He is still tweaking. He is a great tweaker. Love that word.

The banners you're all talking about aren't a problem, they're no bigger than our logo and positioned in that area. 7"x1".

The forum that Esther and myself have been on for a bit, and Geranium joined recently, has banners and they're really not that intrusive and are quite a good talking point in themselves ;D

They are always something related to what one of us has been searching/googling so that's what i mean when i say they're a talking point !!!

I did a search for Boden and Laura Ashley clothes once and ..... up Boden and L A ads advert popped ;D ;D

Go and peek into the Garden World Discussions site/forum and you'll see what i'm talking about.

What about subsidising 'Freaky' to advertise on here ;D

I think we should stop talking about cost ..... keep the banners, they're fairly unobtrusive, they're not worth worrying over.

The banner i see on Garden World Discusssions at this mo is a John Lewis advert because that's where i've looked in the last couple of days.
Advertising a perfume !

Then Wickes ;D

Then Jules Verne ;D ;D

You can forget about them after a while. -

There are plenty of free sites out there.....

I'm quite savvy on this..... the ads appear relevant because you have been sent a tracking cookie, (probably "eyeblaster" - google it....), which sits in your computer's internet cache and tracks all the sites you visit. It then sends back the information to whoever put it there and they then target you with "relevant" ads. The tracking cookie isn't dangerous in itself (although they can be if they are a keylogger), but you can get rid of it with your virus software, which should find it as a tracking cookie, or just delete your cookies completely. Problem with that though is that you will then have to re-log in for the sites you normally visit and want to visit, which is a pain. For those that don't know, a cookie is just a small file which downloads from most internet sites and normally doesn't cause any problems. This site will have sent you a cookie so that you can remain logged in or out........
