The new banners are beautiful, what a treat.
The don't scale properly on Chrome (latest version, under Windows) though, like they used to.
I believe the last one (in your list) is the comm tower by Owl Hole Springs? And there is one which is probably from near Jubilee Pass area, but not the peak, looking out over the southern end of the valley, over the Confidence Hills and toward the Owlsheads?
I don't know the site of the two track and moon which Kauri mentioned, and I'd drawing a blank on the two cabins with the great distant views.
Really cool contribution, thanks!

I don't have a Windows system to test, but with Chrome they seem to scale ok as long as the window is at least 1000 pixels wide. Can you provide more details on what's going wrong and/or provide a screenshot that shows the problem?

In Chrome, it's not so much that the logo is not scaling, but the entire web page seems to not scale. For me, the logo is the same size as the rest of the web page.

Actually, for me, on Windoze. Chrome, Firefox both behave the same. There is some border around the information that I really didn't pay much attention to. But in both cases, the logo is scaling the same as the web page.

OK, that took a minute - have to do a screen grab, upload it to a web server so I can put it in here...
If I change with width of the window, I see more or less of the banner. As long as the window is at least as wide as the box surrounding the actual messages, the messages are displayed fully, and centered (white space on the sides as I grow the window further.) If I make the window smaller, the right sides of the text part gets cut and I have to scroll left/right to read.
But the behavior of the banner is constant, always seeing whatever is shown starting from the left side, to the width of the browser window, with scroll bar to see the rest of the image.
Hmmm I the "quick reply" doesn't have "insert image" buttons, lets see if I can figure out how to do that by hand.

Scales fine on Firefox though  What a PITA. all the browsers.

Quick thought on this before we dive too deep ... we've made a few changes to the CSS file recently and I want to make sure that's not bogging things down for starters. Apologies if you've already tried a hard refresh on the page (something I had to do on my end to make all new changes take effect).
Windows/Linux:
1. Hold down Ctrl and click the Reload button.
2. Or, Hold down Ctrl and press F5.
3. Or, just open the Chrome Dev Tools by pressing F12. Once the chrome dev tools are open, just right click on the refresh button and a menu will drop down.
If that doesn't clean things up then I'm going to need to finish my coffee first, ha!
Should have put this with the photos:
1. Last Chance Range
2. Eureka Valley
3. Striped Butte
4. Racetrack
5. Kaleidoscope Canyon
6. Mt. Perry
7. Strozzi Ranch
8. Owlshead Comm.

Well what do you know. That "hard reload" thing did the trick. That's a new one by me, and I'm not a noob to web stuff What is the difference between ordinary reload and "hard reload"? Is reloading the CSS not as aspect of reloading the page? Does reloading the page not also reload all the elements on the page that are in different URLs (IMG_SRC kinds of things?).
This might explain issues I've had in my galleries sometimes where I rotated an image in the source file but on redisplay the browser did not show it as rotated, I wonder.

Yep, that definitely would explain what you've run into with work you've done in a source file not being reflected in the browser when you hit refresh.
Your browser caches (saves) a lot of elements like CSS files & images, so when you revisit a page it loads faster as it doesn't have to re-download every single element.
When you do a hard refresh on the page it tells your browser that you want it to download everything from scratch.
That was my first guess as we'd been editing the CSS file. And when you said it works fine in Firefox but not Chrome, I figured Chrome was your regular browser that had saved a previous version of the CSS while Firefox was something you just loaded up and tried for the first time. Both browsers usually render pages almost exactly the same. Computers!

Well bingo, you hit the nail on the head, Taco, and cleared up something I should have realized long ago!

Indeed, the new banners are cool! Also, they are displaying fine in Firefox on my Win 10 laptop.

Edit Reason: double text, unnecessary questions
)
Using Chrome everything appears perfect and when I mouse over the banner and click the next banner appears which is a cool feature. I love your banner work as the capture the vastness and texture of DEVA so well and adds real viewing pleasure to this great forum. Thanks to all involved!
