Geez David that's mighty flattering of you. You'll make a grown man 
blush with that kinda talk old chap =)

I'm sorry if I've missed the boat or if better ideas were discussed, 
I've a mountain of Email to conquer, I just wanted to respond quickly.

I've uploaded another idea here;

While I'd agree that the current banner is clear, I think it is 
important to create a /pleasant/ atmosphere around the progress-meter 
(which the blue will do nicely, and red, for me at least, is creating 
uneasiness and certainly not a positive association), not a sense of 
panicked-urgency even /if/ that is the case. I also think it shouldn't 
be contained in a conventional box/banner because people have become 
immune to top-banner ads, there is a greater chance they will ignore it 
if it looks like an advertisement.

Oh and I should mention, the current banner breaks the page formatting 
on my computer. See capture;

(I'm in the unfortunate position of using an old windows XP machine / 
resolution 1280x800 / Firefox3.6.13, but I imagine there's plenty of 
people in this ruddy old boat)

Again, disregard this if it's too late. Sorry I couldn't help earlier. 
Time, she is always running out on me.

PS. When it is pertinent, I'd like to raise the matter of "streamlining" 
the chat/facebook/extensions links on the homepage.
They look scruffy and make the page busy, I'm sure there's a way of 
reducing the visual clutter. Let me know if anyone is interested in this 
as well.
