Title: Love the new forum banner!

Please make it a click-able home button.

The banner is still not-click able. Also, would a centering of the banner help?

I dont like it .. it feels too big and it doesnt match the color scheme of the site. I am blocking the image every time it pops up for me.

Hey fallen.. it has all been about just trying the banner there.. it's now been made thinner, height wise (smaller), and given a splash of some coordinating color.

It's all just a potential work in progress.  ;)

Well good job trying to spruce the place up! :) Still not too crazy about the banner.. IMHO the size still doesnt feel right to me and the "All poster forum" font seams too plain. Something more this size or a bit simpler would be more fitting, in my eyes anyways.

The original banner didnt have the name... just the letters on the hillside... and it could easily go back to that. I had already made (but not uploaded) an even narrower (height-wise) version, earlier today.

Its worth a try... why not, right?  ;)

I like the current banner without the "all poster forum".  I would put that information to the right of the banner where the useless 'Also visit the All Poster Blog" is taking up space...

Something like...
All
Poster
Forum

(either centered on left-justified)

Otherwise, the banner need to be centered across the full page and the 'all poster forum" text needs to be centered on the image.

The other option is clichéd mediocrity...

I am still not sold on the font......it should be period matched to that vehicle and not off the dust jacket of a Twilight book. 

I am not sure the make or model, but that looks like a mid to late 30s ride to me or at least its meant to look that way based on the lights and vertical grille.  Looks like it might be a Packard or Olds.  Maybe one of the car buffs can figure it out.  Anyway, based on that, maybe an art deco font?

Title: Re: Love the new forum banner!
Post by: MoviePosterBid.com on June 13, 2014, 03:56:06 PM
the font should at least match or closely resemble the APF font on the "Hollywood sign"
the moon & clouds should also be removed to clean up the image and get rid of the eye irritant. It's a redundant object to the image.

that is actually incorrect when there is further data on the right side.
align left, more stuff on right. Or you can align left & get another image - say of posters much like MPF has - and post that right side.
if there will only be one banner and no additional data, that should be centered, yes.

Chop does not know what he is talking about.  Moonlight is white, but due to the Purkinje effect, it appears bluish to the human eye. 

Also, like my four year old, he repeats requests over and over again apparently with the expectation that asking repeatedly will increase the chance that someone will fulfill a request or cause them to fulfill it faster.  While completely normal for a young child, it is a very bizarre behavior for an adult; as most of us have learned through experience that it is not a reliable way to achieve the desired affect.

I've yet to hit the number of requests I had to make in order for the jugheads on this board to agree to the "Genres" subforum. So, yes, while in everyday life certain requests shouldn't require multiple requests to get a goal accomplished, on this site they do. I'm actually using my knowledge from past experiences. You on the other other had, not only forget the past quite easily, but are also a Tard.

I think I might have struck a nerve. 

No Chop, I never commented on the moon itself.  I did not say anything about the headlights.  I said that the eye perceives moonlight as blue.  It is slightly more complicated than Saturday morning cartoons, but much less so than quantum mechanics.  I have no doubt that you understand perfectly what I said, though.  But to actually acknowledge the fact would require an approach that is far less juvenile than what we have seen from you thus far.

Having to always carry the intellectual weight really does get exhausting at times. Tards.

1.  Making a thread does not mean you own it.  The whole point of a forum is that everyone takes some kind of ownership.

2.  You insinuate that someone should thank you for starting a thread?  What the fuck is wrong with you?  If no one else cared to comment, then no one would have replied to your thread.  That is not the case, so what gave you the idea no one else cared?

3.  Oh, and centering it may or may not be possible based on the forum software.  Somehow, you seem to think that everyone should bend to your will immediately and without question, and you resort to tantrums when that does not happen.  Once again, this is perfectly acceptable behavior in a 4 year old (or a 40 year old with a mental handicap), but in the fully developed human brain its either a narcissism complex or simply pure douchebaggery (most likely some of each).
Title: Re: Love the new forum banner!
Post by: erik1925 on June 15, 2014, 03:20:49 AM
Chop..

I replied to your centering comment and suggestion yesterday. Ive been looking at the SMF layouts/source codes here and have been getting an internal server error of some kind when I've gone in to make simple changes. So I'm not sure whats happening at this point.

But in the mean time, please stop with the "make clickable and center the banner" demands, OK? Give it a rest.

I told you I would be looking into it and I am.

Chop's avatar is the original black and white logo/banner that was created by Thierry's wife back in 2009. When I first came across this original banner on APF's facebook page, that very image was the first tried here on the forum.

But some members said that the B/W image didnt work with the light blue background, and still others Pmd and said that the actual name of the forum should be on it.

Because of those comments/suggestions, the banner was altered (extended on the left), tinted and the name added.  ;)

The simple, original design is bold and the "best", but I'm sure there's a lot more altering that can still be done if anyone else wants to change anything on it.  Maybe some floating head images, CGI stuff, some special effects, etc.  faint2.gif

For the record, it's not a big deal to me.  As I said before, I like the original, unaltered version the best.

Thanks for thinking logically Neo!

Yes, the B&W version screams "vintage". We are collectors of vintage posters. The car in the banner is a vintage car. The most expensive movie posters are for B&W movies.

I do like the frame (the previous one with the white border that made it appear linen-backed). Even the text isn't bad. I would just replace the blue tint with the softer B&W version. Revert to the previous frame style, extend the right side of the banner to the right border and place the blog text inside the frame to even out the other text. Then make the entire banner a link that reverts to the home page.

Edit: The left text would look alright staying blue even with the image portion being B&W.

So Chop, what you're saying is - you have suggestions about how to alter the Forum banner?

Take the "APF" off the hillside on the logo since you already have the entire site name on the left side and and replace the letters with actual posters that are being lit up. Also as I've stated before the blue hue of the logo is terrible. Let the original B&W image contrast with the color of the posters on the hillside. And bring back the black frame border for the banner.

The forum banner with the snow is very nice  thumbsup.gif . It feels like Christmas to me however for USAians it reminds of the blizzard of a lifetime ( or thereabouts)

I was having a little fun, since it is winter time and snowy in much of the US, Canada and Europe.

But if it's too "Xmas-y" feeling, it can easly go back to the other... not a problem.  ;)

Please make it a click-able home button.

The banner is now click-able and doing so will take you back to the main, home page of the forum.

Now, can you add the linen-backed frame border to the perimeter like you had before and then center the banner across the width of the screen?

I keed, I keed.
