Annoyance with WC home page
Wednesday, November 26, 2008 by 2of3 | Discussion: WinCustomize Site Issues
I have wincustomeize as my homepage, but I may change that.
Recently when I open my browser (FF3), the url https://www.wincustomize.com/ gets redirected to https://www.wincustomize.com/index_odntad.asp. This is a page which has a huge ad for ObjectDesktop 2009. I have to then scroll down to a link to continue to the WC homepage.
To make matters worse, at the top of the ad is what looks like the WC header with the nav bar (Home, Gallery, Articles, Forums, etc.) These aren't clickable links, so why are they there? It didn't take me long to find out how to continue to Wincustomize, but how about the new guy who stumbles apon this site through a Google search. It may be confusing.
Is this going to be a permanent "feature" or is it a temporary thing to promote the launch of OD 2009?
Now, many of you might never see this page because your browser keeps you logged in. But I have Firefox set up to delete cookies and clear cache when I close the browser.
I find the ad really annoying and I hope the WC admins. reconsider this approach.

It's only temporary and secondly it does store a cookie so it doesn't keep coming up.
After the Thanksgiving break it's going away.
