Default Yet More Adverts? PF short of cash?

I notice there is now yet another advertisement at the top of the page. So that is 3 within the top half of the page and the new addition isn't even a small one!!

Trialling what? How long people can tolerate being pestered with adverts for his company, again, again and again?

Well yes I could use Firefox and not have an issue, but I choose not to for Passionford as it's my preference. (at this moment in time).

Creating new templates? Surely that means the addition of more adverts as if they were a replacement then surely they would be in the same position as the old one and I know thats a simple change that needs to be made and can be made in seconds without testing.

Why they need to be that big I'm completely fucking clueless about also.

Nice input there Stu, nice to see you interacting with the members in a positive way

Let me ask you this, since your “mission statement” just over a year ago do you think passion ford is a better place? From both the point of view of the members and from the traders point of view.

There have always been 2 advertisers banners. This post is about when there were THREE Neil.

That has been taken down to only two forums now for further testing.

Testing for what? Testing for 3 adverts throughout the forums pages?
