An extended centered logo would require different vector art and not allow for the same level of advertising support up there. (I know lots of people don't care for ads, but they're a reality if you want this site to stay free to members.)

If it's any consolation, our owner is working on a site redesign right now that's going to be rolled out fairly soon. His plans may include a new logo placement, but I won't be holding my breath on that. I think the logo looks good where it is now!
I don't think I was clear enough, believe me I understand about picture placement and composition. I studied Media and Business, and now Graphic Design. In all subjects we were taught about peoples reading habits and what they will look at first, and how to keep my image or product in the back of their mind. I've designed flyer's, magazine covers, websites, and other bits for myself and clients. I'm not saying remove the advert, I was just talking about making it possibly neater. I can even give examples of what I mean, the Canna.com logo is in PNG format so it wouldn't need resizing because extra details can be added behind the canna logo, yet again I can give examples of this too. I was just curious of the Image alignment would be cleaned up, not the removal of ad's.
