Re: NO new layount

Ok, I like the fact that it's not in the thread views.

I guess it depends on the size monitor everyone has. I don't have a big problem with the sidebar with my 17", but those with smaller monitors might find themselves squinting to read the text, like freakray.

I like the idea tho. Maybe if they can be put horizontally somewhere, it'd be better.

Re: NO new layount

I have a 19" monitor and it's Very annoying. Put as many of ads on top, or even popup, but not on sides ! All the thread look weird now and it's hard to see the listing.
Also, I think it take more bandwith. I had very hard time to acces the forum today.

I'm not really interested in Auto. Articles anyway, so even if you take 1/4 of the screen with an Ads, I won't click on the link more becose it take the whole page (I don't even read them !).

To me the AA advertisment is like a pop up ad that does not go away!

Re: NO new layount

When I get online I expect NOT to be able to get into AF and expect to see that damn "server busy but check out automotive articles" message...It's like nowadays I am more shocked when I can get on the forums.

AF is free. Advertisement pays for it and I don't. I think I can put up with it.

Maybe you don't pay for it but some of us DID last year on the sponsorship drive. Guess that's worth nothing now?

Re: NO new layount

geez...I think the sidebar is great. 17" LCD monitor, 1152 x 864 resolution, true color, and large fonts...works wonders, try it.....

Re: NO new layount

I am so confused as to how so many other forums can survive quite well without these kind of problems, but anyhow, a horizontal bar would be much better

I think the best Idea would be to do a compromise:

Just putting this ads on the top, you would have a good visibility, and the forum content wouldn't be affected. Just look the picture:

All I know is that the articles are getting pushed on us left and right. The forums are turning into the hit counter for everything else.

I personally think that with the current status of the server, all the money spent on the 350Z could've been much better spent. That is, unless it was 100% Igor's money and nobody elses that was donated.
