In my very humble oppinion, todays banner beats the hell out of some of the alternatives you guys posted. Great pic, shows the beauty of Miami, not just the skyline.

If it were more updated like the others with the Marquis topped out, it would be GREAT!!! That fact that it's old is my only issue with it.

That is the Flagler monument in Biscayne Bay just off South Beach. You can see it better in the photo I copied at the top of the page.

I don't about you guys, but I have set my preferences (options) to display the most recent message first (on top). I found it much easier then having to click on the thread title and then click on last page and then scroll down all the way to the bottom of the page to read the most recent message. When I click on the thread it shows the most recent message right away.

The only down-side is this thing: points in the wrong direction when referencing the prior post .

That is why you click on the little arrow pointing down left to the thread name. It takes you to the last unread message.

To see the banner, all you have to do is change your computer's date to October 4, then refresh the page. Miami's banner should be on top

Not as a banner though. Too much glitz and not enough skyline.

Thats what impressed me the most. Not only are the people, the parties, and the nightlife all glam, but so is our skyline and its beautiful accents.

Winter Music Conference.


I've been twice to go the Ultra Music Festival. The best was when it was held in Bayfront Park and you had the buildings of Downtown as a backdrop. Great memories.
