Ideas to improve AO

Chrome is rendering like the picture above as well. (i.e. missing the banner) Chrome Version 26.0.1410.28

Chrome's running fine here.

If the Adblock is turned off for the site, and the banners are placed correctly, the Automags.org/Online logo is pushed all the way up into the gray header and you never see the jagged edges.

By the way, the jagged edges are a product of the text using a drop shadow and a transparent background. Older "photoshop"-like programs didn't know how to handle opacity very well, and would fill in the transparency gradient of a shadow effect with a background color. In this case, that background color at least was a spot-on match for the color of the header. And that's why it will never be noticed if the header is placed properly by the browser. (i.e., simply whitelist the automags.org domain)

Yep, it was the Adblock. Forgot it as it rarely makes any trouble.

Did I miss a data call for pictures for the photobanner?

Yup.

Stick around for a couple months - we'll do another round.

I've been here since '06 so I guess a few more months won't kill me

Now that the design is out of the way and I have access to upload new headers.... I don't think there will be any problems adding AOers to the banner in the near future. The only real problem is to get people to take high quality pictures. At least get the camera guy to take a picture a little closer.... I think people want to see what kind of automag you are shooting!! lol

That's true. When I realized that the photos we posted were going in the banner I started looking for a better one. Still can't find it, but when I do I'll send over a newly revised banner to upload/replace mine next time around. There are a few pics that show off those beautiful 'Mags, instead of just those ugly mugs. Those are the better ones.

THANK YOU BUNNY for all your hard work! Dayspring as well, and anyone else who has been contributing!

Used to be when you did a search you could pick which forums you wanted to search in, but that option doesnt seem avaiable now. Is there anyway to turn that back on? I.E. I want to search for "ULE" in the BST Misc parts thread. Or am I doinitrong?

Click Advanced Search on the top right. Click "Search Single Content Type" It is under Additional Options.

Hmm. Swear it wasnt there before....

I'll take a closer look at this later today. I think we should have it defaulted back to the single search. I think it has something to do with the templates in vbulletin.
