Somebody's Banner isn't working correctly, it's just displaying the tiny white box with symbols. I'll refresh a few times and list the ones I am seeing correctly to help by process of elimination. Dark Art Miniatures Battle Foam Ads by Google Bitspudlo.com Waylandgames.co. uk miniaturemarket.com Wargames Empire Bit Kingdom Liber Mortis Feldherr MiniWar Gaming Bits and Kits Chapterhouse Studios TheWarstore Not sure if that's all your advertisers, but I'm sick of hittin the button.  And after multiple refreshes it seems only to happen on the main page for the Forums. EDIT: Just had it happen on a sub-forum, don't recall seeing it in an individual thread yet.

GMM Studios. And Right Now I'm using IE, and windows XP (SP2... I think). I'll go o the computer I originaly saw the eror on (using Google Chrome) and confirm it's the same one. I also copied the shortcut to guarantee you know exactly which it is: http://www.dakkadakka.com/core/adclick.jsp?ad=125&ref=0 EDIT: Yup same one. On Google Chrome no visible info at all, with IE I at least got the red x of doom along with the advert's wording; No image, though.
