2/3 's of the screen? No, never had that happen. Their on the left of mine and take maybe about an eighth of the screen. That's about it. They use to be a PITA running a Firefox browser and hog up allot of processor when they ran. If I use IE7 I don't have any problems.

Does all this happen running the IE browser. It's kind of hard to figure out a problem without providing data. I see allot posts on problems lately, but without that sort of data , it's difficult to troubleshoot.

I dunno what you are talking about. I know enough to keep the puter going and that is it. I am using Yahoo as the "browser". Also another weird thing is the smiley icons have'nt been working all the time. Sometimes I can use one sometimes I can't.

Oh - I didn't know that. Yahoo isn't a browser. Internet Explorer is the basic default browser on most systems. Firefox is another that can be acquired free via the Internet. There what you use to surf the net. You might want to go up to help on your browser and just make sure it's updated.

PM me , I can help you set it up and clean your system up a little . I think you have a few old scripts running at the the same time new ones are trying to. You can correct that .

Yeah, I got that today. I think there's one ad in the Google rotation that's designed to be a top banner ad. Putting it in the sidebar stretches the sidebar way out.

Yet one more issue the new owners need to look at.

Yeah... it happened to me quite a few times yesterday... I think it's kind of unfair that our sigs have to be 500x100... but those stinkin' ads are gigantic and take away from a useful place.

Top ads are winding up in the sidebar ad rotation. It's happening right now and at 1024x768 it's VERY annoying - so annoying I'm quitting till it's fixed. Somebody send me a PM when it's fixed. I'm also reporting the post to staff to try to wake someone up.

Firefox and ad blocker plus works wonders. No ads whatsoever.
