Can we leave it the way it is?

What does that mean - purchasing the full version?

We like the banners, but we understand that for those that have slower dial-up service (like us) it can be annoying. So I believe that the response to the poll will only tell who has dial-up versus broadband connnections or those who spent money on having a banner made (we made our own) versus those who did not.

Bottom line - leave it alone, as Scot suggested.

I believe the banners being referred to in the weekly poll are the flashing and sometimes non-flashing advertisements that are included in the window when you see the results. I read the question to be we can get rid of the banners (adds) in the pole results if we buy the full version of the polling software. I don’t think we’re talking about the banners on the discussion pages. And to leave it alone would be to vote no.

Not trying to step on anyone toes. Feel free to chime in if I mis-clarified.

ProwlerOnline polls are free, but include the banner ads on the results page. Sparklit's Gold Service costs $14.95 per month for the first poll and $5 for each additional poll -- so about $30 per month for 4 weekly polls. In addition to no banner ads, you get some additional control over the polls and results.

I host a not-for-profit special registry for Final Edition Vipers and have avoided any advertising. In the case of our poll, I chose to use Sparklit's free service and accept the banner ads on the results page. I expect our users to understand this is not advertising benefiting our site.

Since I use free AdSubtract filtering software (recommended), I usually don't see the banner ads on that site or Prowleronline.com.

Hope this helps.

Tha banners are a minor distraction that can easily be overlooked.
However if more control over the polls and other features are helpful to you Mike, then the money is well spent.
