So obviously there is now a link to GTP's twitter page at the top of every page. In looking closer, as I apparently do, I noticed a white box around the image (despite it being a gif), which stands out on top of the gradient.

Should that be changed to a transparent gif, much like the Admin, SMod, etc. so any future changes made to GTP don't affect the image?

It looks a little rough on the darker background of your post (and terrible in the quote), but up on top the website the background is much lighter, so I think the edges would look better.
 
You're right - it does look terrible on a darker background, but up at the top of the page, it'll look like this:

Old on the left, new on the right.

Better?
 
Yeah, the transparent image fits excellent. Much more professional looking.

EDIT: Where did it go?

Yeah, I didn't realize it would be a problem for Premium users - when a banner ad is at the top of the page (the way that I see it), the Twitter graphic was far enough down the page that the gradient wasn't an issue. I've modified and repositioned it so it should look better for all users. It's temporary, anyways.

Thanks again for the heads up. 👍
 
Thanks for fixing it, Jordan. Looks much better now. 👍

And sorry about not starting a new thread... :guilty:
