[Mainsite] Site trying to load banner when cover art doesn't exist? [Not a Bug]

[DokterKaj]

I don't know if this is a bug or not, but when I went on this page that doesn't have any cover arts, there's an animation of a faded vertical white bar sweeping from left to right over and over again. I've tested this on PC (Firefox) and mobile (Chrome) and it appears on both, although you have to look a bit harder to see it on mobile.

To be clear, this is not a report asking for cover arts to be added to that page. I'm just concerned that the site might be unnecessarily using resources to try to load an image that doesn't exist.

But checking, this entry has a cover art next to the title, or was it added after this post? Besides that, that's an animation, it's mean to be displayed while resources load in the page

Yes, that was added after I made this thread, which is why I made the above comment.

Right, so what I'm saying is that if a page doesn't have any cover arts, then there's no need to attempt to load the banner.

but remember you are in the bug sub forum, this is not a bug is an intended behavior
