If the header ads get reduced to where NO scrolling is necessary to start working on each page, my TUG Signature will disappear. ------------------ TUGboat Captain Blank Blank Credentials: >15 years timesharing/>75 exchanges/multiple weeks/long-time independent TUG contributor/Branson-Table Rock Lake boat rides Areas of Knowledge and Interest: Timesharing:Buying/Selling/Renting/Donating/Exchanging/Searching/Resort Management/Newbies/Florida(>30years)/Kauai/SOCAL/Colorado/Missouri/Arkansas/ Iowa/Ohio/Florida Other:Finance/Law/Real Estate/Consumer Advocacy/Estate Planning/Priceline/Hotwire/Sports/Boating/Fishing/Golf/Lake-living IP: Logged

Whenever I have to use dial-up, the banner ads on rci's site eat up my minutes with connection time to ad.doubleclick.net IP: Logged

Madge TUG Member Posts: 3568 From: Carmel, IN Registered: Jan 2003	posted 01-26-2005 12:16 Jim, I'll take this one under advisement The banner ads will stay; however, I will forward this feedback. The agreement was that no banner ad should be more than 30K in size, so that it should not be affecting site speed much at all. ------------------ ~ Madge IP: Logged

Madge - The problem is most likely not the size of the files, it's connecting to the doubleclick server. I've seen this on many ad-supported sites - when you don't get an immediate connection to the ad server, everything stops until the connection is made. ------------------ Doug Wilson, "The Makai Guy" Email me TUG Volunteer Coordinator & BBS Administrator My websites: North Shore Kauai and Yellowstone 2003 Photo Gallery IP: Logged

Madge TUG Member Posts: 3568 From: Carmel, IN Registered: Jan 2003	posted 01-30-2005 16:58 Hi Doug, In researching this, I was indeed advised that the banners do not draw from RCI's servers. However, your point is one I would like to investigate further. If this process does cause added wait time for access to RCI's server, it is something we need to be aware of and address. Thanks for your input. ------------------ ~ Madge IP: Logged

Registered Dec. 2000 Registered: Mar 2002	posted 02-02-2005 06:15 This morning, after my searches, I could not navigate out of RCI. It was stuck on "Downloading picture https://ad.doubleclick.net/viewad/999872/728_ExtraVac.v2_2.gif" or something close to that. After about 5 minutes I had to CAD. My computer is working fine on other sites I've been to this morning. quote: Originally posted by JLB: FWIW, while I'm waiting I see "addoubleclick" on the "Opening Page" line. ------------------ TUGboat Captain 16 years timesharing/80 exchanges/Branson-Table Rock Lake boat rides Interests: Buying/Selling/Renting/Donating/Exchanging/Searching/Resort Management/Florida/Kauai/SOCAL/Colorado/Missouri/Arkansas/Iowa/Ohio/Florida Finance/Law/Real Estate/Consumer Advocacy/Estate Planning/Priceline/Hotwire/Sports/Boating/Fishing/Golf/Lake-living IP: Logged
