    Yeah there should be a rectangular advertising banner on the top right of the page. The advert will change each time you refresh the page.

    Thanks melvis, looks like I'm doing the right thing then. I've refreshed loads of times but nothing appearing yet :-)

    i was begining to think it was an urban myth lol

    thanks

    I had started thinking so too tbh. It feels strange actually seeing a pinecone banner. I think I may go lay down for a while! I clicked on the link and the banner is there for sure. I am already a member so shall not be signing up again but for those trying the banner is still most definitely live so good luck :)

    Thanks OP!;)

    Just a tip to find the banners - it worked for me in under a week. I did a google search for pinecone and then signed up for a google alert, ticking all the boxes on the options, and asked for instant email notification. After a few results that were threads of this kind, I found a banner and signed up. Hey presto!
