dont think u can see much until you register but hope this helps

ok, it already seems pretty good you know, but i'll try and make a banner according to your needs. also.. what about the avatar, any specific needs for that?
your forum seems kinda empty..

thanks for the avatar i just want maybe the letters G and E intertwined someway or something along the lines of that the forum is kinda empty cause we decided to restart the whole thing my friend started up the last one and messed it up a bit we had only a few members so we decided best to start from scratch and do it properly!!

haha, well, i'll get it done by the end of the week, sorry if it takes long, but you know with school and stuff

there no worries im just happy your helping out at all

hey is something like this ok

yeah thats really cool! u made that fairly quick aswell consider me inpressed

so something like this is ok, right?

yeah id be more than happy with something like that!
but as for size can u increase the width my 13px either side, and the height to in around 150px i think that would make a good enough fit. sorry to sound picky, i measured the width but the height was a bit harder to do so i took a guestimate. theres no bother if u cant change sizes either

uhh well i made it slightly bigger to about like 154x180, so thats ok right

yeah i say it should be ok

ok here it is, the colour is kinda darker, sorry..if you want it brighter, just tell me

thats perfect size man but can i go with the lighter version alright ! the darker one does look a bit better but the lighter would blend in more !

can u make the avatar something similar? maybe using G and E in someway ?

sure, any specific dimensions?, Also, if you know how to make the banner in the center, or do you like it as it is?

i have the banner in the center so theres no prob there just a bit lighter would be perfect as for the avatar i dont mind what ever is the general size for one

hey man any advancement with that ?

sorry, i'm kinda sick and busy right now, so be patient

no worries
