The old ad banners were inadequate (omg a subtle pun!).
We're looking into alternatives.
That's there in the meantime.
Personally, I find the pages loading an awful lot faster now.
:D

Now please change the surrounding code so that it looks so nice like it used to in UBB5 and UBB6. Due to the kaputt code with the tables and stuff the images tumble over each other and I get different looks in different browsers:

They're not paying you enough, Daxim. ;)

You might want to work on your skillz a bit, Daxim.

Of course you do. Purely rhetorical question. Observe how I wave my hands into the general direction of my carefully placed caveat:
Quote:
consistent across <em>modern</em> browsers
It is certain that if you upgrade your compiled security risk to its most modern incarnation it will still be a security risk. Oh, and that bug where the height of an element is unrightfully tied to its font-size will be fixed, too.
Taking the cheap way out? No consideration for other users? <tt>What you say <i>!!</i></tt> Okay, so to show that I am indeed most skillzful, replace the four lines with
Code:
<div style="background-color: #004; height: 1px; font-size: 1px;"></div>
as a workaround. Also eliminate the linebreak between the end of the second image element (line 8) and the closing containing div (line 9) to make that small horizontal gap below the images disappear ((
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/appendix/notes.html#notes-line-breaks) aberrant behaviour courtesy of <em>that</em> browser again).
