Well I was just looking at the forum and thought that it looked rather plain when you first get on the homepage. Even though I am the worst person to do graphics on the whole planet I figure I give it a try.
By cropping some pictures that I had from that great logo that was made for me I made up a little banner of pictures.
Now everytime you go to the Vinny From Brooklyn forum you will get to see a little bit of brooklyn. The pictures from left to right are the old atlantic avenue kiosk that has not been used for years. It has wonderful details and will be used again when they build the new arena for the Brooklyn Nets basketball team. It is on the corner of Atlantic and Flatbush avenue.
The second picture is taken from under the Brooklyn Bridge and it shows some cool orange-like clouds.
The third picture is the top of BAM as we call it, Not many people look up and see this detail. It is located a block from the famous clocktower.
The fourth pictures is taken under the Brooklyn Bridge also of the little park that is under the Bridge. They have a cool walkway down there. To see it on the forum Click Here

I *love* it. And it looks great on the forum, really makes you want to be there
Thanks I used infraview and made a custom size. It was so easy to do I can’t believe it myself.
I croped the images down to 100 pixel height and changed the dpi from 200 to 72 so it would load faster. Once I opened infraview I hit custom image and lined them up left to right and hit save. Took 3 minutes
