Here is how the Other Forum looks now on a 1024x768 screen.

<a href="http://imageadventures.com/other/dvdtalkheader.jpg"><img src="http://imageadventures.com/other/dvdtalkheader.jpg" width=640></a>

Yeah, all the posts are actually off the screen. I'm not sure that's a good idea for a forum, if you don't even see... the forum.

It's even in the reply page...

Odd. I'm not seeing the big inetvideo banner at the top.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

I'm seeing the banner, the popups, the annoying logo on the Political Film forum.....and I'm logged in. As a premium member. So much for my plans to renew in a few months.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Glad I never signed up for a premium membership. Appears to be a big waste of money (I have avatars turned off. Makes the forum look messy and childish to me.)

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Yep. I would have gladly paid for a premium membership when Geoff owned the site, but paying money to IB for popups and "sponsored" forums that no one asked for and that clutter up the site? No thanks.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

The pop-ups and the giant sized banner are not pleasing, imo. I don't mind advertising on the site (we've always had it), but when it makes it difficult to just browse and read the forums, that's a problem. I would have the same complaints if we did what certain forums do and embed ads into key phrases.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Gotta agree, the site is starting to look really amateurish now, IMO. :down:

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

You post about 40 per week and I post about 120. So I want. $60.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

sometimes you can do things to make the forum look better, if you put a little bit of effort into it...if you can get what i mean...ok? think .. bold...

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

They were going to pay all the mods a salary, but they already had my info in the payroll department, so they just agreed to send all the money to me and I would disperse it amongst you guys. Strangely, though, I have yet to see a single paycheck from them. When I do, the other mods will be the first to know!

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

It's gone... I can't believe it's gone. Did they listen to us? :confused:

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

What's gone? The original subject of the thread was the Iron Weed logo...I still see that.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

I think the big-ass Inetvideo banner is gone at the top. :up:

The weeds one really just needs a new graphic. IB needs to give size requirements to their advertisers if they are going to continue this.

(Pilot solves all of those annoyances though)

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

I think the higher-ups weren't opposed to the gigantic Inetvideo banner ad. However, upon realizing how lame the sale was, felt as if they couldn't keep it up any longer.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

I haven't had any popups. The big ad at the top was really bad, but it looks like it's gone.

I don't recall no advertising being part of the premium membership, but it would be nice.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Sorry... I was referring to the big old banner.

Sadly, the IRON WEED thingy is still there. :(

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Yep. That wasn't included when we signed up, so there's no need to bitch about that.

However, if it won't be implemented as an option, then I definitely will not renew my premium membership. I was on the fence as it is since I only utilize the avatar feature, but I got the pop-ups yesterday and was a bit annoying. I think it'd be nice if the premium members could disable them in their control panel, though.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

They got rid of the big banner! Step One, COMPLETE.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Non-premium members who want to snipe at those who paid for premium membership should create and post in their own thread. It'll be useful to have a list of names of those who like mixing it up. Any problems with that, please PM me as here isn't the place for it.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Yes, but it's about quality, not quantity, kvrdave. I want $500....per week.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

That right there is a $10 post.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

So I wanted to take a few minutes and provide some feedback to all of these issues.
<---- the guy selling the ads

Netflix popunder - That should only be delivering to search traffic only - I'm looking into why any of you would ever see it. Please continue to post if you keep getting the popunder.

Ironweed - I've been waiting for the new logo for quite a while and will replace it promptly - I'll try and bring it down in the interrum,

INet Video - For the stores bigger sales we do these custom header takeovers a lot but almost always only to search traffic. Celebrating their sponsorship of DVD Bargains we wanted to give them something special (its running again tomorrow fyi) and Inet is going to be a great addition to our contests for all of you and they are all about giving you contests you have better chances to win - such as one we're doing in a few weeks for 100 DVD winners. I think you guys will be happy with some of the new giveaways and additional contest the site will have in the near future.

And please feel free to continue to let us know what you dont like and also what you WOULD like to add - we want to keep this community as strong as it always has been and respect your desires - afterall without you guys there wouldnt be a DVDTalk!

Feel free to contact me anytime with questions, feedback, hate mail [email protected]

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Thanks for the update, MVoss!

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Freudian slip I'm sure :)

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Yay MVoss! :banana:

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

It's cool when advertisers take the time to post and read the feedback. :up:

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Challenge: MVoss is a "New Member" but has a Top Hat!

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

To be fair, MVoss sits 12 feet away from me and he wears a top hat every single day. Fact!

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

:up:

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Sounds like MVoss is a sales rep for IB. But yeah, great to have input and wonderful to see IB continue to respond to feedback.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Idea for our next Premium Contest: Come up with an avatar for MVoss

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Thanks a lot MVoss!
