Petition to save our eyes!
Moderators please find below the list of QLer's who are experiencing severe eye problems, migraines and general displeasure with these God awful Q-Tel ads!
We know they're paying you, but can you tell them they aren't attracting anyone with this! Seriously if it doesn't go away by the end of the week I'm switching my service to Vodaphone for spite.
Who's with me???!!!!!
[Admin Note: Ok, guys got the message on the background. Qtel have listened and have removed it]
thanks to you Olive who took the initiative and started this petition.... :)
that's nice and congrats to us ;)
and don't forget the "CTRL" "+" and "CTRL" "-".
might help from time to time ;)
THANK YOU QL!!!!! See guys, we can make a difference! :D I will continue being a Q-Tel customer now. :)
the ads are still there, but at least the whole page going pink is gone.. thanks for that.. :)
Great going people - Qtel: you are keeping your eyes and ears open. QL: we appreciate this and we DO want you to make money - but next time don't sell the skin of our beloved site ok? At least not for such a blinding pink!
... didn't want to lose anymore customers ;)
well done peeps ...
poof!!! i made it go away!!
Wow, our voice did make a difference.
Thanks Mod.
Now to the next petition....
You guys did it at last.
Admins removed the Pinkish background,
Now Quick ask the admin to come up with a black background. or a ski with clouds with thunder strikes
Impressive :o)

why does everyone hate the pink?> is it just the color thats annoying or wat? if it were in some other color wud you guys have said the same thing? i like pink but yea i guess its a bit too much here :s
I received Qtel's Fuschia envelope
really i feel some pain in my eyes from that color. i already switched to vofadone
by the way : i have been calling 111 for 2 days and no body is answering !poor customer service for Q tel (their aim is to be among the top by 2020!:D:D:D)

I wanted to post a new thread last night. But, I got discouraged by the awful color :(
Simple, my Fried.
If Qtel try to target us as potential customers then based on the responses we all see ( others, please voice your opinion as well positive as well as negative) it is definitely going the other way.
They should listen and change the ads. Perhaps with a banner (using more palatable colors and milder animation) saying QTel support QL. I strongly believe that it will give them more business from us in the long run.
Otherwise, we can all excercise our right by protesting with our wallet.
Boycott Pink.....
QL is a family site and it needs to have all these colors to attract kids. It is also a revenue earner for QL. So if it is removed, how will QL exist and the kids will get bored.

We know QL needs to make money but who will pay for eye surgery for us?! No seriously I'm not going to stop surfing QL but I can no longer be online if I have a headache - that's all!

Yes, indeed the QL website has become heavy / loaded and takes more time to open.
Plus, my eyes are soar too.
Don't know whether it is my computer and/or my (compound) Qtel wireless network but since they have this pinky ads, it just take longer to access and refresh QL pages.
In any case I support the boycott of Qtel unless they remove the ad or change it to something more palatable.

If you close your eyes and relax, you can still see the pinkish bubbles floating in front of your eyes..
It brings on a migraine every time I open QL... There it goes again....

"CTRL" "-" to revert back.

so I wonder when our petition will be approved... please change the pink skin back to the original, it's irritating when my internet slows down and i get stuck with a whole pink screen in front of me... :(
... and now I can actually read the posts properly too! :)))
I like that!
OK, if this will help you guys....
press:
"CTRL" "+" maybe twice...

I'm in.. I think I'm going cross-eyed. Call me Clarence from now on ..
They've achieved what they wanted to...everyone is talking about it.
*****If you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all*****
... on both sides of the screen soon! That should help!
I WILL NOT BUY ANY QTEL PROMO!! PERIOD!!
am i counted already??
brit,
I believe Olive was not referring to the color per se, but to its effects on this particular website, on the eyes.
Not only QL flooded the site with the QTel adds but also wrapped QL with the add's skin - the color is indeed damaging for eyes!
QTel has a loooooooooooooong way to go before approaching Vodafone's professionalism.
I have blocked out all the ads and its still irritating, just pink and pink and more pink...
lol more like "infuriated" and "irritated" :P
My migraines been awakened. It reminds me of Japanese cartoons that give kids epileptic fits.
So, the advertising has had its desired affect. Your senses have been awakened...
so brit, are you with us or not? :P
... is doing my head in!!!
Pink of all colours... just great!
I can deal with it on the roads. Not in technicolour on my computer screen!
Sadly, Vodafone uses a similar colour scheme. Have you seen their cars on the road ?
lol Olive that was really quick...
AYE! MJ
