I've slowing down alot these couple of days, fixing my league, looks like James is heating up! I notice takaplan has to still to attack me in posts in these last few days he is in this game, how sad. And takaplan has too much free time clicking on the Banners, how lucky.

No...I'd like to consider myself a beta TESTER. I was testing the banners and I did actually see a worthwhile ad.

Last few days I am in the game? I signed up for the subscription service and I am going to continue to be an active member of the mogul community.

Sorry if you took that as an offensive comment..I didn't mean it to be.

There have been some broken Burstnet links lately as well.

Sorry...to clarify, the broken banners were in this forum as well as in the leagues.

Good point..I guess we aren't beta testers anymore :-)

The Beta Period officially ends on Sunday night at Midnight.

So you are still Beta Testers.

By and large, if you get a broken banner, it's not our fault.

The banners are served by Burst Media. We just include a call to their site. The LinkExchange banners are also served by Burst, when Burst does not have a paid ad to show.

So if you get a broken link, it usually means that something was misprogrammed at the ad server.

I have been trying to decide whether something about the Burst banners has been causing page loading problems for some users...

Cheers,
James

Banner is one of the most annoying thing in the internet, i hope sportsmogul.com can cancel it all out once we start paying you guys.
