lol, its within dufmans favour for them to stick out really isnt it!

the ads being near the bottom, i feel annoying, but if it has to be it has to be, it doesnt dent invision being the best!

also, does dufman actually own the whole of invision? or is he like a manager of somesort? what is ips.com to invision?

He codes IF and is the ROOT admin of it. he coudl ban any of us promote any of us, demoete anyone, he coudl probley do anythign to IF that he wants. Be lucky he even started it. I am h appy for him but I am patient and will do what the 18 year old teen says.

Duffman isn't a manager of Invision. That is Matt Mecham. Matt also created IPB and IPS is (InvisionPowerServices) which is almost like a "portal" for all the services that Matt creates (such as forums, blog, gallery, top sites, etc)

Well, I clicked on them by mistake alot today, at 1280x1024 this is only like 3 mm between menu and
the add, well, look on what do people say, alot of them complains about the same thing.
I don't know why do you think they are less visible...I see these bright blue descriptions on my forum
perfectly. Anyway if it bothers you, and you don't believe me that making them relevant instead
annoying will bring you alot more hits, why not make range of colours that are allowed?

Slow down, and get used to them.

If you can move them back up top, Please do it, but if not its alright, better than alot of other forum host with ads all over the place :)

I must admit, I don't really like the ads at the bottom. I would prefer them back up top, as posted above they are a little easy to click on by mistake.

I can understand the logic behind this move is to earn more revenue by ad clicks, but it doesn't make my board members any happier.

I guess we have to live with it unless we purchase ad removal. :(

I think that it's more intrusive personally now with them at the bottem. After all that's where people go to reply to them. Pherhaps you could place them back at the top? They do blend with the boards better now though I must agree.
XD about what Seth found. That's just plain curuel. I guess I can live with them right above my QR...

Twilight is upon me, and soon night must fall.

the original line was when it was planned for an april fool's joke. But then seth did the admin thing instead. We were working on huge seizure inducing pop ups on the support forum for that day :P

yes that was a joke. the only seizure inducing images on invisionfree come from phrank.

May I make a suggestion? I think they would be less intrusive just right below where the fast reply goes. eg when the FR is closed the add will be below the buttons for reply and such.
