    There's an update out for the forums which I will be installing tonight. This means there might be an hour or so of downtime.

    Included in the update are a few bug fixes and a few tools for mods and admins to make running the forums easier. Apparently there are also upgrades to the reputation system and the status updates. Not 100% sure what they are but we'll see.

    I have a feeling that all comments that currently exist on status updates will be lost because the ability to comment on status updates was added through a forum modification. This update provides that feature from the basic forum so they'll probably work in a slightly different way.

    Anyway just thought I'd keep everyone updated. Let me know if there's any problems.

    That looks awesome to me. Only thing is the trees in the middle make it look like there's two images next to each other. Doesn't look like it blends well, plus with the placement of the text it just makes it look like 2 seperate images. Perhaps need to reposition the text, but I really like it. Did you save it as a PSD? And also is it possible to extend the bottom of the banner by another 50 pixels or so to incorporate the navigation links? Or did you crop everything to size?

    Only thing that really needs fixing is the trees in the middle really. If you can get rid of them and stick something else there with the orange -> blue gradient then I think we're onto a winner.

    Good work.

    Not a big fan of the bevels and the perfectly rounded shape. Looks too smooth and plain. In a way I also agree with Demon that the blue looks a bit offputting, but at the same time it needs to be blue to match the site. Obviously having something 'sticking out' of it in full colour, like the San Andreas banner would be ideal but we don't have much we can use for that. Not a big fan of the font either.

    Along the right lines though. The general feeling is that GTA 5 is gonna be set in LA/San Andreas again, so maybe use some screenshots from SA (landscape) or some real photos of LA which have been modified to look like a game.

    We're gonna have to change it eventually anyway but for now we just need something that goes with the template better than the current one.

    I think if there was a character we could use on the left side of the banner, who's width is just the same size as the left navigation bar (so he's kind of standing on it, or popping out the top of it) a bit like the http://www.gta4.tv banner then that would look pretty cool.

    Haha looks decent. Could do with a bit more work. The images don't really appear to blend together very well. Also I prefer going for different fonts on the banner (for the links anyway). And pricedown is decent but it looks a bit plain. Good start though and that's something similar to what I'm looking for.

    I knocked this up in 15 mins or so using the fake screens "we" made on the site. Not too happy with it, but it's an idea;

    I've changed the gradient on the left nav from red to blue (gta-sanandreas.com nostalgia anyone?).

    I NEED a good banner. Ideally with some blended screenshots and a blue tint over the top. Here's the San Andreas one for some inspiration. The banner doesn't have to be perfectly square, it can be shaped to something.
