Now if we can just get the ad issues solved once and for all. | |

| i've been having the ad issues today.
once the page loads, i'm good as long as i don't leave the board. if i go away and come back, i have to wait for the ads to load again.

If you are still seeing them you can choose the volnation 2007 skin from the dropdown on the bottom left of the page. | |

| There's an option to disable Avatars in your UserCP panel. If they aren't smart enough to use that option then let the page take 3 minutes to load. I would say that maybe 10% of users on here have dial-up as opposed to broadband. Why punish the majority?? Sorry freak, but this isn't a decision that will benefit the board, IMO.
