Yeah, this is a bit annoying .. can't you move it sidewards next to the news and stats box or something? And maybe fix the image size .. scrolling two meters because of a non-existant picture is a wee bit annoying  :dontask:

Hi Guys,

Just back, & I walk into THIS!

I know nothing about this, ditto Rhow, ditto Monty Burns.

Mt first reaction would be that we have been interfered with, but we are checking it out with bream & sparks right now.

But be assured, neither Rhow, Dave or myself know ANYTHING about how these rotating banners came to be there.

Nobody in their right mind visits Killie.

Firefox and my mac here at work are minimising this .. but it looks very odd... almost like a pop up that isn't one..

I dread to think how invasive this is on IE.

Yea they are building a thing called a railway line at the moment.  My friend says he visited England once and saw a thing called a train.

He lives in a dream world.

It (well, they, there were three in rotation) appear(s) to have gone now.

I spoke to Rhow, she did not get it on her 'puter, but it did appear on Dave's.

Dave was well-worried about it, as was I - how on earth did it happen, who did it, & how?

It's JUST possible that Bream or Sparks pressed a wrong button & inserted them on the Forum by mistake, but I've never heard of two of the three sites advertised, & I'm sure I (or Dave or Rhow) would know - 100% - if we were doing business with any of these people.

Sorry, but as far as I can tell.....we know nutink!

There was a problem with the ads not appearing on the home page which we fixed, however all of a sudden the ad from the home page started appearing at the top of the forum - I know not why.  Anyway, I've reversed the change I did to fix the home page which has stopped the ad appearing in the forum.

The ability to display ads is available in the forum software, but we have it disabled.  Somehow it got re-enabled.  We'll have a closer look tonight.

Apologies

I can shed a LITTLE more light on this now.

I wrote to Rhow about a totally unconnected matter today - getting some Banners up on the Home Page (NOT the Forum) & this was her response (edited to remove the bulk of the reply which is not relevant to this)....

".....with the
move to a different server it has upset the banner
sofware we use to place the ads on the site.

Rowan is having a look at the problem and will have it
fixed later this afternoon. as soon as I get word from
him that it's fixed I'll get them up......"


Reading between the lines, it's all starting to make sense now.
