Is this annoying?
I've recently put in a new guest welcome message on TalkUSB (see sig) - is it ok or too overpowering?

Sort of...

You'd be better off with a smaller message at the top of the page, imo.

Check out adminfusion welcome message if it is still like it was. I would myself really get rid of that red one you have or at least make it smaller !

Anoyance is a big turn off for me, nothing worse then getting frustrated with pop ups, flashing ad's, guest messages that get in the way etc.

Ok checked he message out, it looks distracting to the eye. Firstly, It would be better of beeing aligned with the forum index. Second, make it blend in with the forum and place it up the top just under the 'Talk USB Forum Index' link. then the message would be noticed and not anoy anyone at the saem time.

Ok, I just saw it on another site and thought I'd try it out with the whole slidey-up thing. I'll probably do something a bit less out there - thanks for the comments

I think it looks OK. But, perhaps you need to add 3-4px worth of padding around the text to take it away from the border of the box? Makes it easier to read?

Try to make it a little smaller and a little wider, preferably with a nicer design (round corners and the such).
