We have updated the header and placement for ads, guests will sometimes see a 970x250 and those ads are of high quality and gives Neowin a better revenue so we can continue to improve services.

Logged in members do not see the large ads, they will only see 728x90 sized ads.

Additionally we will be updating the header soon to include member avatars on the same row as the Neowin logo. Also we need the space for switching between another site I plan to launch sometime soon (Neogamr) which will focus solely on gaming news.

The forums will also be updated over the weekend, and will (if my code skillz allow it) also include the member avatar in the header.

I know not everyone likes ads, but it's a fact of life that we need them to operate the site, so please hold off commenting about it, at least out of a little respect.

And as always I appreciate your support of the site, it means a lot to us.

Also you can add what OS you're running into your profile now. Neat!

Very nice. I did that, and at the same time changed my photo using a URL. Now, it seems I can't change my photo back to something uploaded from my PC.

Edit: Not sure how it happened, but eventually the photo change stuck. Just took several minutes.

Whilst I do appreciate the need for ads to help with the cost of running this site which we all and I love, but I have to say I'm not too keen with the ad bar at the top, looks a little out of place to me!

I don't have complaints, but if I may respectfully ask a question here: would allowing the ad to be collapsed be completely out of the question here?

Just curious, as it seems like it would do the site better for both the readers and the folks in charge here. This way, the reader could see the ad, then choose to collapse it, instead of resorting to 3rd party tools to block the ad entirely. Provided it didn't go against the agreement you guys have set up, bringing in this new revenue of course.

Just a thought, as you know I love you guys. :)

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
