Post by **[SoE]_Zaitsev** » February 6th, 2005, 7:12 pm

The background of the website on the forums is all blocky. Am I the only one or are there more ??? I think it happend when Peds made the update. It doesn't look nice, I tell you that

It was me

It was intentional to reduce bandwidth usage. The file was about 300KB in size, so used up quite a lot of bandwidth. It is now 69KB, but obviously quality had to be reduced. That's the problem as it is a 1600x1200 image, so it is all one big image that has to be loaded. Shall I find a different image for the background that can be repeated over and over again like a tile? Or keep it as it is?

Tbh, I'd just keep a sky-blue background to match the forum, saves your bandwidth and the uglyness...

i agree on that one why a image that you cant see most of the time only a few millisecond while forum page is loading i would keep it one colour only no image at all

Fine, I'll make a background more visually pleasing for the simpletons amongst us

It looks more better and far more original, and fits with the colour scheme of the Forum board, good job Peds
