1) How is it that all the ads on this forum are for the forum software itself? That doesn't make any sense to me.
2) Should I put a picture on the forum banner? When I originally set it up, I couldn't work out how to do it, so I left it. But the Other Place uses the same forum software, so I might ask its administrator how it's done. If so, what picture would I use?

A portrait of the president of Ireland and his good lady wife preferably in the company of his grace the archbishop of Dublin.馃槈

Why not a rainbow flag?

Maolsheachlann, I was wondering if I might suggest a 'Rants and Raves' thread. A place where we can blow off steam about our pet hates, without obscenity or gratuitous insults of course. It could be therapeutic....and fun.

I dont want to offend the person that made the cover, but would it be possible to change it? I could make on Photoshop.

What do you want to change it to? I made it and I must admit I'm quite attached to it! I'm not wedded to it, though.

I don't know, I was just using trial and error. The first image I used was way too big. Also, the image on the left has to incorporate the forum title, because it covers up the original title. The spiral background is not part of the image and has to be changed independently. So the logo is just in the space where the banknote is. There are Proboards Help forums, though they're too detailed and techy for me.
To be more specific: the banner has two elements, the logo and the background. The background is just a repeating tiled image of some sort.
Remember that the image has to be fairly generic. The coronation of Charlemagne is not going to be representative of conservatives in general! I hate to use the word inclusive, but I'm going to do it anyway. It should be something fairly inclusive. The last thing I want is anyone to feel "othered". That would be awful.

I can't really design it, if I do not know the dimension of the Logo and background as it could take ages. Like, Mary, Destroyer of All Heresies Attachments:

Oh, I like the the old pound note: it was a beautiful currency series.

Me too.
I filled out a questionnaire about the prospect of a cashless society, for a friend of a friend, who is doing some academic research on the concept. My attitude to the idea was entirely negative. No more coins! No more banknotes! A whole dimension of human life disappeared? Say it ain't so.

The note isn't bad, but the Newgrange tiles make the page look really outdated and unprofessional. Maybe just a single background image.
