To all members

We have a temporary Catchdrop Banner as we experiment with some new LIVE features.

The banner is there to test placement and will change several times this weekend as we test code functionality.
You might get an occasional error as we run some tests but refreshing the screen should fix them in most cases.

Please report any issues here.

Right now it's left aligned. Can it be centered?

It's just a test banner until I put up the real one.

Here is our interactive banner at Catchdrop.ca

The Catchrop banner here will have a live auction feed as soon as the developers finish with the code.

It's a great exchange which should benefit both sites.

I’m quite impressed. It loaded perfectly for me on Mobile. It was the first thing I saw when I opened up dn.ca. Awesome job Frank.

The hard part is yet to come, now it has to operate smoothly with code added to it.

I think the Catch Drop banner looks 'catchy', and I like the color. It doesn't scream out AD!!

It is now properly placed centered to the forum text not the site.

I hope you like it

There will be the occasional error today as I work on integrating the catch drop LIVE banner code with the Xenforo software.

If you get an error just wait a minute and refresh your screen, I usually catch the errors right away.

The banner is now live

@CatchDrop did all the heavy lifting on the banner but I had to figure out how to integrate the code with Xenforo.

I basically sandboxed the code so I am prepared for other interactive banners moving forward.
