Opening many posts now you are drawn to the fact that some people have obviously donated to become a site sponsor.
To my mind it is really in your face and may have the opposite effect of what is trying to be achieved.
Obviously it is in the owners best interest to gain sponsorhip but i feel that the symbol could be a tad more discreet.
Instead of reading the post i am now directed to see who has and who has not donated.
Once everyone has donated, or figures out how to, then i can only think that the page displayed on the screen will have these rather large banners detracting from the actual post and the forum itself.
I am obviously open to opinion and ridicule so please feel free.
