Ian nobody has said a word about the ADDS on top, if you did it KEEP it up. Quite enjoyable. Much better.

There weren't any ads on mine for a couple of weeks, but now they are back

Hi folks,

I didn't "fix" them, per se, but I called Google and they have a very serious opinion about what they allow on peoples' web sites. They know they are a bit insidious, but don't want them to be an annoyance. Let's face it, they make Google richer, no doubt about that.

So, they are monitoring the ads that are being "pushed" to the site. I rely on those ads to create a trickle of revenue for me, too. I have another web site with Google ads on it that has better traffic on it during the summer than BNO, so I'm not in a hurry to remove them. However, I get a continual stream of emails from Google saying I could do much better by increasing the number of ads per page from one or two to 3 per page. Not going to do it - not just yet anyway!

Divert your eyes if you're disinterested in the links. Follow the links if you like anything you see. Pretty simple. They aren't going to go away any time soon ;-)

Thanks for noticing a bit of a change.

Yeah, that's how I thought that it would work. My opinion is that anything that supports this board is a good thing. Thanks for all your hard work, Ian!

If it helps, I can add a trickle at the bottom of the screen. Just haven't figured out how to forward it.
