I love how the "Web Electric" banner is still showing upside down.

Harald, while this topic has been around since last week, the fact that it hasnt been resolved makes it still current news.

I thought we talked about you, and being a PRODUCTIVE CONTRIBUTING member of the forums???

I was contributing. Clearly the thread author failed to see the original thread, and I though I'd assist by supplying the URL of the original thread as a source of more information.

This is a brilliant marketing strategy. Displaying the banner upside down draws the users attention. Once their attention is drawn to the banner, they are interested in what it says. Once they are interested in what it says they are forced to read it slower since it is upside down thus remembering exactly who/what the advertisement is for. I wouldnt be surprised if Web Electric requested this.....it got me to click on it.
