This is a really really small insignificant thing, but if you wanted to, you could match the background color of the logo at the top with that blueish color around it. It'll give it a cleaner look. I could even do it for you if you wanted. In fact, here you go:



I'm doing nothing right now anyways, and this was a pretty easy thing to do, lol. Have fun.

The banner at the top of the page will be updated in a few weeks when we get a good group shot.  I've asked another member to take the pictures and do the PS stuff.

And the group shot will come from the dyno meet! Woot!

[clapton924]

Yes, we need a new banner.

And can we have a product review section?

[timot_one]

Working on the banner, but I have something made up right now.  I'll work on adding a product review section in each forum.

We could use the group shot we took at last years mega meet....

Milan's picture was beautiful...  However, I know that is not going to be the one used...

[timot_one]

To be honest, I would rather use a picture from an ECM meet with ECM members.  I threw this together from the meet we had.  It obviously needs work, but it's a bit better than what we have right now.  Now I have to try and remember how to change it.

[CrackerTeg]

I like it. Would've been cool if I had made it to the meet to be in that photo.

[timot_one]

Shit, not even my car is all the way in the photo.

easiest way to change it: go through to these folders on your ftp      /forums/styles/subsilver2/imageset/site_logo.gif

and replace site_logo.gif with your image and name it the same thing (meaning it also needs to be a gif and named site_logo)

[timot_one]

Yeah, I would love to do that.  Too bad it's been forever since I've made any changes and forgot how to change it on the server.  I haven't gotten much help with it, so I guess it will remain the way it is right now until I can figure it out or get more help.

let me know if you need any help via email (my elitecm username @gmail) or pm

usually you can type this in your browser: ftp://elitecm.net , it will then ask for you username and pw, which you can find if you log in to your 1and1 account and go to FTP Accounts

You can then navigate the folders and find the file as I described in my previous post

another way is to download a free program FileZilla (which can do the same as doing the "ftp://..." method but it will save your username and pw and makes it easier to add/delete files)

I figured it out.  I was on my MacBook and was using Safari for the browser.  I remember setting this up on my PowerBook with Firefox and used the control panel.  Since Safari isn't a supported browser, it didn't show where I could access the ftp folders.  I just tried at my work comp and got access.  I'll just try to use XP on my MacBook from now on when I want to change anything on the site.  Definitely a huge "duh" moment.  In my defense, it was over a year ago that I did this.

If you ever need any extreme computer help, you can always send me a PM if you want. I plan on majoring in computer engineering
