Getting the images to be a small file size and keep the rotation up would be a challenge ... it would ned to be thought out well.

I do like what Big Pete did ... the background was kept clean and the image could be changed for different vehicles without too much editing by the looks of it ... might even between to rotate the vehicle image without having to adjust the banner too much.

I guess it comes down to image sizing though ... and trying not to lose image quality too much either.

FAF have already updated their banner to show the latest FG model.

I am a member of both forums. But I no longer make the mistake of using the same name.

good for them!

FAF's banner is not very original IMO, they just used the press images.

CFOUR · 15-07-2008, 02:13 AM

the banner does look a tad outdated.
not that im a turbo guy, but the should be some form of turbo in it.

**Falcon Coupe** · 15-07-2008, 05:55 PM

I'd like to see the latest model on the banner, that way it's updated every few years and would stop arguments over which model should be shown.

Not half obvious though, posting styles never change

Maybe with a prod though and color of red hey!

On that note can we have a pic of the last of the straight sixes on the banner morphing into a V6?

Falcon_Phill · 16-07-2008, 10:38 AM

That'd definitely kill file size. Unless it was in flash

**Falcon Coupe** · 17-07-2008, 08:27 PM

Why do you have a GT ute in there ? They were never made.

**Peuty** · 17-07-2008, 08:32 PM

Haha now I remember.

I didn't vote for it.

ThePistonHead · 26-07-2008, 09:59 PM

I don't suppose anybody else has had a go at a design?

ThePistonHead · 24-08-2008, 08:48 PM

Ahh this thread is back from the dead!

Are we actually going to get ourselves a new banner, mods?

Cheers

Maybe ... when the nice admins get a little bit of time out of their bus schedules to implement it ... other than that ... they are fairly busy with the upkeep of the forums on a day-to-day basis.

A banner is just cosmetic really ... and may be changed as time goes on when (and when time permits).

Although I can safely say ... nagging won't help your cause though.

I don't post here often since getting French Fever but I really enjoy reading the forums here still. Take the boy outta the ford but not the ford outta the boy, and I've been reading this thread with keen interest. The best BY FAR and the most professional and beneficial banner to Ford Forums is without doubt the Big Pete Idea.. The clean white background with a high res ramdomised position pic of the most classic fords (and the newer hero cars in STOCK FORM!!!), rotating with each refresh of the page.

Brilliant. I can't see why this won't do.. It looks fantastic, professional and tasteful. Sorry HLC. Not a fan of that, but a: As said the GT ute is not a stock ford, and neither is the Green Terry with the Darth Vader Kit on it (no offence at all LaMinge, I think it looks Brill but clearly not factory!!)

I haven't seen any banner ideas with a 95 Mondeo in it :(

Seriously though who really looks at the banner all day??? You open the page you are after and read the threads not the banner.

I used to run a forum that was about 1000th the size of these forums and had a hard enough time keeping on top of all the spammers and other crap going on without worrying about changing banners. I am sure that change will happen when it is due and time permits.

Now who do I send the Mondeo pics to??? lmao

ThePistonHead · 12-11-2008, 02:09 PM

Just found the banners from the competition held previously if anybody is interested.

If it will actually be considered, I can make one up one night after work. It's pretty much what I do all day, and it would be in flash. If people don't have flash, it would revert to a gif / jpg. The offers there!

Have a chat to Russellw and Plext, its always best to use the talent of those that are experts in their field.

Thanks

Personally i think with the huge range of cars that ford have produced and the amount of them that members have personally improved or put there little touches on, there should be a rotating banner of past and present cars from this site,on display..

Not a bad idea, the only issue is who and how. Also no matter what there will be some that cry "foul, why wasn't this car or that car selected".

The how is the easiest part whether its images / swf's, or just one swf that pulls in random images each time you visit. There's no reason you couldn't have every car, but then an extra 10kb each time the site loads might not be so appealing.

It could always be left to a vote or something on which get picked.

Most of the suggestions are about FG's, BF's, and other falcons. Being ford forums and not Falcon forums, I'd think that other cars would be worth throwing in as well if your using different banner rotations. Explorer, Territory's, Mondeo, Focus and, Fiesta. And if your looking at cars from other era's, then theres escorts, cortina's, lasers and probabbly a few others I have no idea about. Even some of the old school Fords.

I have to agree, this is a great idea.

If you guys havn't made a decision yet, I don't think you ever will!

I mean, Golly!

Who still drives BA GT's and TE50's???
