Problem with GIF on Neowin

[vassie]

When ever the following GIF is showing on Neowin, IE6 goes mad! See the following pic.....

Any ideas?

Yeah I noticed it too.

It's 150Kb I think that's the problem. We'll see what we can do.

I HATE flash ads. Whenever you click on another IE window and then back to one with a flash ad, it shows the ad for like 2 seconds and THEN loads the page slowly. Flash shouldn't be used in ads!

Now that is one shitted gif image, I looked at it in Ulead and managed to cut it down to around 94KB without loosing any quality. Use it if you like, in the meantime anyway ;).

That is one BAD ad and an EVEN WORSE gif.

I swear I'm not thinking straight. I assumed that the 150K banner was on your server. :ditsy:

Oh well, someone here who knows someone over there might get on their case about it. :)

It would be easy to change seeing as they are all kept in the same directory on an aol member account. http://members.aol.com/supporttyme/

They keep their ads on an AOL member account? :s

WHY?

It is kind of ironic, seeing as they are a webhosting company... :roll:

Tyme has informed me that she has removed the troublesome GIF from the rotator and whipped it at least 80 times. Its now sitting in the corner of a dark room crying uncontrollably.

I am still considering them as my web host but I am still puzzled over the banners being on an AOL member account.

Anyway, I don't see any banners now I started using Webwasher again.

Maybe AOL member accounts have more bandwidth? :s

Strange, but I'm glad they fixed it. :)

The server that the ads are supposed to be on is being upgraded, thats why they are temporarily on a AOL account, is what Im told.
