multiple banners up at once.

Jedi.net is a free site and they have multiple banners. But they're on a different server so that might have something to do with it.

It's free to join, but those who run it have to pay for those kinds of things, don't they? Isn't it like TF.N?

I'm not sure....

Actually, I think you might be right. Sorry.

Those kinds of forums have custom codes that they can manipulate. However, it was a good idea.

Oh well. Maybe we can hold a competition for making them, then have a vote on all of them. Then we sort of go from most popular to least popular over a specific time frame.

IDK.

We'll have a poll for the winner(s) once the competition is over.

Sounds good to me.

When should we start the contest?

I don't know. Maybe, the next issue of the newsletter, perhaps?

I sent out a supplement issue yesterday, but I forgot to mention the banner contest.

Yeah, that's why I said next issue.

OK, I missed that. Sorry.
