Yeah the go2space banner. Isn't that an ad? i've never clicked on it.

no ad, its just the space where the ad will be going, i have only seen the ads after clicking on new posts......not sure why that haven't appeared elsewhere yet, maybe Andy still needs 2 code it in.

I'll try one of those links to change the search engine but not sure if that'll do anything.

Did I tell you I hate computers?

That won't fix it but will give you google or other search engine. better than that bing crap.

Not really sure whats going on mate.......I'll keep thinking

Success! I downloaded google chrome again and it now works properly. Thanks for your help fellas!

PS - I still hate computers.

Good stuff mate. I've been using chrome for ages and would't go back to anything else

I like chrome as well due 2 it been open source software, but i do prefer 2 use firefox. Internet Explorer is crap and I will only use it for testing purposes.

P.s: Glad you got it sorted Plassy

Yeah I like open source software too.

PS - what's open source software? haha!!

The Open Source Definition

Introduction

Open source doesn't just mean access to the source code. The distribution terms of open-source software must comply with the following criteria:

1. Free Redistribution

The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.

2. Source Code

The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in source code as well as compiled form. Where some form of a product is not distributed with source code, there must be a well-publicized means of obtaining the source code for no more than a reasonable reproduction cost preferably, downloading via the Internet without charge. The source code must be the preferred form in which a programmer would modify the program. Deliberately obfuscated source code is not allowed. Intermediate forms such as the output of a preprocessor or translator are not allowed.

3. Derived Works

The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software.

4. Integrity of The Author's Source Code

The license may restrict source-code from being distributed in modified form only if the license allows the distribution of "patch files" with the source code for the purpose of modifying the program at build time. The license must explicitly permit distribution of software built from modified source code. The license may require derived works to carry a different name or version number from the original software.

5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups

The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons.

6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor

The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.

7. Distribution of License

The rights attached to the program must apply to all to whom the program is redistributed without the need for execution of an additional license by those parties.

8. License Must Not Be Specific to a Product

The rights attached to the program must not depend on the program's being part of a particular software distribution. If the program is extracted from that distribution and used or distributed within the terms of the program's license, all parties to whom the program is redistributed should have the same rights as those that are granted in conjunction with the original software distribution.

9. License Must Not Restrict Other Software

The license must not place restrictions on other software that is distributed along with the licensed software. For example, the license must not insist that all other programs distributed on the same medium must be open-source software.

10. License Must Be Technology-Neutral

No provision of the license may be predicated on any individual technology or style of interface.

Thats bizzar Plassy as any drop down menus or anything you click on will take priority over the banner.

The Go2space is just the company who is going to run the ads. We're still trying out the codes and changing things around which is doing my head in as It's very confusing doign PHP scripts and trying to change code in this forum.
