Post by: Twilight Wolf on July 30, 2008, 03:08:02 PM
As stated in title.

Anyone else notice this? I thought it was a pop-up ad at first.

Okay, then. That frees up one hand for holding my can of soda.

Let's say this person has long, almost shoulder-length, straight brown hair and a feminine figure.

that doesn't really answer my question

does it look like a guy or a girl ?
Title: Re: Holy moly, there be a new banner at the top of the page!

It depends on what you consider feminine and masculine.

I... does no one want to talk about the new banner? :( I worked so hard on it. Does it at least work well for everyone?
Title: Re: Holy moly, there be a new banner at the top of the page!

It works great for me.

It looks cool, too, KP. Nice work.

Post by: kamakaziplumber on July 30, 2008, 04:04:16 PM
Hooray!

Does it load quickly for everyone? That was my main problem. And, does everyone have Flash here? If some of you don't, I should fix it to show something else when Flash isn't installed...

Do it anyway.  You might have new members with crappy outdated technology.  You know, like Macs.

Hmm... Macs are bad. I'LL DO IT!

... I should probably fix the shadows a bit, too. They look funky.

Agh! Don't give things away, Tacheon! :'( Besides, I like it as a secret more. It's... fun. People will see it and think, "Oh, that's cool, it's hidden and their logo. Interesting and innovative. I think I'll join this site based solely on the quality of their banner."

*yoink* post baleeted

And fine, have it your way, but you should also make one particular thing that's hidden in there easier to find because I've been looking for it since you came up with the bloody original and I still have no idea where it is.
Title: Re: Holy moly, there be a new banner at the top of the page!
Post by: kamakaziplumber on July 30, 2008, 04:13:36 PM
It... it's there. It can't be any easier to find than it currently is, without just being more of the same. Uh... PM?

Post by: kamakaziplumber on July 30, 2008, 06:28:01 PM
I fixed it so that people without Flash will get the old banner, and a message to GET FLASH OR ELSE! >:( For now, it's only on the main page, though. Must collaborate with GF again soon.

But i warn you, i've been trying for years, it's impossible

Post by: kamakaziplumber on July 31, 2008, 01:27:24 PM
Ah, hmm... It's hard to "fix" it for slow internet. I suppose I could slap a preloader on it... might help, but, I don't think so actually. You could turn off Flash and it wouldn't load, then turn it on when you need it. I'll look a better solution up meanwhile.

EDIT:: I've got nothing. A search for some way to recognize connection speed and act accordingly with Flash yielded nothing. From what I can tell, your best option is to turn Flash off.

EDIT:: FIXED! People with slow banners will now have the option to play/pause the animation. Should help those of you who have this problem.
