The one on the index page has an animation frame that looks like thumbs.
I wonder why some sponsors have gone to using so many of those types of banners

All they need to do is make them look like not thumbs, lol.. like a thick border around all of them, or a click here across them or something. I mean heck, nobody is going to sit here and look at the pics in a banner anyway, so why waste jpeg style images in a gif banner? Ah well.. these are the questions of our time, lol.
