Broken/Missing Banners
I hate these broken and missing banners on the message boards. It makes the whole system look bad and can be really annoying when my browser waits and waits on a graphic that will never show up!
If I had the ability, I would replace broken banners just so new users that happen to discover a board wouldn't think the problem was Runboards fault. I have gotten PM's asking what was broken on Runboard when the banners have nothing to do with Runboard!
Banners should NEVER go missing. I keep records of over 1000 Runboard's so there is a good chance I actually have the banner that's missing... There isn't any excuse to let a boards users down like that.
*&%&^$%#!
I feel better now but man-o-man at least have a default, back-up banner posted someplace where such a simple, but important, piece of the board can be fixed if you lose your favorite "custom banner."

Re: Broken/Missing Banners
Some of those banners are on boards where the people are missing too. So they probably let their image host expire or deleted it all too.

Re: Broken/Missing Banners
Those are the worst! The board owner and admins leave but the user community for the board is still there and they have to suffer as things slowly go away! I hate seeing that happen.

Re: Broken/Missing Banners
So do I....if only they would ask if one of the members wanted possession of the board. Some people just don't think like that.

Re: Broken/Missing Banners
I wish people would hand their boards over to one of their members instead of just abandoning them, especially if the board is active. Member morale goes down when no one is looking after the board, plus it can get inundated with spam.
