<p>The new format where the sponsor banner takes half of the screen is horrible user interface design. Half the screen is virtually empty and all of the text is crammed into the other half.</p>
<p>Is this just for a 4th of July event or what?</p>
<p>let’s hope it goes away, ugh.</p>
<p>agreed - terrible - send notes to site by clicking on “contact us” at bottom of screen -</p>
<p>I reported it to the mods, and posted on the thread running on parents forum. Being a holiday , I don’t know if any of the paid folk will be around.</p>
<p>Takes up more than half the screen on mine (I’m on a laptop with a 12-inch display). I’m sure that whoever tested this had a large screen.</p>
<p>When I led a development group, we always had the rule of NOT releasing something new just before a weekend - especially a holiday weekend.</p>
<p>We are painfully aware of the problem and share your frustration. Alas, it is a glitch and it can only be fixed by College Confidential’s technical staff. It seems that an ad destined for the top of the board was misderected and is now stuck on the left design. It is not by design and is obviously not permanent. The placement of ads on CC is supposed to remain as unobstrusive and pleasing as possible. </p>

<p>Thank you!
The problem is fixed :)</p>
<p>Thank you, thank you, mods and technical staff! Have a good 4th.</p>
<p>Even on July 4th, your Mod staff is on guard and we roused the technical crew (heh) from a barbecue. Wait, that’s supposed to be the Air Force that’s on guard. Never mind.</p>
<p>Everyone enjoy their barbecues and fireworks. And may all the fireworks be in the skies.</p>

<p>Thank you oh wise Obiwan. We can all get our CC fix of the day now in peace on Independence Day. we are not high maintenance we are not high maintenance</p>
<p>
LOL, gotta get that CC “buzz” every day. Some of the natives got a bit testy today on half rations.</p>
