Default Sponsor List Suggestion - go two wide

On the right side of the page - where the long list of sponsors are- I think you could double them up - put them side by side two wide instead of a single. With a little tweaking of the page size I think you could fit them in there.

The benefits would be numerous including bandwidth benefits, but I think the best benefit would be you don't have to scroll down all the way to the bottom of the (very) long page. By doing this you also give the sponsors more eye time, you are not going to see the ones at the bottom of the list.


Go two wide on the sponsor list - try it see how sponsors and Ls1tech's like it.

I agree, the current sponsor list is way too long for one column.

i'll have to agree, it's a pain haing to scroll all the way down the list if i'm looking for a perticular sponsor.

you don't have to, there is an alphabetic list at the top of the column that takes you to all sponsors sorted.

That button should just be text, it looks like another ad.

+2 for two columns if it is possible.

i'd prefer to see it on a separate tab/menu. i hate waiting for the graphics to load each page change. plus sometimes it screws up the display width of the posts in mozilla.

why not make a tab by the quick links spot so there on another page this will also help on getting the page to load faster

^ it's probably pretty important, money-wise, to have the sponsors listed on the front page of the site...

maybe a shorter rotating sponsor list would be a good idea, especially for the mobile version (if it goes through)?

well - many other car forums i am a member of seem to get by!! i ignore the graphics anyway. easier to hit the alphabetic list icon and find the one i want. even better, i have my main vendors in my favorites list!!

Only problem there is that the alphabetical list is missing a few sponsors, at least it was the last time I used it.
