IMO, there's nothing wrong with the bar. It's perfectly unobtrusive and completely professional. Using that bar to tie in all the INET properties, is a great idea. Just don't take to heart some of the lesser informed comments.• WLVPN.com • NetProtect owned White Label VPN provider •

If you had a network of related sites that you invested a small fortune in you would do the same thing. You can't ever miss a reasonable opportunity at promotion on the web and of all people web hosts should know that. Enjoy your free forum and stop complaining.• WLVPN.com • NetProtect owned White Label VPN provider •

It took this thread for me to notice it. But, I may have noticed it some day.
Now, once I know it's there, I can use it when I need to.There is no best host. There is only the host that's best for you.

I agree that it's definitely practical. Saves me from those hard keystrokes or actually moving the mouse and risking fatigue to my wrist.

Conspiracy....
It was a plot....they paid the naysayers to come post here so we would all be sure to see the new toolbar.....
This is a bit like starting a crusade against a tv show or a movie....whereas it might have not been successful, the crusade guarantees publicity and everyone has to go see it to see what all the fuss was about.
As they say, I don't care what you say in the paper about me, just spell my name correctly.
I just love the irony that those who don't like it have insured all of us looking at it...even those who wouldn't have noticed.

My first thought when I saw it was "Ugh! this is horrible" but that was just my rebelious buck the man nature reacting!
In all honesty, I think it looks fine, it doesn't ruin the look of the site or anything and realistically, If I was running Inet, I'd be doing the same thing.
So no complaints from me!

If you guys think this is bad, you would have hated the skin pre-Ravio. You would be suffering from a 500 pixel tall text/image advertisement before getting to read content.
As for the colors, the silver looks perfect to me. The only colors in it are the yellow and blue. But then look at the rotating banner. Those colors/animations don't bother me a tad.
Of course, I'm speaking for Safari (Mac browser), so maybe this Spyware look-a-like theory holds some truth.

I think you are all weird...
Like a few others, I hardly noticed it, until I read the first post in this thread, and my brain started working...

I didn't particulary like it either at first, but in reading this 6 page thread, I've not noticed it once.
I'm not really bothered about it anymore.

Would prefer it not to be there, but it doesn't really bother me, however if i had a banner running at the top, i think i'd have a different view, it does divert the eye a little.

I, like you, can't believe....well I can believe, just don't want to....the hullabaloo over a small bar at the top of the page. I tend to immediately upon opening the page, roll my cursor down one roll, so I might never have seen it. You should think all those who are overreacting-they are insuring it is noticed.

I very much doubt the toolbar will be changing looks.. The bar is supposed to provide a uniform look for all the iNet properties, so visitors can easily distinguish what they own...
I don't see people compaining constantly about sites like GameSpyLast edited by Mat Sumpter; 01-13-2004 at 11:14 AM.

They could do something cleverish and make it so if you click the grey bit on the left with the three circles in, the bar minimizes and add's a bit of info to your cookie so you don't see it anymore.
That way the people who keep complaining could just 'minimize' it and won't see it again, whereas visitors and people who couldn't care less will still beable to see it.
Personally, I'm not bothered

Looks fine to me. Dont see how people can have such an opinion over such a small thing.

Noticed it, IMO it looks fine. I don't feel its presence to be much of an issue if I'm honest. For some who don't like it they'll most likely soon mentally block it out, for some it might well serve as a useful link to some other good forums. Nothing in life can please everybody.

At the end of the day, they paid the $$$ to buy this site, and they are, IMO, rightfully entitled to advertise themselves on it. It's not like they have made a bunch of popup ads or anything overly intrusive, but instead a relatively discreet bar at the top that isn't too flashy or imposing. I just don't see the issue.★ Jo Stonehouse - Kualo ❘ www.kualo.com

I'd cahnge it to blue to make it blend, then it would look nicer, but I don't have a problem with it. I like the fact that I can visit other sites in the network and accomadate myself to those forums or sites to. Good Idea. Bad Colors.
