    "Default Banner" campaign

    This campaign is absolutely ineffective. The banner ad takes so long to add that I just hit stop, go back, and click the thread I want again which has a new ad. Just thought the advertiser ought to know...

    Jeff,

    Could you go ahead and let the page load, and let me know which ad is causing the problem?

    It's the purple one that waves "Default Banner" that sends you to IBM when you click on it.

    Thanks Jeff. One more thing. The next time you see the ad, would you view the source of the page and send the whole thing to me in email?

    Actually, it looks like a performance problem with bs.serving-sys.com

    Jeff,

    If you (or anyone else reading this thread) should happen to get the page with that ad to load, please send me the source code. We need it to track down the problem.

    If I'm browsing around with IE, some threads show an IBM ad using MicroMedia Flash player (bunch of people walking away from the camera). Source attached.

    If I'm using Mozilla, occasionally I see the "Default Banner". I haven't found the "View source" option in Mozilla.

    Clicking on either, links to the same IBM page.
