Full Version: New ad positiioning?
Forums > News and Announcements > Feedback

I see the ad was moved above the nav, im guessing to avoid the problem with the ad covering it. But it is very ugly now...

I bet it will get more clicks now though cause ill click on it, on accident a lot.

Do you guys like it?

Topic Moved to Feedback.

I think the new ad positioning is really weird as well. It gets annoying clicking all those stupid ads everytime I try to click My Account or Admin CP. The worst part is it opens in a new window for me, and it just slows my computer down when it has to open a second Mozilla Firefox window.

Wow now everything is messed up?! The nav is invisible!
deadmellotron
^ What do you mean the nav is invisible? It's not like that for me. shrug.gif

Try changing to the night time skin and see if it fixes that.

EDIT: Scratch that. It looks fine in every skin for me.
Maccabee
I know, but it should be fixed either way.
deadmellotron
^ I'm sure since things just got changed that it's being worked on right now, so just wait it out.

hi guys,

try refreshing the page, it shouldnt look like the screenshot above. the new ad placement is to address an issue with some browsers where the drop down menu appear behind the ad.

Is there a way that more space can be created between the My Account | Log Out links and the ad to prevent clicking the ad most of the time?

EDIT: Forum links are like halfway on the blue bar and halfway in the content.

Once I refreshed in firefox, the navigation showed up as normal. :)

Did you notice also, the logo on the non-forums pages is like 30% larger.


Oh yeah, I noticed that too. Wierd. mellow.gif

I knew I wasn't going blind, haha. But at least it's around the same size in height as the ad.

This is only on the non-forum side of cB, right?

I think it's okay. I mean it's not that big of a deal. Just need to get it used to looking differently.
Mikeplyts
Oh yeah, and the gradient is bigger and a bit of a different color on non-forums pages.

yeah the createblog logo doesn't fit on the forum page now for me, it's mostly covered up. it's also a different color blue than the entire bar.

i didn't even notice the ad moving at until i saw this topic.

It started doing this for me like an hour ago, as well.

Its kinda odd but any time I see something weird, I just hit refresh and it fixes it. It doesnt even fix it if I leave and come back. Only when I refresh.
