what happened to the ads that usually appeared on the left ? I apologize in advance if this was mentioned somewhere else on the site.
There gone ! now if the white banner with the potential members would only fade away, for some reason it make my monitor hum
We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please stand by. 
is blue any better @basement_shaman?
the blue is better but it’s still very dominant on the page.
What about a light grey? Kinda like the chat boxes within each thread. Just a thought
could it be arranged so that it only shows to those not signed in? i know many forums do similar with ads. i didnt like it matching the boxes in threads or white, confused the hell out of me. i think the blue differentiates enough, but the blue/light grey on blue doesnt really stand out much.
Xander could you find something that makes basement_shaman’s monitor sing?
@Firestarter0: Don’t have the option to have things only show up for those not signed in. I have changed it to black background and white text, to me this is the most pleasing on the eyes. We have to have something up for applicants, the mods don’t have the time to weed through 500+ spammers a day.
Much better!!! 
Yes much better now. Clear but not intrusive or distracting.
