Yes, I finally got around to updating the welcome banner No more comic characters to put off non-comic readers from joining, which I consider a huge plus All thoughts, comments & criticisms are welcome

looks the same as before, as far as my eyes can tell but then maybe it's the browser cache that's holding the old one.
@ EK -> dang! u beat me to it. that's my 'secret project' which i am still working on.
nice one now that i have forced the browser to refresh. the many arrows must have some kind of meaning, EK. what's the story?
may i know what's the dimension for the banner in pixels?

Just for reference, I tested the new banner on a number of browsers (mainly IE, Netscape, and Firefox) and it held up fine, so it should show. I guess the old banner was cached for some. The size of the banner is 500 X 100, since you asked.

What Steve said That's my normal standard banner size, because it's big enough to be noticed without being intrusive, and won't take long to load on slower connections The arrow is the eight pointed symbol of Chaos, so seemed pretty appropriate for a place called 'The Chaos Cascade' The symbol itself roughly means that all things are possible, as opposed to the single arrow of Order, which (Quite naturally) sees everything as a pattern with no real choices.

Oops - nearly forgot! Janggut, I'm still likely to need a good Yana banner for my story forum, assuming Steve & I ever figure out how to attach individual forum banners Please don't stop drawing now...

The only problem is that it isn't saved at 3000dps, or have spangally spinny bits. Apart from that it looks good

Tsel... Moorcock started a whole generation of gamers & philosophers off with his Order & Chaos stuff, I think. One of the most influential Fantasy writers ever in that regard And yeah - great novels *** Everyone... Thanks for your thoughts. Glad no-one hates it

Hey, speaking of logo’s I’ve got a chaos logo you can use. It’s sort of like strip poker except everyone is playing the game of twister instead.
Tsel ;D
