[Suggestion] Banner and Affilliates
I hate to be a buzz kill but the simulated shine on the banner is less than attractive. And, as for the affilliates, you spelled "Hideout" wrong.

Reflection is gross. It's as if the banner was vomiting after looking at the mirror.

Help is on the way. I should be getting an improved version of it.

So does Hyper. Me, too. It's still an improvement on the previous banner. Somewhat. I didn't expect so much negative responses, but the publich hath spoken. So, I should get Kraken.

The reflection is just so... so... out of place.
Like, this isn't an Apple fansite. It's a Sonic one (wait, is it?). Reflection is like water and Sonic hates water or something. I dunno.
But just from an artistic standpoint, that reflection... makes zero sense. Like, is the banner on a platform above the actual forum? Like, after the reflection is empty space, then all of a sudden everything goes back to being flat?
You have only the banner look glossy. But all the nav buttons are still plain. Considering that they're adjacent to each other, that makes for a really strange contrast.
What I'm trying to say is that it's out of place. It looks to me like a banner that's just trying to show off some image effects, taking individual aesthetics over compatibility. With the reflection and shine, against the dark black/blue theme of the rest, there's no... synergy.

But it looks cool. It actually looks like the banner is standing up because of the reflection.Ringtails wrote:The reflection is just so... so... out of place.

Nav Bar Buttons are actually underway. :Neutralness:
In fact, if I'll get my lazy butt to working, I'll get the image files hosted and post them here.

I have no problem with the reflection on the bottom. It gives the place a very slick feel. It's that light reflection on the top. It looks incredibly fake.

I never had a problem with the reflection. The shine just; X_X"

Omnihush is right in that it doesn't make much sense, but it is kinda nice. However, the shine doesn't. Why would the light be shining on the Dark members?

Exactly. I also find it funny that metal sonic has shine on his head, then has shine on his shine and body.
I say, keep the reflection, get rid of that shine.

Yes. I was simply clarifying that I didn't have a problem with the lower reflection.Zezima wrote:I never had a problem with the reflection. The shine just; X_X"

The reflection is fine, but he shine needs to go, completely.

Re: [Suggestion] Banner and Affilliates
Assuming you really do want the shine, there are a few option you could try. For one, you could put the shine around just the logo, making The Sonic Community act as a beakon for all to come to it. Another is to have it be the light source, and thus shine on all sides. Yet another is have a shine come from the right and reflect on the heroes, and a shadow thus encompass the dark ones.
Or you could stick with the original.
