can't see all the buttons at the top

[jimmyB]

I am using Internet Explorer 6.0.2xx, and I can see the row of buttons across the top from Home/CotM/Cat-elog/etc...all the way across to ZebraPleco.com.

However I can not see the other row of buttons that allow me to check my PMs/Search/LogOut.

When I hit my refresh button on the browser, I see the missing buttons for a brief second, and then the Home/CotM/Catalog buttons cover them up. Any ideas?

Turn of any "ad-blocker" type thing. Not only does it mess up the layout of the page, but you are also robbing Jools of a few pennies because you are not being counted on the adverts. Since Jools has said before he doesn't really want to make planetcatfish a "subscription site", a large portion of the income for the site is coming from the Google adverts.

here is what it looks like. My pop-up blockers are turned off.

But you should have an advert - no pop-ups, but an advert at the top, tot he right of the PlanetCatfish logo. Check if you have any "anti-adverts" settings somewhere stopping this.

It works just fine in Explorer 6 when I tried it - and it's a known problem that ad-blockers are causing this problem, you are about the fourth person to report this "bug" - whilst it would probably be a good thing to "fix" this in some way (perhaps also detect it and display a message to say "Please let us have the advertising money, turn off the ad-blocker").

Being a Canuck, and busy wasting time right now, I'm curious about the adverts. How did Planet Catfish and Nova Scotia link up? Who approached the other one first?

I realise that this is an utterly trivial query.

Via google. They syndicate the advert content. Check out google adwords if you want to find out more.
