i am having a bit of a hard time as to why you suddenly require extended network banners. i have a layout series [NEBULA], and i usually get lots of requests to make new ones with different color schemes. i currently have 3 of them. and my 4th one was rejected because of this new guideline. i know that my layouts are high quality and adding a extended network banner isnt going to make them any better, it will actually make them look worse. cant the rule just be "extended network banners are encouraged but if your layout looks fine without it, we will accept it" WHY NOW, why is this rule necessary, extended netowrk abnners arent supposed to have a background image. ughh so stupid and ridiculous.

unless the layout has poor quality images then i can see how all three are needed.

MySpace defaults or myspace standard layouts?
defaults are like no CSS except a background.

Poor image quality = automatic rejection, no matter how nice the rest of the layout looks.

Sorry, MySpace standard layouts. It's just that I think of defaults and standards as being non-DIV overlays, haha.

All my friends hate extended network banners because they look cheesy. To me, it makes the layout look like it's from some Pimp-My-Space.

Maybe they've seen too many bad extended networks, then, but there are plenty on CB that don't look like they're from that site. Some recently submitted examples:

http://www.createblog.com/layouts/code.php?id=29582
http://www.createblog.com/layouts/code.php?id=28966

And why is that? Personally, I think it's because CreateBlog's standards are high, so although you may think they're too high, I think it's necessary for the site to keep its standards above that of other MySpace layout domains.

although this did get rejected Ruki - the GazettE for lacking a background... which wasn't really needed but i submitted one with one.

I thought the layout was okay without a background too, but like I said, I was following the submission guidelines.

The staff is actually discussing being more flexible about the criteria for MySpace standard layouts, so please wait and see if the guideline will be changed/updated yet again. =)
