Of the two, the latter. It's in focus and hasn't got a lifestyle statement. That's good enough for me.
I sense there's a but ?
Don't forget, i'm an IT nerd, not a designer/artist
No but, what's there is there. After I've got used to something I barely notice it, unless it's important to me.
Yeah i get that... But i'd like it to have some identity as a forum. I know to you guys this is just a forum, somewhere to post, somewhere to add random words that may or may not be important.... But to me this is something i'm trying to build, to mould and to feel i'm doing something and accomplishing something i guess.
I'm also trying to avoid 'It's not as good as the old place' etc. I'm not a designer, and not even an IT type. As for any imagination, forget it.
As an example, I was chatting to a friend recently while at their house and realised I had no idea of the type, design or colour of the window coverings etc in most of the rooms of my house.

I like the dark blue what may be more relevant when you discover this forum software does have skins option somewhere. One if the Kawasaki forums used it. The skins were more just colour changes than anything drastic but the banner stays the same
There are countless 'styles' and skins you can buy, steal, use yes, anything and everything, changes the layout, the icons, or just the colours really.

If you recall, the old place didn't start with it's banner we see now... it started with a completely different layout in just about every way. Maybe WB was better as designing stuff than me, it's never been my thing.

IIRC it was a software update which removed the 'no banner' option.

Can I add a word of caution: does it use a (C) image (bike & road)? Don't want you getting any grief.
No, copyright free. Though attribution is voluntary/requested and obviously nice to give, so if there's somewhere generic like a Ts &Cs page or About or something then maybe just sticking the link in there would be appropriate if we decide to keep it for any time?

Oh, cheers
A more modern option as well maybe... bit BMW though
I like both of them tbh.
While you're looking at it, try to think of something in the logo that will also give a nice favicon? (ie something that can shrink to a square image, preferably on a transparent background, that is nicely recognisable).

Don't worry, I am Will just wait until everything is decided.
