FRONT PAGE

Lee, long time ago in a previous version of the software I seem to remember that until you made a certain number of posts 'Google' adverts appeared between posts on a thread. Could you do something like that with the sponsor ads??
Personally I like the new format as I only ever go to the home page to check exchange rate or weather. The page itself loads considerably quicker for me...

Hi Lee
I voted ' No' only cause as I've got olde any change gets more difficult. I'm sure you've put a lot of hard work into the new layout and I'm sure I'll like it when I've got round the new navigations
Thanks

Hi lee, i voted earlier from my own point of view but i think a lot of your replies are thinking from your sponsors support and advertising, at the end of the day um is a very informative site to be associated with but i think you may have just pushed your advertees slightly off screen(not a negative opinion,please dont take as such).A little more on your sponsors?advertisers? in the first instance, would probably be all that is needed ....johnty.

Just a thought: Perhaps add a column to the left or right of the forum posts with a small random ad (?). I do not think posters would mind, and it would give a lot more exposure to the advertisers. I am guilty of having bookmarked the forum - skipping the home page altogether. Maybe it would "spice up" the current dull look of the threads - maybe it would make them too "busy". Worth a test drive, IMHO.

The old front page was easy to find the realestate companies, they were all in one place. Now only see 2 from the old page. Maybe I just need directions. Could someone help , I like to keep up on homes forsale.
