How long have the Banners been showing between posts?? They look great and I think it makes you more aware of them. Quy I am sure takes credit for this he is a genius with his work.

I've noticed them and to be honest I worry that in time they'll be taking over the board! And because so many of us are used to them NOT being there before the last post we think that we've reached the end of the thread when we get to the banner and don't even see the last post. (I've been talking to some other TTers about it!)

It's not that we can't adapt to change. Loads of fantastic changes have happened to TT in the last 2 years!!!!!! But I don't want to feel like I'm going to a site that's going to be full of advertisements. No, I don't have a banner advertisement but I can honestly say that even if I did I'd still feel the same way. I come here to share with fellow bear artists... I can go to a magazine or an onloine e-zine if I want to be see ads. I'm not saying TT is over run with them yet but is this a sign of things to come???

I think Quy's just "trying on" a new way to display the banners here.  He's always trying to give advertisers maximum exposure without compromising the functioning of the site.  I think software tweaks like this sometimes require a real-time, temporary change in the site for "preview" purposes< to get an accurate feel of how things will look when rolled out.   

If there's going to be an permanent change to the site in this or any other area, it will be announced officially like we always do, to keep readers informed.

Thanks for your input!!

Now have you ever met a computer wizz who will not leave things alone, I am not a wizzz and boy oh boy I would have Bill Gates, QUY, turning bald/grey/pink if they saw what I could do with some of the pc programs-

I cant leave things alone, I have to experiment on the PC, normally to my pc technician glee, as then he has to come "fix" the mess up.

Well as Shelli said sometimes the only way to test something is to put it through a live test,  I guess I wasn't paying attention cause I didn't even notice   bear_grin .

It doesn't bother me and I like the idea of giving advertisers maximum exposure.

Looking good with the few extra banner placements!  Still in balance with the rest of the site, not overwhelming. Thanks Quy and those behind the scenes who always keep things flowing while promoting the artists here!!  bear_flower
