    But is is a fundimental tradeoff is the question BJ? The ads (or white space) being there is simply a matter of formatting on the page, and formatting can be changed. Now I realize that there are tradeoffs in terms of things like if you move one thing one place something else must be moved somewhere else, or that the decision that it is more desirable to have some object say at the top of the page may preclude moving another object from its locations. But the point is these tradeoffs can be accessed, the formatting is not cast in stone.

    Understand what you're saying JP, which ties to one of the points on tradeoffs I made above. But the question is, having seen it the way it is now that it is the way it is, is this in fact still what's desired. People might have said yes to moving ads off the top before, but without knowing the effect it would cause.

    I was going to suggest putting it at the bottom of the page since you always end up at the bottom if you read the most recent posting and or post to the thread.

    Seems like it just happened though ???

    Or is that just me.

    Any body got any reference sites with layouts including ads and similar other page features to vdr? Maybe to give some ideas and possibilities?

    What the heck is going on there Nix? Like I say, my ads in IE (IE 6 un XP right now, but isn't different on other systems) are never there at the bottom.

    Just switched to a system like yours (ME, IE 5.5, 800x600). And son of a gun I seee what you are saying now. But that looks to be a formatting error/problem. If looks like the add is down at the bottom, but overlaying some buttons.

    Phew thought I was going crazy.

    Maybe it displays differently at lower resolution so as not to use half th screen as white space as per my FF.

    Has to be a 5.5 bug. It was a buggy version. I've tested it on 3 OS , 2 screen res. and with 4 browsers and not once did I see that.
    There is nothing to fear, but life itself.

    Hmm maybe I should start using IE again instead of FF and lower my resolution to 800x600 at work too

    Not a resolution issue cause on ie6 it behaves the normal (bad) way. Like JP said, I see it as an IE 5.5 (or related) bug, or maybe just a deficiency compared to IE6.
