Ooooh, nice new banner! :headbang

Hrmmm, why am I not surprised to see it's an Imola Red coupe . . . :shifty

This is a placeholder.

Also, imola red is the most popular color for the ZHP. :biggrin

Figured that it would appeal to the most people.

How selfish! It should be an AW coupe :biggrin:
(j/k, Marcus, I dig the new banner :) )

If I had an alpine white ZHP, you can bet that it would be AW, Wash. Hehe.

I think it looks sharp, but the way the roof of the car is cut off it feels like I should scroll up more.... and I keep trying :facepalm

It is always the same thing, as soon as one person begins to voice a slightly different opinion, our human nature makes us all focus in, and begin to voice our dislike.

So to keep up with tradition, I think the car in that spot, tucked up there in the corner, makes the upper left part of the page a little heavy.

Did you try the words on the left and the car in the middle? I think i am missing the cars in the middle.

It wasn't before you guys mentioned the roof line was cut off that I realized it was bothering me.

I saw it earlier today...but the Boss said it was just a placeholder.....so I didn't figure it was worth comment.

Yeah, they screwed with my view of it also.

Don't worry. This likely won't be a permanent banner. It's better than the M cars that used to be there, though, since this is a ZHP.

It's a temp.

Agree with the zhp thing for sure.

Also, one thing to learn about me: if you see changes on the site, but do not see me make an announcement about it, you can figure that I am putting the change in the "evaluation" category. It may not stay for long.

Sometimes I do make an announcement but wish I had not. These days I am putting more things in the evaluation category.

I had to give you a hard time because the imola, but that's just because everyone saw it coming, and btwn you and dane, it was a given! Lol. I totally agree that a zhp belongs there, and the m series had to go. I like the direction you are headed here! And 60 members online last night....major accomplishment! Side note, I was on my phone and should have been online....so its my fault we weren't at 61!

Soooooo, you like the input to evaluate with or no?

John, I definitely don't mind the feedback. But when it comes to this banner, it probably won't help much. I don't plan on keeping it. Feedback, though, is always appreciated because someone might say something that gives me an idea about something else. So, feel free to chime in whenever you'd like.

No problem, David. In a year, the traffic we get on this site now will be but a memory. We make new records around here on an almost daily basis. That's why I haven't been keeping you guys updated.

As for my use of imola, there really is a method to my madness. According to the registry, more people bought an imola red than any other color. If that's the case, then visitors to the site will likely be able to relate to that picture more than any other one. Same thing with my business cards. Imola red because chances are higher that the person seeing the card will have an imola red.

No time to give the rest us that don't live on the forums a chance to see it? lol

See what I mean? I've changed the banner again. Nothing permanent, though I do like this one.

Hit refresh or clear cache to see it.

I like this one too. Keep 'em coming. It's like trying on 10 different pairs of shoes till you find the right one

They just keep getting better! This one has a bit of a movie poster vibe . . . I like it!

I like this one. I'm a fan of artistic blank space offset by stark colors. Very stylish.

I liked previous one better :) this new one has too much red, with the car AND the ZHP letters.

Thanks, guys.

Your comments, even though these banners won't likely stick around, help with the final iteration.

Is it possible to move "Welcome, danewilson77.." and all of that stuff in the upper right hand corner....down....then have a totally landscaped banner entirely across the top?

Marcus-SanDiego
03-17-2011, 08:13 AM
In the next site redesign, that stuff will not be there. But for now, I don't have the know-how to change that up there. It requires tweaking the template. I can't do it.

OK...no worries. I still like you and you can still be my friend.

1) Banner looks great
2) How many times do I have to say that BLACK is the best color? :-)
3) I do link the universal, hot, imola red for the banner... looks good there (even though, again, black is the best color).

Yes - the St Pattys day banner with the imola is hot. I like the way the banners are going.
