Foster Coburn has jumped in with two "Special Deals" for our members.
Check out his banner ad in the "Special Deals" section, by clicking on the graphic located at the top of this page.

David,
I am seeing a blank white space where a banner should be.

Hmmm...Foster's banner is a Flash (swf) file, which is clickable on two sides. The rest of the banners are jpegs.
I just checked and I can see and operate the banner.
I'll email John Fish.

Do the people that cannot view the ad have Flash installed?

Carl,
That's the obvious question. I guess it's assumed everyone does.

David,
On my work computers I can see it via Netscape, but not via MS Internet Explorer.

On my IE there is no blank white space and no indication something is missing.
I intended this go to DGL.

It could be the version of the flash plugin you have in IE. Netscape and Mozilla people have a tendancy to upgrade their plugins more often.
If the Graphic was made in Flash 7 or 6, it won't show with the flash 5 plugin.

I just upgraded to flash 9 and re-booted. Still no banner for Foster.

Sheesh, I'd hate to have to put "Only viewable in Flash 7" on it....
We may have to restrict the banners to jpg, gif and png unfortunately....

I see the banner, but don't see any animation or any other reason why it would need to be a flash file. Just looks like a static image with a link.
The only difference is that since it's a flash file the link you are about to go to (if you click it) is not shown at the bottom of the browser.

The reason for the attempt with flash was to have two links, one for each of the offers. Our Guru, John, is working to get around needing flash to do that and still having it easy for us moderators to use.

Ahh.. I didn't click it, and since it doesn't show the URL in the status bar I didn't know there were two links.
The HTML method would be to either have two images, or to use an image map tag.

Everyone should be able to see it now with the 2 links mapped left and right.
