I will try to make some and get them in. I need a place to host them though, will ugn's board let try to use a txt as an image? I have heard I can rename the image .txt on a lycos server and it will work. It gave me crap about it not being a valid image type on other boards though. I will edit this post with the images when I make them. | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 7,203 Likes: 11 Community Owner | Community Owner Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 7,203 Likes: 11 | I'll throw them in the /contest/ directory, just email them to me and i'll throw them up. | | | | Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 129 Member | Member Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 129 | Well i didn't make anything special but nice colors though=)

Gizmo i'll correct my button and when i finish the other work i'll publish them all together in one post ok.
BackSlash your banner is good, but i think that if you outline the letters with BLUE color it'll look much better.. i think you should try that !!
just a suggestion bro !! no offense !!
thanks
