Alright, seems like your sissy e-mail address can't handle a 42MB attachment. Silly.
I'll try again, this time with a bit of a smaller size picture.

You can also make it a daily changing image (I believe that can be done by a javascript code in the 'head' section of the page.

KillerB, did you receive the high res picture?

Yes - it's enormous and sitting on an external hard drive so that Treacle can mess about with it.

Now there's an idea. We can make seven good ones, let them alternate for a month and have a poll?

'Sorry? What was that Treacle?' 'I can shove what?' 'Well thats not very nice...., from such a charming Lady as well!' :wink:

I'll throw this one in as a small picture that would take the place of the @ on the top banner. I think the colours complement, and then I'd leave it alone as a modern,stylish banner for our site.

Please could we do this one soon, even if only pro tem, so that passing visitors don’t think us too amateur? I would also change the colouring behind “The Port Forum.com† to make it dark grey.

Either the Niepoort or the barrels are good by me...

My verdict on the graphic

The colour fits in well. And I think its modern and stylish. The down side is its difficult to make out the details. So its an improvement, but not quite there yet.
Maybe make it a little bigger, but leave the design as it is and simple? Maybe put the Barrell picture on the right half of it, doctoring the shade to fit in?

Just a few random thoughts, but well done. We're getting there.

This is just a starter as it was easy - even I could do it. The rest is a bit more difficult and requires the input of a CSS expert... Treacle.

Before we move on to bigger and better things, I'm going to have a small 'Billy BigHead' moment. As we stand, I suggested the Forums name, and the little picture on the banner.
Now I know it wasn't rocket science, but its not stopped me purring like one of your cats!

Right then. Que the bringing me down to Earth with a large bang... :lol:

If you need a html code for a daily changing image, see the rocawijnen site. If you look at the page source, there is a code in the 'head' section of the page that you can copy/paste. The only thing you need to do is make some pictures and change the names of the images into yours.

Jumping a bit late in the topic, I'll put some links to pictures I took though I did not crop anything yet. If you feel you'd like some high resolution ones, let me know.

Umm... can't help feeling that flask thingy looks a bit technical and geeky - might put some people off perhaps...

We've had some nice pics of barrels offered up - is there a problem with using them?
