Thanks for a chuckle in what has otherwise been a very serious thread for me. It made me think.... "Is that a bug in my program or just a user that is doing something different than I want them to...." ;)



In the case of the firefox issues -- I think it is a combination of the vBulletin software we are using and the browser itself. I've not seen an ad in text box entry form and I'm using Firefox as my primary browser for this forum.

Brad!

But it wouldn't be the 1st "Firefox only" issue we've had. We had to dump a navbar and toolbar that displayed fine if accessed directly in FF, but if displayed in another page via SSI, the display was trashed. Didn't have any similar issue with IE or Opera.

yep, it Mozillla Firefox 1.0..

LOL, knew it. Well, I don't know what to do to fix it in FF that won't break it in Opera and IE, but I'll try, that's the best I can do. Does it occur each time?

not every time,only when the network was slow loading.... i refreshed the browser couple of times and it happened...

Oh. Well that'll make it tough to fix. So far I haven't been able to reproduce it.

Here's my 5 cents...

I also find these ads extremely annoying, when I want to reply or read a topic, I don't want to read an add - if I wanted to read an add I would do a search on Google.
This is THE BEST programming forum in every sence of the word (the people: admin moderators, members) are all so very friendly and helpful.

- I love this place, BUT I don't like the ads.:mad:

Exactely right :thumb: eliminate the root cause :p

I think these ads should have rating buttons. I'd like to vote down that ad on the right which is taking up all the space.

:D :D
And when the rating goes under a threshold have them removed...

the ads re not that bad ;)......ok most of them are :D.....but i ve benefited from them as i got the link to jdk.

I Found, this site/Forum really nice, as here we learn a lot, can express our views, and get the suggesstion for the problems.

But past some time, ads in the discussion forum are creating irritations.As when we move to a page/forum,we have to take one wxtra step to remove the adds.It will be better to find some alternative for the ads, but any how these ads should be removed from the forums.

Well... although the ads are an irritant, I just want Codeguru to remain healthy.

Everyone who uses this site knows it's one of the most important sites on the internet. I think it's THE most important site - the most professionally administered - the highest quality participants - with unequalled standards.

Hopefully, in time, the advertisers will want to change the ads. It's a reminder to me to click ads more often. Lesson learned :)
