Also, having the User CP <and ads> on the right of every page crowds it a bit, in my humble opinion. For example, reading someone's profile page, it feels like there's too much crammed in that page.

Steve did say. .. somewhere. . . that the new photo is just a placeholder. He had earlier announced a competition for a new photo/montage that would completely fill the top banner.
And having the CP/ads on the right is no different from the old style that had links down the left side. . . as I understand it, it's a substitute for the old "rotating ads" banner across the top, which meant that as new sponsors signed on, everybody's exposure rate went down.
I wonder if those new ads rotate top-to-bottom, or if the order of appearance has been set by some method? Rotating seems to make sense, I'll have to watch and see what happens. EDIT: I see from another thread that they appear in alpha order. Hmmmm. . . will this set off Yellow-Page style competitions for names such as AAA-Kilts? LOL I still think rotating would be better than alpha, but understand if that creates a whole 'nother can of worms. /EDIT
Really looking forward to hearing about the new levels of advertising! I feel a bit lost, all alone down there in the "Advertisers" field. . .
