question about the problem with scrolling down ...ad problems

13 years ago

would some of you let me know what ad is in the ad banner when you have trouble scrolling (when ad extends out too far).

I'll watch but am not going to be here a lot today.

I emailed Tamara to see if they were aware that was hapening..they weren't. She wants to know what ad are showing up, I imagine to see if it is the same ones or if all are doing it.

I don't see any ads since I use firefox with adblock plus and easylist, they should be able to easily look at their code and see what is causing the problem blowing out the margins.

My stinky (bug) problem and questions about insect netting
Q
Comments (11)
We here in North Western Virginia were overwhelmed by these little (explitive) stink bugs last summer. They destroyed the local apple crop, corn, tomatoes and more. And by the sheer number of "tick-like" babies I saw, this growing season will be a huge challenge. I have attended several lectures sponsored by the local Agriculture Extension folks who admit they do not have a solution in site. With that in mind I am considering some kind of netting for my tomatoes in particular. The stink bugs do not seem to assault greens, onions, leeks, beets etc. I hope to find the proper netting and secure it to heavy duty tomato trellis' with clothes pins. I realize this will be a bit of a hassle when harvesting but that's got to be better than watching the tomato crop destoyed at the height of the season.... it's heart breaking. I'm going to Wal-Mart to check out the "tulle netting" suggested by "noinwi".

Trane AC problem, question about replacing
Q
Comments (10)
Hello, Depending on your labor market, just about any brand can be replaced for $3000-5000. You are on the high side at $4600. A 3-ton condenser replacement should fall into the $1800-2500 range. I made a bid for an investor yesterday for a 3-ton system at $2500. I estimate 12 hours, and this includes new lines. I expect a lot of work from this customer. I expect to see about 15 replacement systems this summer from him. For this customer I will be installing a Carrier branded product. I do not like Carrier or TRANE. I think they are substandard products. The companies spend too much on advertising, so the products have been cheapened to allow competetiveness. They donÂt perform any better than lesser brands. The public loves the 2 brands. I offered this price to develop a major customer. I have said previously, that I have no brand loyalty. I sell the cheapest available. When Goodman solves a warrantee issue, I will return to Goodman. Manufacturers need to learn that warrantee issues are more important than they allow. Not having warrantee parts available, will cause a lot of good will to be lost. A distributor That I have used for over 15 years, has decided to stop selling equipment, because of the manufacturers poor attitude. He has had a relationship with the manufacturer for 43 years. I think he is kinda dumb, but he is tired of fighting warrantee issues. Since the manufacturer was sold, the relationship has worsened. I like his product, but understand what he is complaining of. He is the only distributor of this product in Dallas?

Is anyone still having problems with scrolling?
Q
Comments (16)
Yep..still having problems, but not as bad. Still annoying enough that I don't come as often. I refuse to change anything on my computer to "fix" the problem. Seems like everytime I try to fix one thing..something else goes wrong! If so many are having problems..the problem has to be on GardenWeb's end...let them tweak and fix it!!

Anyone else having problems with ads?
Q

I've had the same problem with the Pantene ad and it covers the whole screen and I can't make it go away. What's up, GardenWeb? I am fine with the ads that just stay to the side. I know people need to advertise. Also, I can type messages fine here, but when I go on the GardenWeb Round Robin I can't see what I type in the message box as I type. In fact there is about a 3 min. delay before it appears! Almost too long to wait. Both of these issues make it hard to stop in and check boards or post when you have limited time to do it. I hope it all gets straightened out. Both of my problems started when the new background appeared - which I happen to like - but I don't like the problems! Jeanne

Not sure which ads cause the problem but it is a very big problem. I often need to hit refresh several times before I am able to scroll. It's a real pain!

My problem doesn't have to do with the ads, but I've had a back-and-forth email conversation with Tamera today about my problem logging in (sometimes.) She was so quick with the emails and very interested in the problem. Of course when I tried to recreate it, I couldn't, but now know to try hitting the F5 key when it happens again. That kind of attention was a nice surprise from GW!

Mine too. Sometimes the scroll bar doesn't show up at all so I have to refresh to get it to pop up.

I have the Pamper's ad, but no problem scrolling. I'll look next time I lose my scroll bar.

Well it just happened when I clicked on "preview" of something I was going to post. All I could see was "Free car battery test", but now that I've hit refresh I can see it is for Interstate Battery Center.

AT&T just did it to me. It's the very top banner, directly under the large 'Garden Web' and above the Garden Web tool bar. In the space between the two. PIA!

The scrolling feature normally is herky-jerky until after the full page has loaded. If you have a slow internet connection such as dial-up, that can be a bothersome problem. Years go, web developers were more kind to dial-ups, but as time passed, the graphic content and ads increased until many webmasters began to program as though everyone had unlimited speed.

There is a second hidden feature: the way the internet servers are programmed to operate. The system can tell when it has connected to a slow speed customer and will reduce the amount of time slices allocated to that user, the thinking being that it will be able to keep up and thereby can pass more bits total by giving more play the faster connections. It doesn't always work out that way when the system gets busy; The faster connections gets the lion's share and the dial-up service becomes slower than normal.
