Is anybody else seeing a new add banner at the top of the forum?

    At least you can't see it when you are reading posts.

    Yes, I see it, and I'd like to mention to Pinnacle that it may get you more exposure to forum members -- but it's going to be negative exposure because the flashing ad is irritating...

    Just thought that you may like to get some feedback image

    Funny thing. I just noticed it and thought to myself, "I wonder how long that's been there and I never noticed it?"

    I've mentally tuned out banners on web sites for so long, I don't see them most of the time.
  • K6AZK6AZ Posts: 9,295 ✭
    The banners have been on the sportscard forum for a while.

    I've already blocked the banners so I don't see them any longer.

    I guess he doesn't have and Opens or Currencys for sale.


    Yes I see it here.

    Personally, I could care less. If PCGS wants to make a little bit of money selling ad-banner space, good for them. Doesn't slow my load time at all (cable) and I can't see it after I've scrolled down (and I've set the preferences so it loads 100 threads on the list and 100 messages per page when I enter a thread). So, the banner will spend most of the time scrolled safely out of harm's way =0)

    I guess they need to find a new way to drum up business from the forum now that Mark Feld has left their employ. image

    Slows computer down, on tele line (dark ages) but more than than after seeing it with the colors used and banner movement it almost makes me sea sick and I am on dry land.

    I never noticed it either until Russ mentioned it but I think it's cool.image

    The Open Forum must have an ad blocker cause it doesn't show there. image

    When I logged on I got a Heritage Banner, the second time I logged on I got a Bowers and Merena banner. Have to think about this one for awhile, my first reaction was cheesy, but I am too tired tonight to think let alone much care. image So much for the posters having blatant advertising. I wonder if they same folks who pitched a bit*h about the dealers advertising will voice the same comments about the sacred cow selling space. image

    I didn't even see it. My ad blocking is working. I don't have too much of a problem with it, though, so long as it doesn't get out of hand.

    I don't mind a banner it if it's not annoying. This one is very annoying. And It's making me feel a little sick.

    As I just asked in another thread on this topic: For purposes of constructive feedback to both Pinnacle and CU, do those of you who dislike the ad have a problem with the concept of the ad, itself, or the fact that it "moves"?
  • 12345678901234567890 Posts: 395
    The fact that it moves.

    Took one click to get rid of it. Bothers me much less than the pimps on the registry forum.

    Personally Mark it doesn't phase me one way or another. I am just curious how some the blowhards that complained about you having the website addy in your tagline will respond. I doubt if they will.

    If it keeps the forum going, its a good thing.

    If it helps pay our freight, no problem ... a half click on the mouse wheel and it is out of sight. A static ad, rather than moving/flashing, however, would be less distracting and "more dignified."

    I like Pinnacle. I hate that banner ad! image

    The ad's tolerable, Mark. Free country. Smaller and not moving, would be more appealing.

    Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...

    You forgot to add a image to your politely worded insult. You do realize that when you add a image, you are free to belittle and bash all you want!image
