Tom, The "thanks" and "karma" are interchangable, you can do the same as before except now it is politically correct to call it "thanks". There were some out there with bad karma who felt it was wrong to use the term karma and it had to be changed. Change is good cause change brings about something else... oh, who am I fooling with that patronizing bull? I liked it the old way too.

Starting to look like a giant ad page and - oh wait - there's a forum page here in the middle too....

Unfortunately, the portal page is getting more packed and cluttered, and the new sidebar ad can't be blocked in /etc/hosts because it's coming from the same server as the forum:

Code:

www.airforums.com

I've started using the New Posts page instead of the portal. Make a shortcut with an address of:

http://www.airforums.com/forums/search.php?do=getnew

and you can use it as your own portal page.

Code:

There and elsewhere you can still block the AirstreamClassifieds page peel:

127.0.0.1       www.airstreamclassifieds.com

and the Google ads:

127.0.0.1       pagead2.googlesyndication.com
127.0.0.1       www.google-analytics.com
127.0.0.1       partner.googleadservices.com

and the Social Knowledge ads:

127.0.0.1       connect.socialknowledge.com

and the tracking of your activity:

127.0.0.1       edge.quantserve.com
127.0.0.1       pixel.quantserve.com
127.0.0.1       e0.extreme-dm.com
127.0.0.1       t1.extreme-dm.com

BTW, if you use AdBlock, don't upgrade to Firefox 3 yet. The current version of AdBlock isn't compatible with it!

Andy...the pictures in posts #33, 34, 38 and 41 on our thread http://www.airforums.com/forums/f39/...own-35036.html are gone

...they were there at one time. Can you fix that??

**azflycaster** · 06-19-2008, 10:12 PM

I can see the pictures in the posts you listed....

Richard... I fired up Safari (3.1.1) and can see the pics through that browser, but I still can't see them in Firefox (2.0.0.4) on a Mac... They used to be visible...

Thanks for checking it out...

Richard...I cleared the cache and the pictures re-appeared...I guess that's what the problem was...

Thanks for your help and attention anyway...maybe this newfound trick will help in future "panics" from the masses.

I am not sure if this is a bug, but yesterday I discovered that my PortalPAge says that I have a new private message "Your Notifications: 1"... But when I open my private messages all messages are read and there is nothing new...

Anyone that can help??

Greets,

Bjoern

I bet you have a friendship request.

I just sent you one too.

On my desktop computer, the portal page is screwy. On the laptop, it looks normal. What I mean is that the "latest discussions" threads column in the center of the page is very narrow. It seems almost crowded out by the columns to the left and right. Any ideas?

Jim

Frank's Trailer Works · 06-29-2008, 05:34 AM

it is a way for you to see more advertisements

Jim & Susan · 06-29-2008, 05:41 AM

This all started when Andy added the "Airstream Inspectors" box to the right side of the page. Prior to that, everything was fine. I guess I need to compare the display settings between teh two PC's and see if there is a difference.

Jim

CanoeStream · 06-29-2008, 05:54 AM

The inspectors box may be temporary. There is a plan for linking to a format that will greatly improve what this ever has been. I see the problem on the right column as the width of the classifieds box below it with the double wide ad images. I agree with Jim on the laptop vs. PC. I spent some infrequent time on my PC yesterday and the page looked pretty bad -- the left & right columns were going to win out and the forum discussions down the middle were squeezed. That's the main thing that brings us here, right? Glad to see I'm not alone. This is only a personal opinion but it's actually been on my list to ask about.

Jim & Susan · 06-29-2008, 06:09 AM

Thanks for looking into it, Bob.

Maybe it's an intentional "bug", but this one certainly bugs me.

A Spammer just hit the forum with six posts on "Moringa". I reported the first one, but was then blocked from reporting the other ones. Evidently there is a 3 minute wait time between reporting posts.

While I realize the Mod's do a great job of preventing it and/or removing it as soon as it hits, is there a good reason for the time delay?

I'll look into the limits. BTW - thanks for the report, it's a huge help!

3 min limit still there...
