Rocky Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Well spotted and thanks for mentioning it, it went live a few moments ago. The genius behind it is none other than Apex! He also did a new one for http://www.agr-s.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnTC02 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Ha, just read this post and was a little confused as the old banner was still showing, even posted to say it hadn't changed but after a refresh there it was. Sweet!! great work Apex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squad_e Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 i think we need some competitions again.. i miss the sig awards, this new banner has given lots of inspiriation, big up for apex!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeealex Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I would like some sort of graphics based competition on here, I'm getting sick of all this Ghost Recon texturing and I need a bloody break! XD plus I seem to be a little less than active around here, a small part of the blame being there isn't much for me to do or talk about. I thought a couple of competitions would spark up some conversation between members. right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squad_e Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Start nagging some admins and get it organised! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mexicobob Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) I did not see the new banner at first. Then switched back to the Deviant theme then saw it! Glad to have this theme back. ​ Edited February 24, 2013 by mexicobob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRP 56 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Nice. Especially the agr-s one since I thought the old one sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Teppe, your posts are starting to me off. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeealex Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 agreed Rocky. Teppe, that was really stupid and harsh. I'd like to see you do better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oelmuvun Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) a) The whole point of this site is Ghost Recon as a whole, not just the first one.(and the 10th anniv is over) Future Soldier-like it or not-is the latest installment and must be included.b) The banner needs to be low quality so that people with lame connections or bandwidth restrictions do not get ######. Also, some other people have decade old computers or mobile devices and want to browse without the page taking five years to render.c) ...IDK, go start your own site? Make your own banner and use something like greasemonkey to replace the image if you cannot handle GR:FS?*shrug* it is a banner, as long as it is neutral or compliments the site it is fine. I do not spend all my time looking at it.It is not going to hurt anything the way it is.Rocky, you should compile a list of all the banners used in the past and put them up somewhere with the time period they were used for.*Editactually I have been inspecting it mroe closely and I think someone did a really good job hitting a good image quality VS file size ratio. There are not many places where you reasonably see blocks from the compression.And the other issue is the quality of the viewer's display. On my desktop I have a dell ultrasharp U2711 and the banner looks really good.However on my notebook with it's crappy display where you have to mutilate the calibration to make it not look like total poo, everything is blown out so you see harsh gradients between the skull and the side images. Among other things.But that is not in any way the fault of the image, that is a terribad display needed a really nasty colour profile because the panel is just too miserable and inept to handle proper colour.Teppe, it is time for you to save those pennies and get a real quality monitor.

Apex sent me a png, but I did the webmaster job of compressing it to a jpg with the best quality v file size ratio, I thought I got it about right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
