    Here here. MSE Towers, pull your finger out, get an appropriate Paralympics forum header up - congrats to all our paralympians :T :T :T

    I don't remember seeing a Paralympics banner in previous years and looking at the list below of the Site Logo Gallery, I don't think there has been one yet;):

    As it's the weekend, if the MSE Design Team do decide to create a Paralympic banner............it probably won't appear until Monday. If we see one before then, it's a bonus.

    That's just my personal thoughts, as a member of this forum. I don't have any official inside information.;)

    I'm loving watching the Paralympics on my television. The GB athletes are amazing.:T

    Come on MSE, a bit of patriotism and equal treatment for the disabled and able bodied athletes wouldn't go amiss!

    Message him again and tell him there is no copyright issue with a banner saying "Go Paralympic Team GB" in red,white and blue.

    He hasn't tried very hard has he?

    Its strange there was no copyright issues in having an Olympic themed banner, yet they see an issue with a Paralympic one. It does sound like a weak excuse for forgetfulness.

    I personally had no interest in the Olympics or Paralympics, but if MSE were prepared to show such support for the Olympics, it seems only right they offer the same for the Paralympics.

    They even had one for chanuka, divali and edi an various christian holidays.

    About sums it up, pander to religious nutters, but not to the greatest sporting event for the disabled..
