The football ads were already there before the forum software upgrade.

I think this provides some insight into the way that the brain works.

I found the ClearSky ad incredibly irritating at first when the new site was launched despite the advert being exactly the same as it was before.

We were all so used to the old layout that we were all probably tuning out all the extraneous noise and only focussing on what we were interested in, in the same way as parents seem to be able to completely tune out the sound of their children making horrendous amounts of noise.

With the new layout we had to go through the process of re-learning what was relevant and what was noise which is why the ad became annoying.

I can tune it out now and it doesn't bother me any more.

You forgot the footballs, omg the footballs.

Clearsky may you suffer a thousand vat enquiries!!!!

I find it quite fascinating that, although Churchill had started a thread complaining about them eight days before the forum software was upgraded, people still seem to think that they arrived at the same time. The ads had already been here for some time before he started that thread. Admin could probably provide the exact date. I know they'd been annoying the hell out of me for yonks.

(They were also in the same positions to within an insignificant number of pixels vertically and horizontally.)

Nick had been benched so long, Admin took pity and asked him to redesign the site.

He gathered his requirements in the drug dens of Marrakesh and then wrote the code in a week from the coffee bars of Amsterdam.

Nuff said.

Did you used to work with him then ?

[MarillionFan]

I didn't redesign the site, vBulletin redesigned their product. All I've done is modify their standard theme, and write some plugin code.

Oh, and make it work considerably better in IE6 and 7 than vBulletin's own forums do.

I note you didn't deny the coffee bars though!

It's wierd and odd...however I'm posting all this from my iPhone, which I've never been able to do before. The old site was awful over mobile technology.

That said... FEAR CHANGE!!!!

[NickFitz]

I like change, but I don't like this one, how is this better exactly ???? Or was this all covered in threads months ago which I can't be bothered searching for becaus I'm halfway in to my 1st bottle of wine as ths Missus is out on a gig night in the pub..

Here are some of the reasons for the upgrade.

[NickFitz]

Should have gone to specsavers.

Why don't you go and whine about the BBC's redesign for a while and give us all a break?

Just for you, I'm going to implement a theme in black and white using only 13px Courier, so it looks like Notepad, just as you asked. Then the theme chooser will be enabled for everybody except you - you'll be stuck with it

I suppose it can at least be said that you're consistent:

He is consistently saying he's never coming back (and then always comes back) :-)

Ah I've missed this place :-)
