In a word: yuck
First, it encourages cheating even more, because now anything less than the #1 spot is harder to see. Second, it just plain looks bad imho. Third, it dramatically devalues the ads that other people have paid for. As both an advertiser and a mud administrator, I sincerely hope you will remove that banner between the #1 and #2 spots, and return it to its former spot between #10 and #11. |
I can't agree more, though I have a couple other poitns to make.
First, when I logged on and took a look at the list just now, I didn't even SEE the number one ad. I saw the banner ad and, like on virtually every other banner-ad driven site on the Web, assumed that the list started just below it. It took me a few moments to realize that the first entry was even there. Second, speaking as a web designer, the change simply makes this a worse site for the average web surfer. The asymmetry is annoying and just plain looks bad, but that's a minor concern. The bigger concern is now there are 19 entries in a single block, and that sort of thing is just filtered out by the average user. No one wants to look at a big block of info. They go to the smaller, easier read sections instead, or just stop after the first few entries. So, the re-placement of the banner ad immediately made me think that you're doing a disservice to both your number one vote-getter and perhaps everyone from about seven on down. I'm sure I'm not the only one who missed some things just because of the layout. I do hope that you take this into consideration and change it back to the way it was. |
I'm just testing this arrangement to see how it goes. If the majority don't like it, I'll certainly change it back the way it was. I urge everyone to please post their opinions about this in this thread.

I think I like the old way better too.

Three words: Annoying and ugly.

I like the old way. I fear change. Change is evil.
