Oh, oh, Lowell, a bug has appeared.........

**old guy** · July-02-09, 05:22 PM

Yeah, wassup?

**Homer** · July-02-09, 05:26 PM

Watch out for those Black Helicopters. Get out the tin foil hats. Detyesers are under attack.

**Crumbled_pavement** · July-02-09, 06:00 PM

Why Lowell, why?

**Whaler** · July-02-09, 06:03 PM

Hey Lowell this thing has gone freaky

**Maof** · July-02-09, 06:19 PM

XXXXXwackyXXXXXXX and everything is BIG and i'm clicking on an empty box to post [[but i knew what it was anyway)

**Johnlodge** · July-02-09, 06:20 PM

Google ads! All is lost!

**Jimaz** · July-02-09, 07:20 PM

I spotted a Google ad for medical marijuana.

And I found a phantom forum at http://www.detroityes.com/mb/forumdisplay.php?f=2

Yeah, sorry about that; this is costing a lot. Got a better idea?

What is the problem?

**Brittz** · July-02-09, 09:29 PM

I like the new format. Thanks to the mod.

Nope. Except maybe dues, or a per post fee [[sorry, bats).
And keep the Shamwow and Viagra ads to a minimum!

**Novine** · July-02-09, 10:09 PM

I don't mind the ads. I didn't even notice them until it was pointed out. If it helps Lowell pay the bills, keep them. But can you make the display wider? It seems to have shrunk.

**gazhekwe** · July-02-09, 10:14 PM

I was getting two sidebars and just a thin little sliver of posts. Then I right-clicked and found a "Show this frame only" choice in the menu window. I clicked it, and presto, the page was back to normal. Lookin' good, too.

**rajdet** · July-03-09, 07:20 AM

The new page looks good, it's crisp and clean. These are tough times you gotta' do what you gotta' do. At lease the adds aren't blinking or popping up in the middle of a paragraph I'm trying to read. Good job Lowell! Now where's the sports forum?

Where did you right click?

**gazhekwe** · July-03-09, 09:36 AM

Near the top of the threads area in the middle. I tried it just now, and don't see that choice, but I am now seeing just the one sidebar on the left, the threads and the Google ads on the right.

Oh, there is is in the Google sidebar!
It's between Select All, Yahoo, THIS FRAME, View Page Source.
When you click this frame, you get another menu that gives you options what to do with the frame. Don't do it to the Google frame in case you can't get back to the threads, as it is just for the Google part.

I saw an ad for Warren Evans for mayor!? I clicked on it about 20 times...the advertisers pay X amt for the space and Y everytime someone clicks on their ad.

I figured Warren has been stealing from me for so long, thought I'd return the flavor.

Lowell,
I don't know if it is a better idea, but, as per O. B.'s promise,
My STIMULOUS PACKAGE arrived and I thought of buying a new Cadillac.

**tponetom** · July-03-09, 11:39 AM

Tpone continuing:
Damnation and Hell's fire. I know I am slow but that post of mine jumped the gun. I was going to say: "In the immortal words of "Dolly Levi," MONEY is like MANURE! you have to spread it around to make it do any good!
[[The check is in the mail.)

**Lowell** · July-03-09, 12:15 PM

Thanks for the kind remarks. Thanks also to Tpone, Ray1936 and many others [sorry if I omit your name here] who have sent donations over time and the rest of you for putting up with a little revenue-raising turf on the right.
