For the one or two LXer regulars who also visit Linux Today- aren't those Novell ads a hoot? They didn't learn a thing from the "Linux Resource Center" (sponsored by Microsoft) debacle, and have found an even more annoying ad format. For y'all deprived souls who are missing out- when you click on a story link, you are treated to the upper left corner of the "page" folding down to cover the story, with a Novell ad underneath. It goes away after a few seconds. It does not work in Konqueror, so hurrah for borken javascript. :) Or whatever makes it go. I keep wondering why Linux Today is continually the victim of these atrocities. They don't seem to infest other Jupitermedia sites. |

Tux: unless things have changed, it's because LT had a lot of traffic. I've seen (on other sites) those "peel" ads you're talking about. they suck. Fortunately adblock is a great plugin... |

Did they ever do away with those deceptive MS ads? I added LT to my firewall configuration months ago and haven't been back. |

Never been back to LT, i like my news sites simple and uncluttered just like my head :) |

Koriel: here here! And I like the html layout to be nice and flat, just -er- nevermind. I like the html layout of LXer! |

I'd like to add my vote for the refreshing simplicity of LXer.com. Functional, professional looking, and *FAST*. |

That's the goal! And, in fact, you can even customize LXer to your own liking through your member preferences page. You can make it heavy with ads or light-for-lynx. :-) dave |
