Gary Lewis Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 And now for another question. We have the ability to put a logo at the top of our pages, although at the moment it isn't working on the forum page, but appears to work on all other pages. I played around with it today and took a couple of screen shots to show the difference. To the left is what we've had for a long time - Gary's Garagemahal (the Bullnose bible). On the right is with the sticker/logo I posted about earlier. So, which do you prefer? Or, maybe the bull with the ring in his nose like is on the web browser's tabs?

Gary Lewis Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 Update: I discovered a mod I'd made in the header code on the home page, which is where the forum is embedded. The code is: So I know how to put a logo on the forum's page - assuming we want to do so. But I'm remembering that we made that change on purpose, so we need to think through it before we jump in.

Gary Lewis Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 I love it! Thanks for the response, Angelo. We need people to tell us what they prefer. This is all part of a "rebranding" effort. I don't like the "Gary's Garagemahal" bit as it isn't about me but is about "we". So as we prepare to move to different servers, which means the domain names need work, it is time to rethink everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 I really like the logo as well Ok folks, it is unanimous - two votes for the logo and no votes against. Seriously though, I turned the logo back on. Be aware that that may not be the final logo, but that's another topic for discussion. Also, I took the code out of the forum page's header and you can now see the logo there as well. IIRC we put that code in because it was taking up room at the top of the page. But with the way it is set the logo goes away as you scroll, so maybe that's no longer an issue? Anyway, input please! Do you like having the logo instead of Gary's Garagemahal (the Bullnose bible)"? And do you want it on the forum pages? Perhaps I should create a poll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like an image at the top from a branding standpoint, that seems like a good idea... but I'd think you'll need to review the mobile site before making any final decisions. What I *don't* like so much is the word wrapping in the text heading, e.g. Title Words (the Bullnose bible) jmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the word-wrap either, but haven't figured out how to fix it. However, the logo solves that problem. As for the mobile sites, here are some screenshots from my iPhone X with Safari. First is the forum in portrait mode w/o scrolling. Second is in landscape with a bit of slow scrolling, which allows the logo to stay. Third is with more or fast scrolling, and that causes the logo to disappear. To me that is acceptable, but I want to hear from others, and especially those who basically only use a mobile device. Is this a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
