Up at the top of the page (assuming you're using the default forum theme and not the wooden theme) I updated the banner image yesterday. This has more photos in it, but feels less noisy to me since the previous one had a lot of sharp shadows and I blurred the edges a lot. This seems more clean to me.

Opinions?

This is the first I've ever noticed it...color me sharp-eyed, eh?  I like it.

I didn't even notice and went to settings just to check mine to see what theme I'm using. I don't recall what the old one looked like, but this one looks great.

I use the default settings, but hadn't noticed the change until you pointed it out.  :-[

The new banner looks very nice!
