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... :roll:

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

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