Hey Brian,
what's up with the new advertisement on the bottom on the page? Collecting signatures for something? It slows down the page and I can't browse it anymore.

http://surfguitar101.com/forums/topic/23195/ It's just for today. On my desktop browsers you can minimize it by clicking the X and it will stay minimized at the bottom of the page. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Oh, okay. Just FYI this really slows down almost everything on the machine I'm using. I have to admit though, that I am forced to use IE right now. Maybe that's the issue. Minimizing won't help either. Scrolling feels like slow motion and posts take ages to open. Also slows down my other tabs. On the other hand it's a good thing and I appreciate it. — |

What version of IE are you using? The javascript for the banner loads asynchronously so it should not affect you browsing SG101 if you have a recent web browser. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Thanks for putting this up Brian- I wasn't even aware today was dedicated to this cause, and it took under a minute to send an email out. — |
