Owner Real Deal Posted November 14, 2010 Author Owner Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 And the Bulls forum is finished. http://www.otrbasketball.com/forums/forum/15-chicago-bulls-team-forum Boozer probably gets the nod for the banner once he comes back.

Oliver P Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) ^Very nice I like it. Just one thing though, I think that it would look even better if there were the team logos on the sides, in the background. But it ain't a big deal, great job nonetheless.

Just one thing though, I think that it would look even better if there were the team logos on the sides, in the background. But it ain't a big deal, great job nonetheless.I've actually tried something similar to that before, but it really slows down the scrolling speed and loading times because of the images used. If you think about it, 20 posts per page asks for a max of 20 avatars and signatures, plus post images in each corner, plus the banner and the post button images. Then you have the 30 team logos at the very top, and the repeating images for the title bar. Even more than that (like the group icons, team reps). I had to shrink the banners down to 70-80KB to help decrease loading times for those on lackluster connections OR just browsing with their phone or the PS3/360. Lots of things I have to consider, which is why skinning really sucks. Glad you like it, though...and glad to see you sticking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I see, I didn't know that it could slow down the scolling speed and loading times that much... I'm kinda new in the internet business (only got a computer for two years) and I just learned how to make a website this week in fact lol. Well forget about what I said then, it's perfect as it is. And yeah I'm definitely sticking around, honestly the best group of posters I've seen since the RST days. Very mature and knowledgeable, I really love it, keep up the good work.
