sonofsammo Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Has AFUK got a deal with SWAS? Great news if it's true - but seeing that banner on every page is somewhat grating - because it looks horrendous! It's mainly because the two SWAS logos are out of line. Instead, would it be possible to have one of them, in the middle - and alternate them on different pages. So on one page, have the SWAS banner for the sales site and on another have the banner for the airsoft sites. But as it is, it does not look good at all. And if there isn't some kind of deal, maybe have it up on the splash page, but not all over the site? For the moment, I've reactivated my ad blocker for AFUK 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skintrade Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Personally (from a usability pov) I don't find it that intrusive, now if it had been a interstitial or pop up, that would detract from the ease of use (especially on mobile). I can see why the alignment is off on the main logos, it's 2 separate banners. I don't use adblock myself, however on a site like this I don't think Charles/SWAS is paying for impressions but for a time period, so it would have no impact.
