The coding has zero bearing over cookies refreshing. That's 100% web browsers. If you keep getting old images from the old site design (like I did for awhile), there's a way to delete all cookies related to this site manually (either by clicking the delete cookies link at the bottom of the home AND forum page or by going directly through your browser and deleting the ffxiv-roleplayers folder in the cookies list).
Alothia, which browser do you use? Can you please provide a screenshot of how the banner looks? If the problem hasn't resolved itself yet, can you take a quick peek at this phpbb template? Do the three banner images line up correctly on it for you? <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo/3.0/?style_id=425">http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo/3.0/?style_id=425</a><!-- m -->
I'm a bit surprised at some of the 'hate' toward the color scheme/images, especially considering I asked for feedback/help multiple times over a month ago (along with an actual screenshot of the forum index page rough draft) in the Lounge and received very little feedback then. Text colors will continue to be tweaked as necessary, though I see no issue with any of the images or overall colors, and no "pixilation" on my end (unless you mean the sides of the scroll, which is designed that way to give a lighting effect until a shadow effect can be added).
Cursor: Option to have/not have is not possible through a phpbb coding standpoint. It either has to be one way or another >.>.
Rainbow text: I'll (reluctantly) remove it when I find a prominent means to display text while hovering over it.
Loading: It's not really that much more image heavy than the old site design. The borders surrounding everything caused a lot of memory issues then too. The scroll and background /are/ a bit more heavy in loading than the previous backgrounds though. I don't know how much more I can optimize them but I'll try.
On a final note, and I don't mean to sound defensive, but saying things like "I wouldn't open it up at work" or comparing the site to Twilight stuff are kinda rude ways to get a point across in my opinion. Yoshi-P put it best in one of his semi-recent posts on the Japenese forums--encouragement will cause me to move heaven and earth to satisfy the community. Insults, on the other hand, can cause one to stop caring. But thank you all for the feedback nonetheless.
