Can we please...

...fix the damn WotC banner?

I'm still getting that goddam scrollbar.

True dat. It's irritating me as well.

I have never even seen the offending banner. WotC runs their ads through ad.doubleclick.net, which my internet has been set to block all connections to.

What annoys me is the fact that it will hang on trying to load the banner and not load the rest of the page sometimes.

Appears to have been fixed (at least, in 1024 x 768, anyway).

 

[Arnwyn]

No.

My eyes are still bleeding over in Rules and General (at 1024 x 768).

i lose a lot of image files. even the file to load the reply button or quote button or... every image file on the site basically while it tries to get the WotC banner.

it is highly annoying.

Yep. I'd disable that function and just deal with the ads if I had the password to get into the internet settings.

OK, Gang, any better?

I turned both banners to "default.gif" - but I figure it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out which forum you're in.

If anyone sees any problems resulting from my little kluge, let me know.

 

[Arnwyn]

Yep, better for me at least. No more bleeding eyes, even in General and Rules!

Hmm, actually looking at my activity logs, the ad is the only item out of a possible 63 that does not load when viewing this thread. So apparently I'm having no problems loading any other images right now.

When using Yahoo! Mail, however, it totally hangs because of all the ad sites it's trying to load, that I have blocked.
