Hey crazy, That's good to know. After my war with the Trolls yesterday, thought I may be losing it. That and the big Ad bar is gone as well.

You nad Adama both use that although Adama uses IE. I don't use Ad Bloc or any thing else and there is no Banner up there any more. In fact there is not an ad to be found anywhere on the page.

I think in the topic listings, there is supposed to be a darker bar every other one and it isn't so dark. Think I can tweak my monitor and take care of that though.

Hi Coastie. I believe this is a system issue. I see it too. I have tried it in both Vista and XP...and in all three major browsers.

Also, if you notice, the font is different. It looks like Times New Roman 12pt. Before, I believe it was Arial 10pt.

A new look? Only a slight difference but noticable to the regular visitors. Slightly different header and larger font. Still works the same though.

Hey All,



Sorry, I should have warned you. Yes, the header is changing, I'm not quite done with it all yet, so not everything may look right. I should have it done in a bit!

Thanks Bill. I guess it's nice to know we get surprises at no extra charge. :D The ad banner is back as well now.

I am currently using Chrome. This is what I see when I try to access the Community using Firefox: (Click on the image to enlarge.)

Anyone else have this issue while using Firefox? I'm gonna clear the Private Data to see if that corrects the issue.

Hey, folks. I'm kind of late to the party. For a while I had trouble accessing the forums because I hadn't realized that one of my Adblock Plus filters was causing most of the page to disappear. I'm glad that the "Community" text was replaced with "Forums." The text in the top right corner overlaps with each other, though. I hope that gets fixed.

Hi Numbers. Do you remember what specific Ad Block Plus filter you disabled? Since I use that application as well, that may be why I still cannot use Firefox.

Hi Coastie. On the contrary. I would not run Firefox without the cocktail of Ad Block Plus and NoScript. There is so much needless junk and advertising. Both of these applications enables me to see exactly what I want, when I want. If there is something that I need to see, I can give the site temporary access. Beautiful.

Another great feature of Ad Block Plus is that I can block certain graphical content that I feel is "pointless." I have blocked certain pictures within posts, certain signature graphics, even certain avatars. I have blocked some out of annoyance and some out of the fact that I just do not care to see the content.

Hey mph, Yeah. I guess I'm just ambivalent about the ad stuff and just don't pay it any mind. Actually, I don't get a lot of ads, at least not to the point of being intrusive to the other stuff.

I'm afraid I don't know which one it was. I think the thing to do (which I didin't and I don't know why) is right-click the Adblock Plus icon, select Open blockable items, and start deleting filters and refreshing the page until you find the right one.

I hope you can return to Firefox soon. :D
