AD Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Is it 'Lose Yer Shoes' or 'Loose Yer Shoes'?If it's the latter, whoever made the banner up top should at least proofread their advertising.AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark tonin Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Unfortunately this teacher sometimes called hippie type won't be able to make it up there early for some pre-festival camping, but I do hope to make it on Friday night to catch Burt's set.

bouche Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 the banner up top is really annoying me.it blocks where you see if there are new private messages.argh. that looks like an issue with using a flash banner. The menu dropdowns hide behind the flash banner I see.Reload to a regular banner and then you can use the menues. I'll find out if there is a way to force menues to show on top of the flash banner.
