Dear staffies...
Is there any way that you could increase the banner limit for the banner contest (EE GAD Feb)??
Perhaps increase it to around 25/30 kb instead of 15!
I have spent a long time making banners but cannot make a decent one under 25k!
I obviously can use jpegs in animation shop but it makes the image a much lower quality and I don't think SR wants pixelly banners that look worse than the first quake game!
If anyone else feels that the limit should be exceeded please says here and Snuggly may give in.
Cheers - Ky.

Thanks mate,
they're all under 15kb now.
Just want to reiterate to kyz that if the banners are over 15k then visiting SR would be slow and painful!
Kyz. What programs are you using to make your banners/graphics?
Maybe I can help....

Just thought I'd post something that I said yesterday....
-- Either make your banners with
(1) Simple large areas of flat colour
--OR
(2) very, very detailed...(See Silent Hill Banner -www.consumer58.netfirms.com)
This is because GIF compression can't deal with mixtures of flat colour & high detail....it doesn't know what to concentrate on so it messes things up!
