For those who have a banner image in their signature line, I have adjusted the sizing of this banner to be more uniform. The banner is now:
468 pixels wide
60 pixels tall
Adjust your banners or images accordingly. If you want to display a small image that is not so wide just create size your canvas to the 468 width and make the image a transparent GIF with no background except for the image you want displayed. If you need help with this just post in the Support forum and I am sure one of the members (or me) can help out.
Cheers,
Jim
PS: This adjustment is final.

Too much of a bother, I just killed mine. I doubt it was used very much.

Well, I won't be able to fix mine until tonight. Oh boy, more time in front of the PC. The Mrs. has guns you know, and I think that she just might be ready to lock and load on me if I don't start going to bed with her when she does. She did make a statement this morning on my way out the door. Waking her up and all when I finally do get my lard self off the PC.
I figure that after 25 years, what's the big deal?

Oh Well.

Smart idea Jim. While I haven't seen it quite as bad here, I've been too some sites where folks get carried away with their sig image. We're talking 400x400 sometimes and larger.

Wasn't the size 480 x 60 just a couple of hours ago? I changed my banner to be that size so I guess now I have to do them over again. Darn 12 pixels

Actually, I don't seem to have to do anything. It looks fine just the way it is. Cool!

Me either.

But I am sure someone will design Rob a new banner image that is sized correctly.

Hi Phantom
I've uploaded a copy of your banner which should work into your A-UK folder.
All the best

Ken, is that a Sherman in the lower right of your banner? I can't see it very well. If it isn't you really NEED a Sherman on there.
I'll resize mine tonight when I get off work, IF I can remember how.

Rodger, that is an M10 in the right and an M18 in the left with an M36, an M3 75mm, a 76mm AT Gun, and a good ole bazooka in the middle.
As for yer banner:

That's really what I thought, but I wasn't sure. You've GOT to have an actual Sherman then, since you've got all the Sherman type variants.
