Well guys, here's something which I'd been wanting to do for a while, that I unfortunately hadn't been able to implement due to the state of my health and having to prepare and undergo the open-heart surgery that I went though -- a banner contest for our forums!
Not everyone likes what we have at the top of the screen -- (I know! I know! Some peoples are krazy!) -- so nows their chance to attempt to replace it with something they'd like better for the holidays! It's too late to design and vote on a Halloween theme for this year, and by the time people got their designs and voting in, a Thanksgiving theme would just about be outdated, so what folks will be designing and competing over is a CHRISTMAS THEME BANNER for the QB64 Phoenix Edition Forums!
Rules are simple:
1) Design a banner which represents the winter/Christmas spirit and QB64PE.
2) Share your banner in a new topic where everyone can find it and see and comment on your great work.
3) Work is editable, changeable until November 16, when all calls for official entries will be finalized.
4) Starting from November 17th until November 24th, all registered users will have a chance to log in and vote on what they think is the best banner for us.
5) On November 25th (the day after Thanksgiving), our banner will change to become the one created and chosen by our users!!
NOTE: The current banner is 1400x256 in size, and is formatted so that the background is transparent, with both a black and white highlight around the logos and letters. This is so that no matter which forum theme the end user decides to use, everything stays visible and pops out nicely. Replacement banners will be temporary and don't *have* to follow this spirit of obsessive inclusivity, but they should end up being the same size for ease of plugging in and replacing the old banner, without admin having to go in and twiddle with any settings elsewhere to make it fit and interact properly.
