The tab I mentioned in my prior post that still had a spinning clock STILL has a spinning clock.

Since Dmitry is such a swell guy, I thought I might help him out a bit.

The problem (this one, at least) seems to be related to banner advertising (surprised?). The page has entirely rendered except for the bottom ad. Here's what I get when I click on the "AdChoices" arrow in the upper right corner of the space where the ad SHOULD be:

Who placed this ad?This ad was delivered by RadiumOne.

DividerWho is RadiumOne and why am I seeing an ad placed by this company?RadiumOne is an online ad network. Through our unique Sharegraph ™ process, we enable advertisers to identify people who are most likely to interact with their ads.

DividerHow does RadiumOne select ads to show me?The ads that RadiumOne selects may be customized based upon sites that you have visited, interactions with our ads, your geographic location, or other factors. Please read our privacy policy for more details about our ad selection process.

DividerWhat choices do I have about receiving advertising?People who do not want to receive customized ads can opt out of the ad matching process (also known as "behavioral advertising"). If you opt out, you will still see ads, but the advertising you see will not be customized to suit your interests. Learn more about your RadiumOne opt-out options and exercise your choice by clicking here. For information about the partners we work with and your opt-out options for them, click here.

I bet if a diligent person would spend the time to track down issues like this, he could have a profound impact on the performance of the entire SI experience.

Now, all we need is somebody who CARES about such stuff.

And, yes, that window is STILL clocking. I'm beginning to lose hope.

Help me Obi Won Kenobi, you're my only hope !!

Dmitry -- I'm going to skip the quote about censorship this time. There are so many to choose from I'm having trouble deciding which one you would like the least. Besides, if we have to wait so long for responses, then you should have to wait for your daily dose of censorship quotations. It's only fair.

Sure is a pretty day.
