OK

Big update to the adverts. This will take a few days for the code to work out what kind of ads we're interested in, etc. So bear with it for a few days please

 

(who misses me spelling "bear with us" wrongly? )

 

Do you normally keep a bear with you

The ad's have gone rather strange, Im getting loan ads, vein cream ads etc LOL

Not that I need them of course

Not really noticed any speed difference yet, as it started to go very fast yesterday for me

 

Sonic

Like I said. The ads will be weird for a few days.

 

ah right I thought thats what you meant

Site is even faster now than it was before

 

no, but I didnt miss you spelling "modification" wrong

site is quicker..ads are just plain funny now

 

It's starting to come together now. I'd still like the site and forum navigation to be better integrated

 

No worries, glad you like some of the ideas. I've noticed the improvements today Its all moving in the right direction

 

I like the new look 'personal message board', perfect so i can get rid of what i dont want to see! Nice touch.
You have to make money, so the ads i will have to get used to, or get rid of them myself. Not to my liking of course.
Now i have centre view back how i want it (like i loved when you first did it, a Simon? lol, i am happier.
I look forward to more changes if i can spot them easily! As i have a seive head and forget how it was so easily.
Much like the old Scotch video tape advert, can anyone remember the ad where it says, 'is this on the tele now?' and 5 seconds later, 'is this on the tele now?', well thats me and my brain! LOL.

 

Now getting ads for laser eye treatment think they must know i'm on here too much

 

Arrrghh... Ocean Finance!!! ---->

I'm off to poke my eyes out with a pencil!!

Nice work, on adding the clickable X thingy to the messages above though!

 

after you've poked them out, you can take a look at the eye surgery people!

Stick with it guys, its going to take a few days to settle down.

 

Jeez, the general busy-ness and offensive colours are really starting to affect my usage of the forums. How would a partially-sighted person cope?

Look at PistonHeads.com :: Speed Matters for an example of a successful site (sold to Haymarket now) with limited advertising, avatars and signatures. It's clean and functional.

 

Well i'm impressed with all the changes so far, and how they've been implemented

thanks oobster

1) the piston heads forum is minute by comparrison to ScoobyNet, and is ranked some 1,300 places lower down the pecking order of forums on big boards.

2) their SITE is very successful though, and the SITE that you just sent me a link to has ON THAT PAGE ALONE :

ELEVEN banner adverts

Please try to get your facts straight before commenting in such an opinionated and cocky tone.

I'm all for criticism, as long as its a) constructive, b) offered without the cocky arrogance (we're on your side after all) and c) based on fact rather than fiction.

I think most of us know that it always seems to be those who shout in an opinionated tone that tend to be the ones that know nothing. The reason is that they prefer to shout, than to listen, so they never actually learn anything.

Anyway. Thanks to the overwhelming majority on your appreciation, or constructive criticism. I hope we're striking as close to the perfect balance as possible, but we'll keep at it

 

Yes, but they seem less intrusive and more tightly integrated somehow. Never mind, it's your site
Maybe it's because I'm using Safari.

 

aah, ok. It may well be because of safari.

Do me a favour. If you have time, please post in bugs / features and we'll try to work it out

 

You spelt it right... the other one would mean we were all unclothed

 

LOL

what i mean is.. I always used to spell it "bare with us", and got the micky taken out of me for ages, to the point where I acutally started doing it on purpose.

I was asking if anyone misses the old days when I used to spell it wrongly

 

 

Cant believe you are stealing corners in here Swiss

Was it me just then, or did everyone just go a dark grey over here

<----------------------------

 

shhhs, webby hasnt noticed about the corner


and no, it was just you. do us a favour and go outside, is there a big dark cloud over your house..

 

So you would prefer us all to be bare with you?

 

bare chested maybe

stop muppetising this thread

 

It was you that muppetised it, not me

Seems people are still posting about the issues in this thread in other parts of the forum, why they just can't read I don't know!!

 

ooooh....more logos








<---------

 

Just wondering if they would look neater if the active supporter badge, the car and the STi were centralised

 

Time to find me an ad blocker! lol.
Would sooner have none than avatars any day!

SirFozzalot - I would need to see them centralised first before i comment. A Test would be good i think.

 

MaDaSS

You can switch them off in your user cp if you don't like them!! God you don't half like to moan don't you!!!

Centralised looks dreadful as the rest of the content is to the left. I tried it easrlier
