Hi there, late as usual!
I've mainly been seeing Neopets things in the topbanner, but every few pages or so I'm still seeing that odd white blank banner (nothing loads in the banner space) and I'm getting a privacy report for tribalfusion that I'd posted an ss in the previous long topic.
Unfortunately, this computer was just reformatted, I didn't realize there was something wrong with the CD-ROM, so I lost just about everything - so I can't re-post that ss. Sorry!
EDIT - found the post and the url for that ss but not the view source stuff, which I know I had:
Yes, site is slow, of course it's always a bit slower for me, being on dial up, but I did just get a RAM upgrade - have 1gig now, so it should be a little faster ... but it isn't. The topbanner is really lagging the pages. Sorry to sound like a whiner, I'm not trying to be, honest. Life was better before the topbanner I feel for all of us and yes, that DOES include you and everyone else who works so hard for all of us.
Games! Just re-read your initial post ... I just d/l DirectX9, Flash and Shockwave (all latest versions on a clean install) - the Slorg Attack Game? Does not want to load, I get a black screen for a few minutes (literally), and finally it will come up. Yes I checked, the shockwave does have that Xtra (whatever that is) and did the test on the Macromedia site and both are installed. Using IE 6 with all the latest updates if that means anything. A couple of the other games load a bit slow, but that again may just be the dial up issue.
Shops - that 100 things on a page isn't working quite right - only items that are older (so in the top 100) are showing up at the top of the shop, otherwise you have to try to go digging for whatever you wanted to buy.
