Rainbow Ads?

I was browsing through this forum, and I clicked a link and the Ads were multi-colored across the bottom where the blue normally is. Has anyone else seen this? I was browsing the forums rather quickly, so I clicked another link before I noticed the ads, I saw them and then the page loaded again and they were normal.

It was very odd.


EDIT- Sorry if you know about this. I have been fairly active here for the last 3 weeks, and I have never seen a topic about it.

Ya, I have noticed this before too. DuffMan is testing out the different kinds of ads. :P

Well, just so he knows....I'm not fond of the rainbow/multi-colored ones. They will clash against any forum. :P


So if they are testing they just happen to change colors when they are being tested?

I had pretty much the same opinion.
They won't clash with every forum, and they might actually look good in some, but I think they will clash with quite a few, if not most.

I started a topic about this in the staff forum on the 6th. B)

Here's some screenies:

The second set isn't actually that bad, it's just colored borders.

Yeah, the first one is definitely the most hideous.

Indeed, it is the one I saw. The last two aren't half as bad. Although...I don't like any of them, it will look strange on any skin except a multi-colored skin in my opinion.

The second set is the best out of the three. The first is indeed hideous, and the third is just plain idiotic. The second is the ones we currently have, except a little less boring and a little more color.

Still, as I pointed out in the staff forum, imagine them appearing on your death metal band fan forum, etc. >_<

Yup, wouldn't match in the least. I am 100% for the blue, not light, not dark, perfect. :) Just like the default InvisionFree skin. Blue is the best general color. The multi-colored ads wouldn't match many skins at all, how many skins are centered on 4 completely different colors? Most skins are made around 1 or 2 colors, not 4. I like them how they are, they are fine large and blue for me. :yes:


EDIT- Duffman if you aren't chaning the ads then what's going on? Is there a bug with them or something? :blink:

There's also one that looks like normal except has green text as well as the blue and black.
Not quite so bad, but still definitely a step in the wrong direction down the road to obnoxiousness.

It seems they're ignoring their color theme model.

Has anyone noticed these new styles on forums not using the blue color theme we have here?
I'd be curious to see if it's just variations on a single color theme or if all of them are affected.
Rainbow on the black and grey theme would look truly stupid.

It's not rainbow. I noticed this. It's the colors of Google in order, blue, red, yellow, and green. Well, its almost in order but you don't want to repeat the same color, blue. Compare with the Google in color, also new, at the bottom right corner. Also compare with the image I included.

This makes every member know that those are google ads. Knowing this, I like them a little better, I don't know why but I do.
I'm guessing google is representing themselves in the ads more now. :D
