Aww come on ... New ECF Banner

[JohnReagan]

Come on folks! That old banner was awesome. That letter "E" formed by vapor was as creative as anyone could get. Keep it! I can't believe it's gone.

As a newbie I shouldn't even get involved so I won't do a John Lennon and Yoko Ono circa 1969 style bed-in to protest, but the temptation is there.

Heck I'd even be happy with this one (pic attached) with Cassie (MistressNomad) in it!

This banner here gets my vote.

Do I get a commission for creating that one?

Believe me you deserve more than a few checks for creating that! I was hoping that someone would know who made it. Awesome work. Let's get it on this forum a.s.a.p.!

Well that banner that has come out - anyone with photoshop or ms paint could have created. Infact its amateur (don't hate me for being truthful).

I think there should be a design a banner competition.

I'm confused, it looks the same to me. The face of a nice looking female, vaping what I think is a 306, and a green LED. vape goes into the shape of a lower case e for the forum name. Except for her face being closer to the top, which I think will be fixed when the construction is all done here, what's different?

I made that in fun and posted it in MistressNomad's thread stickied at the top of the new members forum. It took me less than 10 minutes to do it and it was not meant to be a professional job to be used as a real forum banner. In fact since I did that yesterday the 'real' banner has already been changed.

I don't much like anything that says 'cigarette' on it, whether that word is on a banner or on a forum title. I think it works against us, legally speaking at least. And like most people I think, I've always thought of the word cigarette as a dirty word. I just have trouble understanding why anyone whose happy about having stopped smoking cigarettes would want to identify themselves with cigarettes again.

 

[Automaton]

You guys are crazy.

But, I will agree this new banner... is a little lack-luster. Sweet new site design... and bit block letters for a banner.

 

[SlimXero]

Maybe i'm slow or something, but i still see the old banner...

 

[JohnReagan]

what's different?

Here's the old banner guys. Lots of little differences. The 'e' in vapor was a work of art. Shame. True shame.

You know something, you're right. I have to agree with that.

How interesting ... this is what we're getting:

Can't be a cache thing can it? So weird you're still getting the old banner!

 

[SlimXero]

Nope, i clear my cache daily. That's quite odd. The only thing i can think is maybe because i'm a veteran? I know that doesn't seem like it would matter, but that's the only difference between us.

 

[SlimXero]

Greaaat now it's changed. Hold on, i'll be fixing that

 

[JohnReagan]

Good point - it could well be because you are a veteran that you saw something different. You were one of the fortunate ones there for a while, now you're stuck with the new design lol

 

[SlimXero]

stuck my foot greasemonkey, save me hehe

It must be. I have one window open from a week ago that I refresh and it displays the big ECF letters while a new window refreshes to the other picture with the smoky e.

Must be then. Damn I miss that smoky e. I hope they're taking notes. I guess I have no life.
