With a site this big they definately need someone doing better professional graphics. I'm not a whiner but the yellow in the banner looks extremely tacky.

Exactly. Looks terrible. Not even a balanced design. Not even close to anything chic or pop art lol.

Seriously, that banner is the gateway to this site and as vaping increases in the general population and more and more people get off analogs, they need to have a professional looking point of entry.

It's nowhere near perfect, but i've got it done with greasemonkey, at least as done as it's getting tonight. I'll work on it some more tomorrow and fix the links and stuff. Tell me what ya think.

// @include        http://*.e-cigarette-forum.com/*
// ==/UserScript==

var theImage, altText;
theImage = document.getElementById('header');
if (theImage) {
    altText = document.createTextNode(theImage.alt);
    theImage.parentNode.replaceChild(altText, theImage);
}
ECF Banner Fix Pt2
Code:
// ==UserScript==
// @name           ECF Banner Fix pt2
// @namespace      http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/
// @description    PT2
// @include        http://*.e-cigarette-forum.com/*

Here's a sneak peek of the new banner. Please note it's still a work in progress, hence the blurry quality on a small part of it. Hope you like it!

I just slapped up that new banner because I was tired of looking at the old one, and to generate some feedback.

Seems to have worked.

Send me your new banners: 940px x 128px, jpg, <50kB.

Otherwise we will have to go with Angus' one...

:)

ps: that old blue text has got to go so don't include it in a new one. If we like your concept then I'll send you the original for a better quality start point.

Whilst Angus' art does have some da Vinci style qualities, that 'e' formed by vapor belongs on the Sistine Chapel. Poems can be written about it. Scholars can ponder it for years to come.

I need less ml of Nicotine.

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!

WOW seriously I'm still seeing the old one, with the vapor "e", Her head is a little more cut off than I'd like but otherwise even today she's still there, vaping away the forum name.

I'm a vet also, but could it be that, or that I'm using a mac. But, I still see her when I'm here on my phone.

I am kinda liking the Angus one.


NOOOO! I post this and she changed, darn-it. John I'm blaming you for this.

Well to anyone wanting to keep the old one, , i've found a much easier way of replacing it.

Code:
// ==UserScript==
// @name           ECF BANNER
// @namespace      http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/
// @include        http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/*
// ==/UserScript==


var images = document.getElementsByTagName ("img");
var x=0;
while(x<images.length)
{
if(images[x].src == "http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/logo.jpg")
{
images[x].src = "http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k466/johnreagannumber1/oldbanner.jpg";
}
x=x+1;
}
