QuintessentialShadows · 24/02/2009 21:48

Yup. first part of the page is just the ad. I have to scroll down to the posts

Owls · 24/02/2009 21:48

Which advert?

BigGitDad · 24/02/2009 21:48

Nope there is not enough posts I assume.
Let me post a few more and hopefully it will appear..

OP posts:
Lilyloo · 24/02/2009 21:48

No, just no ad on this post

BigGitDad · 24/02/2009 21:48

More posts needed...

Lilyloo · 24/02/2009 21:49

BigGitDad · 24/02/2009 21:49

I am getting this on every post tonight. I have to scroll down to see messages.

Owls · 24/02/2009 21:50

Oh that JoJo advert. Can't say it's bothered me that much tbh

Lilyloo · 24/02/2009 21:50

they are aware and trying to fix it......

DevilsAdvocaat · 24/02/2009 21:50

v annoying. i keep thinking my page hasn't loaded properly.

Lilyloo · 24/02/2009 21:51

Owls every ad is doing it..

BigGitDad · 24/02/2009 21:52

Ooh Lilyloo, how are you? Is you dh okay at the moment? (workwise)

OP posts:
BigGitDad · 24/02/2009 21:53

Fix it? Take the stupid ad off then..
It is so annoying to have to scroll down everytime to see what is being posted.

Lilyloo · 24/02/2009 21:54

He jacked in buisness BGD we lost a lot of money but hey ho!
He working for bank now and doesn't really like it but just glad he has job in this climate.

How things for you , tough for lots of really established IFA's we know!

Off to find any threads with less than 3 posts

Owls · 24/02/2009 21:56

Yes see what you mean now. Weird, I hadn't even registered them consciously. Now they're annoying.

BigGitDad · 24/02/2009 21:58

Sorry to hear that lilyloo, just bad timing really. It is very tough and I'm just hanging in there at the mo. Being an IFA does give me a bit more flexibilty and having got a client base going back a few years helps too but it worrying.
Good that he got a job other wise though.

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 24/02/2009 22:00

It's bugging me too!

Lilyloo · 24/02/2009 22:03

Yeah really bad timing, if he had had a few more clients behind him who knows?
But if we had never given it a go and all that....

A job is a job at the minute and at least the paypacket is guaranteed. Glad we didn't try to keep it going any longer tbh.

Hopefully you can keep your head above water and ride it out.

Thanks for asking though

Lol at Owl who hadn't noticed until you had mentioned it

ChippingIn · 24/02/2009 22:04

It's bloody annoying, I too keep thinking my page hasn't yet loaded.... I'm just as annoyed with myself though for allowing it to keep 'tricking' me!! LOL

Furball · 24/02/2009 22:05

me three, has just started and tis annoying

BigGitDad · 24/02/2009 22:06

The guy I work with Lily had £2.5m in mortgages he could not place for the month of January alone. SVR too low to bother remortgaging!

And there was I sat staring blankly at my screen for 5 minutes wondering why my pc was so slow (when infact it is ME that is slow after all )!
