WHY? All it does is increase the page length so you have to scroll down further. Click on it and it leads to .... The Masonic Forum of Light. I don't like to be a kiljoy, but WHY? What is the point?

Don't be like that. If you are going to have a pretty picture, why stick it in the top left hand corner of the page and then link it to yourself. How about a thread for pretty pictures snigger ... I'm in one of those moods !

We're quite restricted as to what we can do on the page 'cos we can't get to the source code, it will only let us put in certain stuff in certain places. I'd prefer to have the pics at the top centered too, and am going to keep tinkering in the background. My main concern is that they don't cause performance issues for people still on dial up, if they do then we'll think again.

I really LIKE it! Especially that the S&Q has the G in the middle, a very important point for me as in my reckoning it means GOD.. Aesthetically, it would be nicer of it was centred at the top of the page but that is a minor point of detail. Good work Penfold!

me too like it. May I suggest to reduce it a little bit? (But in any case, it's a minor point)

Basic banner code should be something like this
<a href="http://staffs.proboards37.com/index.cgi"><span style='text-decoration:none; text-underline:none'><img border=0 width=350 height=100 id="_x0000_i1025" src="http://www.lodgeroomuk.com/images/mfollogo.jpg">
you can adjust the size by changing 350 and 100.

To centre the picture, you could create a rectangle of the same height as the picture and of the same background colour as the web page, merge it to the left of the existing picture and upload the resulting picture. The only difficulty is to find the right width. Edit: I've done it, try this picture, it should look OK in 1024 x 768 screen resolution. GC

Thanks guys! I've used Gilles' image as the perspective was better, and it is now centered.

Another comment in the details-department: I think the pillars-images should be reduced to the height of the central image. Also, the main image has a black line on the left that could be cropped away. To my taste it should all be a bit smaller, maybe about the size of the LRUK-banner at the bottom of the page, or slightly larger.
Edit: nicely centred (Mac, Firefox).

Nor on mine but let's not be pedantic. It is a very attractive headpiece and I appreciate it for its content . I'm sure Penfold can fine tune it in due time.

This will centre the graphic I put up earlier. Just substitute the location of the header graphic. But it looks like you have done it.

Thanks for the html Bill, I dropped it in the right place and I think it looks really good now.

You just have to alter the scr= section to change the graphics at a later stage. I seem to remember someone asking for a logo for the forum. You can leave it as is . If you want me to add a different graphic. send it to me and I will put it on the LRUK server. Whatever you think is good.
I am merely your 'umble' servant Mr. Macawber.
