I don't think you'd get banned for posting anything like this rofl.

Not sure if they'll use your banner, but it's pretty nice, who knows maybe if you got some community input, and admin input, they'd be willing to use a banner of your making. Not sure though as I'm not a forum administrator.

Good Effort though, personally I quite like it.

It's much more interesting then the one's we've got now. I recon if we replaced all the current ones with funky stuff like that it'd liven the place up a bit :)

Here is the Navi Demo I just whipped up I can always do it differently if the admins want something else.

I believe here would make the most sense for you.

They look quite nice and could bring an interesting new visual appeal to the game.

Size of the current Banner:
111.91 KB

size of your banner:
5,746.95 KB

i predict animated banners will lag Dial-up users.
if admin wishes to use a setting that allows people to change to animated banners, i don't see a problem, but part of the big selling point of this game is that you don't need a fast internet, or good graphics to play it.

^this.
Admin has been open to graphic changes in the past, if you make them lighter on the server load, might be interesting. :)

Good graphics, though. ;) Keep it up.

:? I suppose you could use a dial-up modem, just don't participate in any online battles.
Also, the current image totals are already 400k just for the main page. I still remember when I was on dial-up, and a 8mb download took almost 2 hours. So based off that, it would take 6 minutes to load each page as it stands :?

And if your gonna say "disable images", same can be said for the new banner ;)

It looks really nice, just the glow is rather annoying. Perhaps a static version?

Big difference between 5 MB per picture and 400 k total, Sarevok.. Also, your math is off. You load all pictures once, store them in the buffer and voila, where necessary they pop up. Server requests are still sent though, since the game correctly assumes not all of us have a smart browser.. :P

Looking great, Photon. ;)
