See your Miata in Lights!!!!

[Phatmiata]

Did you notice the new scrolling photos at the top of the page?? Wanna see your Miata in lights?

MazdaRoadAdmin has been working hard on some new changes for the forum, and here is the latest & greatest!

All you need to do is post some photos in this thread ----> http://mazdaroadster.net/showthread.php?7555-Facebook-Miata-Submissions

We will use the selected photos for our facebook page, and we will also crop a few and put them in the rotating banner above!

FWI, photos that have LOTS of extra width are easiest to work with for a wide banner like this. :whistle:

(SEE EXAMPLE BELOW)

I was wondering about that this morning. Looks like I will be getting the car cleaned and taking some pics!

[MazRoadAdmin]

Note that the banner images are about 3x wider than a Miata. If you're taking photos for this, be sure they have LOTS of background on either side of the car! Close-cropped photos don't work so well.

This is a Great Feature!!!!!!!!!!!

I was very surprised this morning when I got on the forum to see my car in the banner! :D

[SM16RMSM]

Wow, that is cool. I didn't notice it til the thread. Been reading through Tapatak app.

[Ihatecars]

This is pretty awesome.
I'll try and snap some nicer picture of my car in hope of becoming a Miata in Lights.

Just Miatas? How about other cars or girlfriends?

Protip: Put your photos in a photo thread. That's where all of the ones used came from.

I won't be updating the slideshow again anytime soon, and I won't be looking in this thread when I do. (this is an announcement thread, not a photo thread)

Also, again, photos generally need to be very WIDE / LONG. 376x80 is nearly 5 times as wide as it is tall. So, while the photos above area good, none of them are really usable in that space.

[Rogue]

My apologies, I thought I put them in the other thread.

[MazRoadAdmin]

Added about 40 new photos to the banner today. Some are JDM stuff that Phat suggested. (JDM guys :fp:... whaddayagonnado?) The rest are actual recent MEMBER photos lifted from various photo threads on the forum. Some pretty cool stuff.

Remember, shots with WIDE backgrounds are your best bet for banner exposure. I usually skip the close-cropped photos unless they're particularly interesting because they don't fill the banner. Keep posting your photos in the major photo threads!

[WASABI]

Thanks Loren, they look great!

[Malibu Q]

The banner is a nice feature on this site, much improved by the increase in the number of pix. Well done for adding even more variety to it. :slayer:

[mini_fd]

Whenever it's updated I sit and watch it cycle through to see everyone's pictures.

[HELLIONMX5]

ok I will try adding a picture. hope its good enough.

[etikoner]

Quoting this as a reminder...

[Phatmiata]

Yes thank you!! Guys make sure there is a lot of free space on the left and the right background so that we can fit it in the banner. Otherwise it won't look right with empty space

I was about to repeat most of this when I remembered that I'd already said it.
