Feedback for new header design

[jimnyc]

I have 2 technical errors I am working on.

1 - The animation wasn't loading properly, and technically still isn't. It's supposed to load the 6 images and then have the site name rise from the line. This wasn't happening at all. I changed the parameters and now it loads - but it loads every time you click a link (not a slowdown load though). I will have this fixed to load only once, but left it animated now so that members can see what it's really supposed to do.

2 - In Firefox and Chrome, all is ok. In Internet Explorer, the display appears to take more space than necessary at the top of the board leaving a ton of blank space. There is supposed to be minimal space from where the bottom of the header ends and the navigation bar for vBulletin starts. I will have this fixed as well.

*** Any ideas for changing any other colors within the board to match any aspect of the new header? ***

Sorry bout that,

1. I liked the old one, just sayin.
2. The new one doesn't fit in size or readablity, to much flash, simple works better to me.
3. The old one with a reflective pool of water beneath it, would be nicer, making it a some what oval shape all in all.
4. Could even be made inside a oval, like a white border, with shadow, to give it a 3D effect, now that would be classy.

I believe I fixed the issue with the appearance in IE. For me, the dimensions now load properly in every tested browser.

The only issue now is how often the animation loads. Currently it is set to continually load with every new page. I am either going to have him set it to load every so many hours, or randomly (like every 25 page loads or similar).

Apparently I wasn't supposed to load it yet as he had some debugging left to do, but I was anxious to get it live and move forward. There still might be some minor changes before it's complete. Also, don't forget, I can change images on the fly to reflect current news or moods!

Have either of you tried deleting internet cache? What browsers are you using? Possibly take a screenshot of what you see so I can diagnose?

[Mr. P]

Firefox..here.

Cleared Cache..no worky.

[Monkeybone]

do you have your screen set so that it is bigger for your old eyes Mr.P?

If the alignment is all the way to the left, that is odd. With different resolutions, the size might change, but the alignment should remain the same. I'm using Firefox as well and all is cool.

Can you try opening it in IE and tell me what you see? At least that will tell us if it's a browser issue or something else.

NO!

Tested in EI, Firefox, Chrome and safari.
Jim, I also recommend you change the style sheets to match banner colors.
