Burningbaal Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hello all, In an effort to bring a little more value to our sponsors, Chief has (kindly) set up a rotating banner ad system to show the sponsor's banner in a random/rotating type fashion. currently, it only shows up on the main forum page (click 'forum' in the top left corner). I'm unsure if this can be expanded to include other sites. If you find the banner irritating, obtrusive or otherwise detrimental, please either post in this thread or message me (or any other officer/board member). If you have a reason to think that the site is running slower (only if it changed with this implementation about the 11th of this month), please message Chief. If you have further recommendations or thoughts, please post them here or message me. Because I don't have all the sponsor's email address, nor time to type out every sponsor's handle for a mass-PM right now, a message to our sponsors: Let current/new sponsors know that the banner needs to be 468x60 pixels.

Jeramy Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 If we could work it into the home page it may get more exposure =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islandoftiki Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hmmm. I've never even noticed it until you mentioned it. I guess it isn't too obtrusive. Plus, it's sponsors that would be selling things that we might want, and not just random ads. Works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works for me.[/quote'] that was the idea, it's only people that are our actual sponsors, so not only are the going to be captive-marine-related, but also have some investment in the club because they are sponsors who are at least semi-actively participating. at the very least, they're contributing the annual sponsor's membership fee (usually in goods/services donations), most of them are far more generous and far more involved than that!

Derbird Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Its not too bad. If we could keep it on the forum and home pages it would be better. On other sites having the flashing colors on the posts while you are trying to read them is rather anoying. I like that we don't have it on this site. Just my opinion though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islandoftiki Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 What if we just add flashing banner ads to everyone signature? I know Thomas would approve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion though Good thoughts, I don't think we have plans to have it flashing at you on threads, at most I would think the control panel and on sub-forum lists, but probably not on threads. I, for one, would at least hope we could make it static if it was on threads (so it just loaded one still image when the page loaded, and changed when you went to a new page).

Chief Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Banners should now be on top of all pages now. This is a Flash Mod, so unless you have flash installed, you will not see it. Thanks, Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
