Or at least minimisable


Not to be a smart ass - but if you scroll down about 2 clicks of the wheel on your mouse, you get the same effect of a smaller/minimized banner.

I don't mind it on the front page, but to have to deal with it on every page getting in the way of content is just annoying.

I'm ok with it, coz I can nuke it with ad block. And I guess you just get used to it.

This is one of many ideas. Some are far more complex.



That's brilliant. If you could do a 1200x800 one with the word Hypercube instead of Atheist Forums that would be great Big Grin I'd even give you a write-up in the about box Great

Why the constellations? Seems highly unscientific. Big Grin

I actually really like the constellations. They may not be very scientific, but they are historic symbols of man's fascination with space.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

My point is, the banner is supposed to represent the forums. It doesn't make any sense to have constellations on an atheist forum, which is supposed to be naturalistic / scientific.
