I was going to ask why there was such a hate for banners and now I know...lol. At least it's a good reason. And I understand that completely, I used to have dial up and it took forever!! So I'm glad that answered.

Again if I feel the need to use one, I'll keep it in the right size. I swear!

Thanks for the wamr welcome too. I appreciate it!! :)

plus, a lot of people make ugly banners. I don't hate them, but I hate ugly ones.  Mostly I'm indifferent to banners. But you'll find that there are a lot of people around here who love them too. They just aren't in charge.  ;)

I agree on that too. I don't like ugly banners either...lol. It kinds of peeves me when I see one actually. I guess because I know how to make them and make them look good, IMO and some others opinion, it bugs me that there are some ugly ones...lol. But hey practice makes perfect, just do it on your own time. I didn't and will never post the stuff i first made when I was learning...lol . It's horrid looking.

Pink and yellow also show up nice. All the other colors are pretty hard to read on here.

Although the pink looks really pretty, I think I'll pass on that and the yellowness for now.

Quick Q does everyone on here write for the site?

Oh okay...on the other fourm and fanfiction site I go to, although it's all one website just with different sections, only a few authors are on both. It's almost two different worlds but here it doesn't seem that way. It seems like a whole thing here.

I think that's better though. On the other fanfiction site the girls who are also on the forum sort of run the fanfiction site. It's like we have a clique there and it seems odd...lol. Great and joyous but seperate.

This is a great forum for writers!  Like Mare said, most of us do write and post stories on the site, so the two go together well, and we "talk shop" here a lot.  It's the best forum I've been on where you can actually discuss fanfics, both from the reader and the writer end.

Yeah, that's what I liked about the fourm I mod. Though it only has a secion on the forum for writers/readers to chat. This is dedicated here...lol. I like that.

Yeah... I know not everyone has good graphics programs or knows how to use them, but if you can't make something decent-looking, why put up a banner at all?  Are they THAT necessary?

I enjoy making graphics, but I never really posted banners for my stories until I had Paint Shop Pro.  Before then, I remember wishing I could make cool graphics like I saw for other stories, but all I had to work with was Paint and Printshop Deluxe, which was a card-making program LOL.
