Banners - PAC-BANZAI - 11-29-2017
If we can, banners should be added to the site. Banners can work in a similar way to twitter and a few other sites. If they were to appear, then they should be as large as the mfgg banner.

It matters because: how often are people going to the profiles of others if there isn't any content to follow there?

I don't think that this would be very useful. It's a lot of work for something not a lot of people will regularly see. It makes much more sense on something like Twitter. imo avatars are enough.

That said, I love banners. My favourite website software is the custom software used on Giantbomb.com
They integrate their site with their forum and their wiki with a single sign in, and they have banners on their profile pages: https://www.giantbomb.com/profile/xander/

If banners WERE to be included, then I say they should be the same size as the picture in my sig
RE: Banners - VinnyVideo - 11-30-2017
It's not a bad idea, but right now it's low on the priority list. If enough people request this, we could probably find a way to make it happen, though.
RE: Banners - Willsaber - 11-30-2017
I think these are kind of fun. I can understand why it's low priority, since usually the signature serves the same function, though.
RE: Banners - Yoshin - 11-30-2017
Minus World has these, and it's a pretty harmless feature so I don't see why not add them

Can you show an image of what a profile banner looks like?
