Did you load your banner into your Photo Center since the change? That's the problem. Either use Photobucket or the group photo section. There are size restrictions in your personal photo center that have not been added to the group photos.
Photobucket is downsizing my banners on it's own too--must be a size restriction!! I hate to put one in the group photos, cause I'm really wanting to personalize the banners.

I just tested your banner thats in our group photo gallery here on my profile skin and it worked fine. Follow these instructions:
1. Left click once on the banner in the photo gallery you want to use and a new window will open.
2. Put your cursor over the image and right click once then click on "properties". The Properties Box will open.
3. Highlight and copy the Address URL. It will look something like this(without the ++'s)
++http://www.eons.com/images/members/0/ 9/09069289_o.jpeg++ Be sure you copy ALL of the URL beginning with the http and ending with the jpeg.
4. Open your profile page, click on "Change My Skin" then click on the "Edit" link under your current profile skin view.
5. Click on the "Banner" tab and paste the URL you copied into the blank box that says: "Choose a photo you've uploaded to Eons or paste the location (URL) of an image"
6. Click on preview to view your new banner and if you are satisfied click on save changes and you're done.
Re: Photobucket:
I have all my premade banners stored on Photobucket and dont have any problems. Assuming you have presized the image you want to use to 974x100 left click on it in your Photobucket album and a new window will open. That photo is NOT full size. Above that you will see a small box with a magnifying glass that says full image. Click on that to view the image in correct full size dimensions. You can right click on it once to verify the true image size. To add it to your Eons banner you can 1. right click on the full size image once to get the properties box then copy that URL or 2. you can go back to your Photobucket album and click on Direct Link to get the URL. Be sure to use the Direct Link code and not the HTML code
