I really should just leave this at this, but why?

I'll just continue with my snide comments and un-helpful ways while you bagger me with your snarky IT skills and limitless expanse.

Well we got it in a place Fell and I like, I need to check to see if I can change some of the padding since I need to shave about 3 pixels off to get to our original header size, but besides that I think this will be the look for a while.

Ideally we'll be resizing that block a bit, but so far we can't find any way to do it--it's all pre-sized by Amazon.

Excellent placement of the Mistborn Ad on the front page.  I don't suppose the same thing could be done on the rest of the pages...?

It works on the front page because there is a space there. It doesn't work on the forums, because there isn't a space just lying empty. It's filling space thats already been filled.

What's up with the amazon link now? There's no Mistborn ad, just a "shop now and save" flashing ad. If it's Mistborn, I think it's fine, but the flashing Amazon thing? Not so much. Is it actually making the site more money or something?

Amazon randomly replaces these adds with their banner every once and a while.  Nothing we can do about it, it's just part of the program.

When you buy a copy of Elantris through these links, we make about 70 cents; that's better than nothing, but it emphasizes the point that we didn't put these ads up to make money, we put them up to help Brandon. We want you to buy his book, regardless of where or how, and if the ad makes it easier then hooray.

Oh, no, I don't mind that part. It was the banner part, which Sprig explained. I was just thinking that if the Mistborn ad had disappeared, it wasn't much point having the Amazon thing there. But now I get it.

Well, I'm picking up a hammer and sawing. How much clearer can it get?

So.... why is part of the graphic cut off? I know that the "or Buy Now $17.61" isn't as important as the cover art itself, but it doesn't look so great to have part of the image sliced off, imo. The weird thing is that I don't think it used to be like that.... huh.
