Or is it just me?

I emailed Nigel to see if he could correct it but he hasn't gotten back to me. He may be out of town for the holidays and hasn't had time to check his email recently.

The Ad at the top of the Arranger SZ home page use to be just "1" Ad but now I see "3" ads, i.e. - "three in a row". Do others see the same thing? It makes me have to scroll down the page some just to start reading the posts.

Very annoying to say the least. I hope Nigel will attend to this ASAP.

Yoo Hoo! Mate! Wazzzz up?? Are these duplicate ads fair dinkum or is it just on my end?

Best regards,
Mike

PS: I haven't done anything on my Computer that I can think of that would cause the "3" ads I now see whereas a few days ago I was just seeing "1" ad.

no dont see anything like that...

MIke,
It is fine and as usual with one ad on my computer.
Bebop

It's not just you. It is a combination of the way that ad is created combined with your own browser text size settings. If your text is set to smallest the problem goes away but as you increase the text size it begins to expand. I actually reported this problem to those that serve the ad and asked them to look into a partial solution. You can go to the View->Text Size menu on your browser and change the settings to see this happen.

Thanks for replying Nigel.

The funny thing is I had my Browser set as always (no changes whatsoever) and up until a few days ago there was only one ad.

So I agree with you that whoever is in charge of making these ads needs to make the necessary changes, i.e. to work with you Nigel to correct this.

And get this: if I change the text size to 'largest' I get Six... count em' SIX ads! Ridiculous!!

I never used to get more than one ad regardless of the text size.

And if I change it to smallest as you suggest to get just the one ad to show I will have to start wearing coke bottle thick eye glasses just to be able to read everything clearly without straining the ol' peepers. @|@.. Either that or buy a huge magnifying glass and tape it to my Monitor and sit two inches from the screen. LOL

>> I say you fire your Advert people Nigel..

There's got to be some online Advertisment agency that can get it right you would think. And do we even need those Ads? Do the monetary rewards or lack of them spell life or death for the SZ? If they have to stay can it be like old times (how about just a few days ago ) when everything was copacetic and their was only one ad showing on my screen??..

I will be looking forward with anticipation to having this resolved. You can do it Mate! One way or the other. Have them correct it or fire their keisters and get someone who will work with you to do it right.

Ahem.. cough cough... Happy Holidays one and all

Best regards,
Mike

I only see 2, but my laptop's getting pretty old...

Funny thing but all the ads vanish as soon as I scroll down.. Aint I lucky

Yes that is a special feature we all have

Life is grand !

Grandiose, ...Magnanimous

Here is the definition of Magnanimous in the Thesaurus:

"Willing to give of oneself and one's possessions: big, big-hearted, generous, great-hearted, large-hearted, unselfish."

I know it's not your fault mate but those ads are still annoying nonetheless. Sure they disappear when I scroll down but if I read another new post I get the same column of ads staring me in the face each and every time. And I won't reduce the text size to smallest and strain my peepers @|@ in the process and sit right on top of my Monitor with all its negative effects to read the posts either. Much to the chagrin of the naysayers I suppose but nevertheless I won't.

So yes, I will have to scroll until it is fixed [if ever], and yes UD, isn't life Grand!

I guess we can chalk up the ads to a devious prank Christmas present if nothing else. One good thing is my wireless mouse's batteries get to drain down faster from all the scrolling. Oh..., did I say 'good' thing? Oops!

Best regards,
Mike
