Parallax people - I want to press your buttons...

Parallax Guys
Forum posts often refer to stuff on the Parallax site yet you have no button on the forum page to launch your Parallax main site. ·The forum may be for customer support but it’s also a very good marketing tool. “Want some of the cool stuff we’re discussing, just click the button to launch Parallax.com”.
Just a thought, use it, don’t use it…

John,

In fact the forums are used quite often to refer to Parallax products. This is often done very discretely so that our members who come here for support and to discuss projects don’t have to be faced with advertisements. We value the customer first over additional marketing to those who are already using our products. Members of the forums have expressed a dislike for advertisements within the forums and we go to great lengths to remove these. We have a special forum for announcing new products or contests (Parallax only). Please see the following link. Take care.

Actually, the Parallax logo in the upper left corner of each and every forum page is a button to the Parallax home page.

I have the Parallax forum on my link toolbar, if I want to go to parallax.com I click the forum link, and then click on the logo. one less link button. very convenient.

Thanks for telling about the link. I always assumed that it led to the URL shown, and so never bothered to click on it. That'll teach me to assume...
