This rectangular one might fit the long, sleek look of the new CL logo better...

If you can, enigma888, please do it in the GIF or PNG format. JPG is based on a lossful compression and is good only for photos. Thanks for the efforts BTW.

Thx for the advice. No wonder wikipedia wants icons as .png! Redone.

BTW: I thought of one more possibility, that being black-on-white, which might make the CL look more prominent.

I'm sorry to say that ever since this sites upgrade everything seems to load pretty slowly. It's most likely because of all the graphics, or whatever. I'm using an extremely fast broadband line, and this now has become the most frustrating, slow, site to navigate. I absolutely loved the speed of this site before the upgrade.......so why'd you do it since it surely is not better?

We're aware of the speed issue and are working on additional tuning and hardware to address it.

Why? Because the newer version is more secure, addresses many of the bugs of the last version and will be faster once the tuning and hardware components are in place.

Hang tight. It is *especially* slow today and yesterday I've noticed

I have to admit, that since the upgrade, there has been none of the complete come to a halt that CL used to experience after say 7PM. Might just be that everyone is on vaca ,but for some reason, things seem faster to me of late.

I was changing avatars, and I found that vbulletin does not allow animated avatars. Is this something new after the upgrade? Other CL members have animated avatars.

I don't know whether the "powers that be" are still working to correct the slowness of this upgraded website, but it has become painfully slow bringing up web pages. As I have said previously, I have a super fast broadband connection that works extremely fast on most any of the other websites that I peruse. This is the way CL worked before. It now works slower then the dial-up connection that I used years ago! I'm totally frustrated when I come here, but I'll hang in there.
BTW: This slowness has been replicated on 3 other computers in 3 other areas, so I know it's not an isolated incident.

Hmm ,funny .
I have no speed issues and i only use DSL.
I also have the ads removed as well as a few other spots blocked which may be helping my load times. Now if i can only get the blue strip to finally disappear and get a full screen again i will be so happy.
BTW nice upgraded layout , i love it except for the side banner which should shortly go away for me.
Nice work

Fix 2.0 for Firefox users:

1. Create a file named "userContent.css" under the directory "C:\Documents and Settings\<your Windows XP username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<some strange word>.default\chrome" with the following content:
Code:
@-moz-document domain(clublexus.com), domain(www.clublexus.com) {
div[id="header"], div[id="horizmenu"], div[class="search"], div[id="bluebar"], div[id="qdspicture"] {
  display: none !important;
}
div[id="qdsheader"] {
  height: 0px !important;
}
div[id="qdsmenu"] {
  top:0px !important;
  left:0px !important;
}
div[id="qds"] {
  top:35px !important;
}
td[id="rightcol"] {
  width: 0px !important;
}
}
2. Install Adblock Plus.
3. Restart Firefox.
4. Go to Tools > Adblock Plus .
5. Click "Add filter...".
6. Fill in "http://206.123.109.18/*".
7. Click OK.
8. Go to ClubLexus
9. Thank me.

You're welcome man. Just remember not to quote the entire message next time. And by quoting the fix 2.0 I assume that you're missing out the leaner fix 2.1. It's even faster.

hey xero, any way 2.0 or 2.1 can be modified to ONLY exclude the side flash and the banner/flash above the menu bar?

Default Excessively Have to Relog In!

I hate having to relog in and then not being returned to where I left off prior to having to log in again. Like posting a reply. Then having to relog in. Then not being returned to the thread you wanted to reply to.
