New Top Banner Question

[sei]

I did. After I click that there's the "Account Settings" and "Personal Information" tabs. I can't find the Theme settings in any of them.

Edit: I didn't meant to post this one just yet...
But it's all ideas of pictures that I would associate with Japan

[clay]

Go Katafei! Keep brainstorming.

BTW I can't see the names of the friends on the new page...How would we comment on it?

oops. You found an error. The names are the same color as the background. I'll try to fix that. EDIT: Fixed

Please let me know of other errors.

Sei, I think you're right. It must be only for admins. I'll work on this and let you know.

EDIT: That's fixed too. I didn't have the themes turned on for members. Now you can compare the two if you like.

[katafei]

Just knocking myself out here:

We love tattoo's don't we? 笑


and computers, something like this could actually be turned into an original logo, I think

[katafei]

The count-down to JLPT is showing the wrong date ^_^

I tried to shout, but default was not accepted and the image got all warbled.
That's what Sei had earlier tonight, isn't it?

well, I'm going to bed now....
Hope everything goes well tonight. Good luck!

頑張ってね。

Not that I needed to check, but I definitely like the new one more after comparing. B)

Yeah, that was last year's date I think. I'll look it up and change it now.

Do you mean because you left the 'Enter your URL' there it gave an error? I'll have to try that and see if I get a warbled image.

EDIT: I saw the warbling and fixed it. It should work alright now.

The second bonsai image is good. I think it'd be kewl to make a few of those with a different image, but with the overall same look, and then randomly load one of them with each visit. So maybe another of a torii, of sakura, and so forth.

Also, I think it'd be kewl to change the color scheme every 3-6 months or so, if there is an easy way to somewhat automate that.

but how about a Japanese style bridge? As in a bridge between two cultures.

I like this idea. Here is one of my favorite bridges.

Kintaikyou! I used to have that as my signature image. I visited it often when I was stationed at Iwakuni.

I've only been there once myself but it is a very nice place to visit. My wife tells me that a few decades ago, her grandfather used to do the Cormorant fishing there and was in a TV documentary where he demonstrated the technique.

I prefer the second bonsai tree banner, but I have to say that I am not a fan of the Japanese woman. She's been on the site for ages, and is used in rich's story, but I'm sorry to say I really don't like it >< I'm not a fan of that art apparently, but I don't know... This will be like a new website, I think it should have a completely new look to it. Very stylish and well....new. I like the blue bonsai, it gives it a new looks to it, but I think the site could use a few fine tunings, such as the drawings and things that made it look a bit amateurish, (for example the godzilla on the bottom of the beta page lol). Aside from that, I like the new look so far, and I'll still be using the site for a looong time I hope everything goes well.

I like the left side of the second bonsai banner. The right side has too much dead space. I'm not sure I agree with the no-growth concept of bonsai. Bonsai is actually all about growth, but restrained, like in a learning environment, where teachers keep the students from getting unruly. After all, bonsai are eventually moved to bigger and bigger pots as they age. It's just that most people get the cheap trees at the market and erroneously believe the tree is supposed to stay in that little pot forever.

Bonsai was one of the things that got me into Japan so I think having it up there would be cool.

Another cool background would be one of those ink paintings of some nature scene.

Is this still open for discussion?

It seems like it's been a dead topic for almost a month now and I feel like I may have stepped on toes by opening it back up again in the design group.

I guess I should have done more digging first.

[Axlen]

The topic is still wide open. The two server moves and login issues kinda pushed this to the bottom of the to-do list. The more ideas and input the better.
