    Okay, so here's the thing:

    @Derpyfishnoms was awesome and commissioned me to do a YouTube banner. It came out pretty well! The problem is...we're having issues with it not cropping well. It's barely even visible on mobile, and it gets cropped really weirdly on desktop.

    I've attached two versions of the banner. We could both really use your help with the whole thing--I want Derpy to be able to use the banner!

    INCREDIBLY LATE SCIENCE INCOMING

    so i tried it on my own channel, and yeah, it crops really small. YT's recommended size is 2560 x 1440 - any way you can resize your files to fit? I wonder if the difference in ratio is what's messing with their cropping algorithm...

    I can probably try that, yes. Very weird, though--that's not the recommended size we were given! gdi, yt. :(

    And thank you so much, @Kaylotta. :) I'll definitely try resizing it once I'm done with a project I have to work on for my volunteer job! @Derpyfishnoms, I am SO sorry this has taken so long--I really hope this works!
