Wow, back to normal.

 

I still saw a Google AD in the for sale section! Hopefully its pulled soon as well!

 

fixed.

 

Not quite... try fixing the text Nevermind, it is easier for me to do it

 

Thank you Brains and people at IB who put it back. I think we'd all like to keep it this way. Is there still a plan to incorporate those ads? Just curious.

 

thank you Brains and the other people who worked hard on fixing it back. glad to see that this was resolved quickly and that members voices were heard strongly.

 

nooooooooooooo

 

I told them all to go home -- they've been in the office the whole time, and they have not even had dinner. We'll continue in the morning

 

Much appreciated brains. Thanks goes out to the IB people who helped set it right too

 

gnarly

 

Brains.... good job to you and those involved tonight.

This was before (again):






Here is how it looks now on my end. I would have capped Firefox but it looks the same as the legacy version of Mozilla I am on. The side ads show up, but the banner area is still unpopulated:

 

kudos for brains for working stuff out and getting a resolution for now...hopefully they wont bring the google ads back...thanks brains and those that helped you...im sure all the sponsors are happy

 

No google at all? I'm not opposed to some small google adding to make their money as long as they're not impeeding on sponsor space. There seems to be a lot of extra space on the page anyway.

Either way i'm happy it's back to the way it was.

 

wow, i just got home from work (2nd shift welder)....this was total chaos and pandemonium before i went to work, now i just got done sifting through the last ~15 pages after i logged on and saw things "normal" again...

i'd definately like to thank everyone for standing up and whipping *** at 'tech and IB. this site means a lot to a lot of people, i'd hate to see it go down. i hope everything works out for all parties involved and that the sponsors don't abandon us.

 

It should always be about the people, for the people. This is not.

 

as long as they dont get rid of sponsor space, but im looking at a big banner add on top for some new car test drive thing...... When will it end???

 

Yeah, I just noticed a "CarsDirect" banner on the right mixed in with the sponsors.

 

Who hoo Sponsers are back! Nice work Brains and Company!!!

 

Jeez, this thread got long, quick.

I'm glad Tech is back to how it was, for the moment, and hope that the future changes involve more communication. Change isn't always bad, but when coupled with miscommunication (or lack of any communication..), it's never good. Maybe there could be a section with the problems of the old site, so members can try to help (to an extent), making the new site function better, but remain for the people by the people.

It's a relief to see that my favorite site values it's members and their opinions. Even with an American corporation behind it. Hell yeah.


BTW, no offense to the people at IB that are working to fix everything. Just the greedy capitalists behind the google ads...

 

Whew, I feel like I woke up from a bad dream. Almost back to normal.
