I hope that is not going to be there to July!!
Annoying it has no cancel option
SNAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8)
Que?
bottom left druidh on every page
What are you on about? It just sits there in the corner for me, does it do something? It's hardly obtrusive?
ah. Doesn't do owt tho
It's even on the advert itself it's a bit my first advert, think the webdev needs to google a bit harder for new ideas for advertising 🙂
Quite slick!
Coffeeking - probably depends what resolution you run my mac is a small res and it's quite off putting and is in the corner of my eye.

Beats the big flashy boxes and conforms to the wishes of most people who complain about ads. Its small, doesnt get in the way and doesnt flash or make noises. Sounds perfect to me.
Jeeze,cant please anyone!
Re res - mm might have a point, I'm running two at 1650x1080 so it is pretty tiny to me.
It would be ok if you could cancel it after you've read, but it's a static image something more dynamic would be better, the adverts to the right and top are less in intrusive in my opinion, but you are correct you can't please everyone 🙂
yes, it's a case in point. I complained about flashing ads till I got banned for it by an irate Mark, but I never even noticed this one as it sits in the unused gutter on the left, and even now I know it's there I don't mind it...
coffeeking - 1024x768 here you would have appear to have an abundance of screen real estate so I suspect it doesn't matter, shan't try it on my netbook 🙂
Think my laptop runs 800x600 max on a 12.7" screen, I might give it a try for a chuckle 😀
coffeeking - worth a try 🙂
Eh? Something in the bottom left? Nuffin on mine....but all the shite on the right hand side is there, not that it bothers me too much. I'm above advertising don't ya know...
Nothing here either. (1280x800 if it makes any difference)
Peas peas peas, someone post a screen grab or something along those lines, my life will not be complete if I don't see this thing SOOOONNNN!!

A little bit irritating - will it increase the number of people signing up for the Classic Weekender or not?
Classic Weekender? Is that like a [url= http://www.bigbikebash.co.uk/ ]Big Bike Bash[/url]???
Maybe there could be a BBB corner advert on the right 🙂
The classic weekender looks interesting though
Definitely not on mine running Safari on a holier, whiter and cooler than thou
Don't look to bad to me - had to open IE to see it mind.
It's broken for me on the iphone (Safari). Appears at the bottom of the screen rather than the bottom of the page, which means it pretty much blats over the middle of the threads.
[i]Classic Weekender? Is that like a Big Bike Bash??? [/i]
I can't see any mention of 'spectator's tickets' for the Classic Weekender. Gets my vote.
Showing on my Mac running Safari on OSX10.5 - can't say it bothers me.
it completely screws up the page scrolling! not to mention its in the way if I want to clik on a thread link near the bottom of the page.
DOes anyone bother with user testing before unleashing awful junk like this on the world?
ooh how wierd, not there with firefox, but all present and correct on IE
Doesn't bother me too much (Safari 3) but on my MacBook I found that coming to the forums drained my battery much faster than normal. Then I counted up to six flash videos on each page. One or two I'll ignore or read, but six were causing the fans to kick in and the machine CPU got hot all the while. Hence ClickToFlash on Safari and Flashdance on Firefox.
If they were static images then no probs, though.
momo Im in FF.
It wasnt there when other people saw it, now it is.
Wonder if its a cache thing?
adam - Flashdance doesnt seem to do anything on my FF
Stoner - I'm running FF (no probs), Chrome (no probs) and IE (no probs). I reckon that covers something like 95% of potential users?
Nothing seen here, but then again I'm using a phone browser.
Works fine on Windows Mobile IE, but the image over-lays the thread title area on Opera Mini (running on G60 S3)
The problem is it doesn't work on an iPhone as it appears half way down the page.
Its quite obtrusive on a small (Netbook) screen
Although the 'hotspot' still remains.
Its the hotspot causing the scrolling problems on my FF
Because it has a transparent area which is bigger than the turned-over area, you can click on the advert while thinking you're clicking on something else. Annoying.
miketually - I keep hitting the ad when I should hit send post because of that very thing
Looks like the add has now changed for the better looks cool like that.
i use {not any sense at all}
i get no ads at all 🙂
{mod: why don't you go and read the rules}
right then. I've changed it so it's just in the bottom corner of the footer.
The best way to get rid of it is to enter and fill all the places!
...and it still won't show on internet exploder 6 if you're wondering. If you are on IE6 then read this: http://www.bringdownie6.com/
but to be honest I don't always have it switched on
sorry mods
rules now read 😳
Tom that change looks much better - thanks for doing that.
much much better. Cheers Tom!
It was make the scrolling really jerky on my Mac
Where's it gone? It was a little obtrusive on my iPhone, but I can't see it at all on here (OS X + FF) or the iPhone now.
it's on my iphone, and my FF mac...
thank you.
I can use STW again.
Thank you for sorting that, it was driving me nuts on my iPhone.
Much appreciated.

Tell that to my company. Though it's nice to see there are some advantages to being forced to use it 😉
Much nicer there. Works fine on my iPhone (safari) browser now. Thanks Tom.
