I think the change that's pointed out in this thread is that the banners that were running as of this weekend(?) expand to take up about more than 2x the vertical size with an in-banner donation form even if you just move your mouse over them. That's a change from the previous approach, where you had to click the banner to expand it. I agree that this is counterintuitive - elements shouldn't jump around, or expand when you don't expect it. It's always a balancing act, but I feel that we should steer away from dark patterns like pretending that moving your mouse into a banner area suggests strong intent -- I'd rather run the previous banner for a longer time. YMMV.
