Here you go. Turns out I had forgotten to put the right path in the Puzzles updater last time we changed servers (thanks to that Fox C&D) so the index wasn't being updated. New eCards/puzzles: Dinner at Elzar's, Kiss The Bride (FemJesse's wedding pic) and Leela Minogue (for the Leelaholic guys).

Also be sure to label it as Futurama content in some way; write "Fanfic for TLZ" or something similar in the subject line.
The TLZ mail-accounts get a ton of worm/vira/hacker-mails. A few days ago I even got an email with the word "Futurama" in the subject line and the dispatch address, yet it was one of those badly concealed ZIP-worms.
Other than that, just follow Graham's instructions.

TLZ is by FAR my favorite Futurama Site. The graphic guides are great.

Thanks, Smitty. Good to know someone noticed. <IMG SRC=" http://peel.gotfuturama.com/ubb/wink.gif"> Originally posted by Faris: I give the site 10/10 I love the daily updates. I've never seen anything like it. Thanks, as Graham have said a few times the praise should go to our loyal submitters as well. Without their great work, we would have been rather hollow.

the widescreen design is awsome for me since I'm a 1280x1024 user. ...and of course, I read this right after I replace it with a non-widescreen one! Poo. Oh well, I guess the next layout will be a widescreen one again... __ Futurama On Drugs: The Leela Zone

Don't worry, the site's still The Leela Zone at the core (same bunch of insane webmasters, and all the content that was there is still there). The change in the slogan and de-Leeling the layout have two goals: 1) Get more non-Leela fan stuff for the site, because even when we _say_ every other update that we take non-Leela fanart, fanfiction, wallpapers and fanwhatever, we STILL get a vast majority of Leela-only content. 2) Attract more people that don't care about Leela, because the site has a bunch of non-Leela content that gets a bit overlooked because of the Leela-centricness of the title and layout. Goal 1 is a priority; goal 2 could be a nice side-effect. The original idea was to simply change the name of the site, but we figured we'd have visitors rioting if we just did that. So we added a subtitle, slogan, or whatever you want to call it. If people don't get the idea and we STILL get just floods of Leela-only content, I may just have to register www.futuramaondrugs.com.... __ Futurama On Drugs: The Leela Zone

The site will still cater for Leela fans, but we felt that we needed to emphasise that we're not a Leela-only site and, as Leo has said, take any Futurama-related stuff. I suppose the way that Leela-centric fans could combat this is to send us tons of Leela-related stuff to weigh against the non-Leela content we get. Sometimes I say too much... <IMG SRC=" http://peel.gotfuturama.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif">

I think you'll find that we got that million due to the contributions from fans, the webmasters' updates and hard work, and other such stuff rather than what the site was called.
The issue is that we are trying to branch out, and although we've been doing that for some years now, we still get emails from people asking if we'd accept non-Leela work, which we do. I can understand the confusion, seeing that the site is called The Leela Zone, so we thought we'd try to make it less subtle for our casual visitor and the non-visitor that dislikes/hates/loathes/despises Leela but doesn't realise that we don't just cater for her fans but cater for all the characters' fans.
I don't think the site stood out just because it was called The Leela Zone or that it centred on Leela, I feel it stood out due to various other factors that I mention above. Still, maybe we're wrong and will bomb, but we'll just have to see if that's the case or not.
So, who wants Classic Cola back?

I can get used to the new layout but I don't like seeing the Buffy font there.
I like Hermes in bandages!

Well, I want the old layout back. Please change it back or make the thing where you can use both. Read my comment on the TLZ website. We read your comment there, here, and in the mail. We already know Faris Hates FOD, so don't worry. As for changing the layout back, it's been up for one day. Let us finish collection opinions before we decide what to do. You surely suffered worse layouts at my hands, so you can wait a few days, don't you think? Considering the current feedback, it's unlikely the slogan "Futurama On Drugs" will stay -- more because of the people who took it the wrong way (thinking it was actual drug endorsement) than anything else. We're still going to add another slogan in the next layout, as soon as I think of one. 'The Futurama Insane Asylum' looks good for me... As for the next layout: - Widescreen look: most likely. - Other characters besides Leela: yep. - FOD slogan: not likely. - Non-Leela content: definitely staying. - Lots of new hatemail: highly probable. Several people complained that the FOD slogan was more visible on the layout than the title of the site itself. Well, you KNOW what site you're visiting, after all, so I don't see what the big problem is -- we've had several layout that didn't say "The Leela Zone" at all. I think I'll just include the acronym "TLZ" in the next layout and leave the name out completely... always good to see so much hatemail in one day. __ The Futurama Insane Asylum: The Leela Zone

Awsome. I've got great expectations on that one. Keep up the hard and ungrateful work <IMG SRC=" http://peel.gotfuturama.com/ubb/smile.gif">

I really do think a few of you are taking the Futurama on Drugs thing a bit too seriously. It's meant to mean that the webmasters are acting as if they were on drugs, not that we're advocating taking them (although what adults do with their bodies is up to them, IMO, but that's another story for another thread). I mean, do we get this uproar when Bender goes on a booze marathon? Do we get upset because Hermes partakes in taking weed? No, it seems that we don't do that, for we realise that this is comedy, edgy comedy if you will.
Anyway, as Leo has said above, due to taking things too literally by some, we are probably going to remove the Futurama on Drugs logo and replace it with either Futurama Insane Asylum or Futurama Communist Utopia.
Kidding on the second one before McCarthy rises from the grave and kills us all. :P
