So, now we're in Bastion, we don't have the header "Gralan Empire" at the top of our forum.

Problem? I think yes. Solution: Someone takes the Flag image, and modifies it so it has the words "The Gralan Empire - Merit, Might, Magic" next to it, with a transparent background. I put it up instead of the current flag, and bam, we have our name back :)

Oh, fine, since nobody else did it, I guess I will. Won't take me longer than a few minutes, anyway.

Is this good? Does the white text work alright? The style I've got has a blue background, so I thought it would work alright, but I don't know if that's standard. Let me know what you think.

oh, goram background. I don't really know what to do, other than suggest you put it up and see if you like it.

That is standard - it's just the Bastion style that has a white background.

It's up now, see what you think. I'm not convinced about the fonts chosen, but the effect is definitely what I was going for.

oh, cool, it does work. I'm not sold on the first one, either, but it was one of the few that fit well into the space I allotted (which I now see can be increased a bit). I do like the second, though.

I think the second would need to be bolded a bit to make it more readable.

How about the fonts Quasimodo and Papyrus for the top and bottom parts?

That depends. Are they available on GIMP? Though, I suppose I can also do it on paint, then do the transparent stuff on GIMP. Are they available on Paint?

You'll need to download Quasimodo (or I can send it to you, I'll do that). Papyrus is a standard one.

Ok, now I've added a forum at the very top level with a link to the Guide. Anyone want to do a 60 px wide image for it?

Also, would it be helpful to place any more links in there. Currently it's a link forum to the guide. But I can put more links in the description if you think it's helpful.
