Gigantic Banner

[Aras]

I love the banner here!
But it is sooo big!
I only have dial-up... and it really slows using the board down for me. Is there any chance at all it could be smaller?
Also; what is the fastest and most simple way, here, to find "todays active topics?" I've been laboriously using the search-function, again with only dial-up that slows me down something wicked. Is there a coded quick-search button I'm not aware of someplace?

Yay, I is not the only one with internet problems! Best bet is to quickly scan the boards on the home page and just look at the recent post bit. Then clicky clicky =)
