5dimes - pissed off

[Sherlock]

5dimes just came with revolutionary invention: there is no more providing the password for confirmations of payouts or talking to CS via emails. They came with PIN/second password instead! Incredible.

I'll miss sharing my 5Dimes password with the world whenever I wanted a payout or had to email or talk to them. I gave up telling the poor person I was dealing with that the password request 'in the name of security' was dropped by everyone else after 1996 in the name of security. Glad they have made it to 1999.

It took me half a minute to get the joke.

Is it just me or for everyone? The main banners like 468x60, 728x90 300x250 and so on do not work? Other exotic sizes seems to be ok.

Do people still use those sizes? do people even still use banners?

yes i do use banners
yes i use the standard sizes, because, they are... standard = something that is the same size everywhere so banner from one affiliate site does not **** up my design

Standard for 5dimes in the days of 800x600, most 1080p and over including mobile desktop etc, make it hard to read and touch.. The last set of banners i was using was 1000x200 for the header i think, I ditched most of them, especially the hosted ones.. many a time the wesbite load was being held up by the providers server.

I think bookmaker is still using old tech, betonline have modernized some things however the new bookies do have some cool widgets to play with, btw the old 5dimes widget was great at converting,.. shame they ditched it.

[Sherlock]

well, i think everybody knows, how obsolete are things at 5 dimes and generally in ad industry; still if you look at the common denominator of banner sizes, it is those that I quoted

bovada, as biggest US bookie has the same ones, just for example

my question was if the banners work for you, e.g. if they load right now, because for me those standard sizes are off, some weird sizes at 5 dimes like 20x35 are loading ok

i think i wrote it wrong, my question was purely technical, not about conversions from the banners, cheers

I just got email from Vietbet to promote them to the email I use at 5dimes. It is a 5dimes spinoff, but I am not sure they got the email through the official way. I hope so.
