Yeah, I thought so... but I would warn people that some people don't like it, so it *MAY* cost votes... seem fair enough?

There's always going to be some sort of Photoshopping happening. Resizing / cropping a pic can be considered Photoshopping. Most photos never come out with the proper lighting anyways (esp if you use point-n-shoots). PS allows you to display the pic the way your eyes saw it. If you view a picture as art, you should be able to present it according to they way you want to.

Having it cost votes isn't fair either.

I have another idea:

Is there a way to hide the poll results during the voting process? That way the results won't sway members to vote based on the poll.

WTF, I must click my mouse an extra time to get to the best Z4-forum on this planet. I just hope it counts as another post.

Very small price to pay, looks great, Kudo's Jim. :thumbsup:

OH, BTW if you are going to play the admin card and put your car on the front page, :roll: I suggest you let us see it without all that censorship across it. :rofl:

I love the home page, hate the idea of photoshopping aside from the real basics of cropping/resizing. I suck at photoshop and have enough trouble with my camera as it is.

:D

Hopefully we can evolve the home page as we go along... The main reason for introducing it is really to get us well up there in the google rankings... I still have some work to do but it's looking ok so far!

I will keep you posts as to how I get on :D

Cheers for the comments guys!

**Request**
Is there a way to have login prompts right on the home page? I want to keep the bookmark on the home page (for announcements, pics, etc.), but I also want to be able to access the login prompts from there also.

TIA
