Thanks for the feedback @PhilT. In an ideal situation we’d allow for maximum customisation so that people could hide or remove the banner if they chose, so this could be something for future consideration.
Based on our site analytics, the large majority of visitors to the forum are coming organically via Google. Our thinking was to improve the experience for incoming readers and to make the connection a bit more obvious. It’s a credit to the high-quality discussions that often happen here in the Community that we are attracting this type of interest. However, we also want solutions that make sure the forum is comfortable and easy to operate, especially for those using it regularly.
We appreciate the ongoing feedback for those reading this thread, so pleasel continue to share your thoughts - whether you love the format, hate it or are indifferent.
