It will take some time, but I can add a top row if you want. I don't think I would want to change the order of the images, though - they're in the order of our countdown! The current header I made shows our final list counting down from #14-1. I could reverse them, though, so they start at #1 in the top left corner - with the Thanos Saga, which can be represented by a more recognizably classic cover like the Death of Captain Marvel GN or Avengers Annual #7 - and count up to #28 in the bottom right. That would keep them in order but have us start with a more classic cover like you want. If that's okay with you, of course. You ARE the artist. I actually really like that idea too. When it's done, can we see it both with and without the text? |

Is it the suggestion thread? If so, is it possible (might not be!) to ad the PREV 1 2 3 NEXT to the bottom of the pages to? Sometimes I think it's the end of the thread and don't think about looking at the top of the page for that. Might just be me though... Taken care of  |

Well, does the new banner work? Too much?

The rotating banners seems fine. I might slow it down a little if possible, but it's okay as it is if that isn't possible.
Is there any way to size it so it doesn't tile the individual images? It's sort of cutting off the image and then starting it over. I'm not quite sure why, as the banner I made anyway should be wide enough to cover the whole thing. But it's only showing about 12 covers worth of width instead of the full 14, and then repeating the image in that space. It seems to be doing the same with the other two as well.

They're bigger than they were at CBR. Do we need bigger still? It's my impression it would look better if they all were of the same height. |

I see the cutting off that you're speaking of, but not the repeating. I can try to play with this more later. I don't have the time today, unfortunately. |

CBR was so restrictive on size that it's a nice change seeing different shapes and sizes. I think it better reflects our individuality. |

I would vote against the rotating banner. I find it rather distracting to the eyes. I like the variety it allows, but I like a webpage to remain still even more.
If it were really slowed down, like so it only moved every few minutes, I might mind less.

And if I actually want to look at the banner, like see what comics are there, it changes before I get far.

Should there be a SELLING/BUYING forum? I know it was not allowed on CBR, but I think it would be a good idea here! What better place to sell your doubles than on a Comics message board!
