On another note...WL Wouthern...can the poll be pulled down?


I know, i just dont have the time to dedicate to it! :)

OK...but are you not able to come back to it later?


I can work on it but I dont have the time to do updates every week... :(

2 issues.
1 the glow thing looks like some tubes not crosswords. i still think you should go for the grayscale approach.
2. the map is too tall. and you don't have space to put the legend on the side cause that would make it too wide. so that gets back to one of my earliest suggestions of reducing the number of terits.

Maps are recommended to be:

600 x 350 (small) with a max of 600 x 600
800 x 600 (large) with a max of 800 x 800

I'll quote the How to Make a Map Thread
Image Creation Section wrote:Host the image using Photobucket.com or something similar. The type of image file must be PNG, GIF, or JPEG. You must design two versions of the map: a small (up to 600 px wide), and a large (up to 800 px wide). Height must not be any greater than 600px on small maps and 800px on large maps, but it is recommended that you do not exceed 350 px on small maps and 600 px on large maps so that users will not need to scroll down to attack.

Yes Spinwizard...some work to be done there on height...perhaps the idea would be to lose a few squares width wise, and reduce the title & instructions.

Could you please post the basic required information such as map size in the first post? I'd like to know what the size issue is without reading 17 pages of posts.
