Suggestions for a Header ?

Well I finally got most of my new design ready except I can't think of any to make as a header.

I used graphics from here that I found in the database as you can see in the footer on the forum page I thanked vbtemplates and some others.

Any suggestions would be great.

remember it is not total finished yet

#1 - I would use one button set and not 3 different ones . Having all 3 makes things look quite odd on your pages, just something minor though.

#2 - Ditch the black and go with another color of blue or maybe grey. Black/Blue is not a bad color scheme, but it does not seem to be working, at least not in its current form.

#3 - When making a header, unless you expand it all the way, making it the same color as the background would be best when possible.

THe above is not to put you down, merely to help you out

lol

I know the header is messed up now with different buttons an old logo etc...

I was just asking for some suggestions on what I should put there

Thanks for taking look

Make a border then expand the banner in the header all across to the sides of the border.

That always looks good. I was going to suggest one button set also but SaintDog covered it and you said it was a mistake so no need to bring it up.

cool the problem I am having is it expands across the page I kinda like the way this site is centered but if I did that then the portal stuff would look kinda compressed.

As far as extending the border how do I do that I am a copy paste king and after I get the initial coding i can usally change it pretty good by trial and error

So your having a problem getting the banner to reach side to side of the border? Just add 10 px to both sizes of the banner. So lets say your forum is set up at 750px like mine your banner would have to be 770px and then it would touch side to side.

Cool

Just trying to get ideas right now. I haven't even started on th graphics for it yet

I am actually holding a contest for my members to make the best one...hehe even know it is only 44 right now

That's what I did I'm pretty good at graphics but I figure what the hell and let a much better person do it. The turn out was/is great.

ok I try to add an extending header but i can't get it to extend down to the forum or portal any ideas ?

I like the big headers with navagation underneath. Those are the best ones I think.
