    Thanks for trying JP, but it only expands the current page for me.

    That's all it is supposed to do. We're obligated to serve the ad with each page load.

    Well it wasn't at the bottom before, it was at the top. And we don't have leeway to place it wherever we wish to. The advertiser decides the position they wish to pay for, and we're bound to that agreement. We also thought the RSS feed would be useful.

    Sure. I'd love an RSS feed. But? Where do I find it?

    Regards,

    The RSS Feed is essentially a duplication of the "Oracle News" forum. Personally, I'd rather have more real-estate and check the "Oracle News" forum on my time rather than having the RSS feed taking up 1/3 of my screen showing articles I've already read.

    I think everyone understands the need for advertising on the site. After all, you're not doing this just for fun. However, when the functionality of the site becomes overburdened with ads and irrelavent content, the site will become less usefull and visits will become infrequent.

    I honestly thought this was a coding issue when I first saw it, I figured it would be resolved last Friday.
    I remember when this place was cool.

    It warms my heart to see that I have passed on such wonderful advice to others.

    Shooting developers is always a solution.
