Hello once again!!!
I would like to comment something on the layout (if that's what they call it lol)
I wish we could have one with Haldir  and/or Frodo too. I mean I don't mind the ones we have now, Aragorn, Legolas, Faramir and Boromir etc. etc. but a change would be fine lol
Tell me what you think  |

I think I don't know what you're on about...
Unless you're talking about the banners on the top? There are 76 banners in rotation, but only a few are shown at any one time. There have been ones with Haldir, Frodo and lots and lots of BNB, but you'll need to stick around for a while until you get them.
If that's not what you're on about, give us another clue.

Indeed that's what I'm talking about dear Robbie. The only ones I can see are the ones I mentioned along with a Gandalf one, one that has Aragorn Legolas Eomer and Theoden, two with Eomer and one with Faramir alone.
That's it, nothing else, I never saw any Haldir ones or any Frodo ones, and I'm here for a time. 
Thanks Robbie anyway |

OK, we've thrown them all in the mix.
(Don't like doing this as it adds to the bandwidth costs of the site, but we'll see how much this adds...)

Just gotta add my two cents, Admins, the banners are great!!! Thanks muchly, hope it doesn't become a bandwidth problem and we get to continue our enjoyment of such quantity of quality.

I don't see them... The only place I could see them is on the computers at the college. |

Well, that's your own fault for running add blocking software that isn't very good. I've seen it before, it thinks the banners are ads, but they're not.
Don't forget that sites like this one generally don't get many donations to cover costs, so rely on adverts to help cover costs. I can understand blocking pop-ups and pop-unders (and we don't have any on this site) but simple banner ads...? You never know, you may find one that is useful but otherwise they are easy to ignore - and you don't know what other material you are missing out on.

| It's actually Norton, not some crappy ad-blocking program. Do you use JAVA-script to run the banners-maybe the reason why it blocks it? I hate JAVA, it's bad. |

Javascript only does the google ads.
The banners that we are referring to are simply pictures letting you know you're on OSA. Nothing more, nothing less. Not even linked to anything. Just nice pictures that dolarabee took ages to do. And you're blocking pictures?
<SopaBox>
Norton has other problems too - no complaints on the virus software, but some of the "privacy" bullshit that it adds to it's software just make it harder for you to browse the Internet, and make it harder for web administrators to manage their sites. I'm not saying you shouldn't run such security software, but you shouldn't run software that breaks Internet protocols or hides innocent pictures.
Ah well, it's your web experience... until one day web admins will just get so pissed off they just bar access.
</soapbox>

My dad had Norton until I tried to twist his computer inside out. I'm not technical enough to know what went wrong, but in the end it started messing with the computer at start up so that it just kept getting past the DOS to the first 'Windows' screen then going back to the start again.
About the ads, actually there's some really interesting ones that come up sometimes. There's one circling about for the big convention thing in London (that I can't afford to go to alas), and I found an amazing Tolkien shop through them as well (which is the reason I can't afford to go... )
I like the way also that they seem to related sometimes to the page you call up. But little things like that interest me.

The privacy or ad blocking settings in the virus software is most likely the culprit. I'd suggest getting rid of Norton in my computer nut opinion. I had it for some time and it conflicted with my OS. Eventually I got some trojan on my computer that I found with a free online virus scan yet my completely updated Norton couldn't find. After that I got McAfee and havent had any problems since.
PS: Love the new banners! Very nice work.

Yeah, that sounds exactly like what happened to Dad's computer. In the end he got some trojan thing as well. I know I've always had McAfee on this laptop and it's been brilliant so far at killing nasties, but doesn't seem to interfere with anything. I think dad's given up and installed McAfee as well.
