You're Top Poster: #3   | Just a suggestion of what could go in. Don't take this even as a skel as I just chucked some things together. Forum header 1.11.07.jpg

You're Top Poster: #1  | Headers are tricky - always difficult as to what should be included because someone will always complain to its skewed to one thing or country(s) or something. My favourite header (which Andy will understand why) is for my favourite magazine but it's easy for them - they're only concentrating on one thing:  http://www.britain-at-war-magazine.com/

You're Top Poster: #2 | If you're going to use black ,perhaps incorporate in a D-day stripes design of sorts somewhere on the site. Otherwise, not too keen on black. Some iconic photos or even then and now shots along the header would be different. I do agree with getting as far away from the dark side as possible though. A personal touch? A tank crew lounging on their tank, or a bomber crew photogrpahed in front of their a/c in full gear, or a gun crew on a ship at rest... What about a pic of a Tobruk cricket game?

You're Top Poster: #6  | A lot of sites tend to go slightly darker because most images are black and white, howeer over at ww2gallery.net there is a big colour section we could take images from to brighten things up on the header which will then lend itself to brighter colours on the forum.

I also like the autumnal theme; could it change with the seasons? If you use battle scenes or equipment, is it possible to identify them with the cursor for us newbies. CTNana | |

You're Top Poster: #4 | The cursor idea is a good one. I do like the idea of the grey though with flashes of colour, that one you showed us some time back Lee looked good. The flashes of colour could be changed for each forum area? So the blues for Commonwealth/ Allied black and red for German etc.
