It's 5k, I really don't think modem users will be bothered much by it. And as for setting it as background: if you already use a background image, the only option is to put your entire layout into a 100%...

[Menno]

and please do NOT use this forum to pimp your board. There's one thread here that's an exception to the rule (the big one with over 730 repies)

[Menno]

I fail to see the use for a static image though. A gradient (and most other patterns) are much better to be done in a background/repeated fashion. Saves bandwidth too.

[Menno]

yeah, thanks to your forum descriptions the gradient isn't long enough to cover the entire cell, obviously.

[Menno]

there are no shotcuts, no easy ways or guides to success. It doesn't work that way. Just read the forums (old topics), they usually contain what you're looking for. As to creating a style, it's easy....

[Menno]

plus, it looks crouded. Mostly because your forum descriptions are too long.

[Menno]

IMO the colors are loud, the layout is cluttered and animated graphics just don't fit in with the whole. As said before, some major toning down would be a good idea.

[Menno]

not to be a pain in the ass... well actually I am gonna be, but: asking nicely might help.

[Menno]

gee, here's an idea: actually reading this forum before posting things like these that have been anwsered many times.

[Menno]

*sigh* you might as well just search for web design tutorials in general, even though you won't find something for a garantueed good result, that's something that largely depends on yourself. The only...

[Menno]

well, the thing that comes to mind is that it's been done before.

If I had a dutch site I still wouldn't use dutch colors, since they're just too damn ugly. I'm sure there are better ways to express that the site is polish.

[Menno]

I still don't like the font combination too much, and the red in the logo is, imo, ugliest red there is (standart browser link red... I've grown alergic to it ). Try a darker shade.

[Menno]

exactly. IE can't tell the difference between cookies....

[Menno]

well, the colors don't go well together, and neither do the fonts you use.

[Menno]

no, it's not an issue in europe, or any other place that isn't america, I believe

[Menno]

hm, is anyone claming ownership on the graphics?

[Menno]

move along people, nothing to see.
(that is, one of these questions a week is more then enough. Read people! read! it would save all of us so much work )

[Menno]

read the forum, read the forum history and please don't ask things that have been discussed millions of times and are so easy to figure out with even the least ammount of effort.

[Menno]

ugh... I'm obviously gonna need to buy a new PC to quinch my UT thirst, but I played the beta a while back and damn it's good. *downloading demo now*
