The header will look right when your browser has downloaded the latest images. If you clear your browsers cache, it will update immediately.

The changes to the banners was so we could support the latest IAB standards. More advertisers are using the wide landscape and skyscrapers banners so we decided to change with the times.

I personally love it... There's so much potential for cool banners in there, and I think it will consolidate the advertising message into more focused places.

There's a lot more opportunity for well-designed banners in there, no?

Oh yeah, these are also conforming to the IAB standard, which is the standard for advertising on the internet these days. We figured it was time to move into the here and now of the internet...

Yeah for sure thats the plan. This is just phase 1 as Chris outlined... there's going to be lots of upgrades to the content areas and lots of other parts of the site.

alright sounds good, i am already getting used to it, but after spending so many hours on this site every day i was taken aback. i think when the whole site gets bigger the adds will be much more tolerable.

I'll ask this question again in this thread:

Is it the banner spot, or the banner that you don't like? What do you think of the Whistler/blackcomb one?

i like the placement of the banners, just not the obnoxious flashing logo's, it's distracting.
