    I realize JD is a sponsor but it is damn frustrating trying to manuver around them. It’s like they have a magnet on the mouse just to urine you off.

    I thought I was the only one today! Talk about making a guy mad. Looks like they are adds for our local dealers to. Have a great one!

    I don’t get it. It’s just another banner add – different company. What is it about that add that is different?

    If you run your mouse through the ad on the right, the ad steals a third of the page,you don’t even click on it.

    You mouse over it and it expands over the main screen. That doesn’t bother you?

    That is quite simply very poor user interface design. Period.

    It’s either fixed or you guys are making stuff up… I can’t get any adds to expand now.

    Still expanding for me but it’s better than the can-am add that used to be on the bottom. Moused over that sob all the time.

    It still expands if you leave your mouse pointer over top of it. I guess you just need to move over it a little faster….

    Not to mention… that even with it minimized in normal mode… it covers HALF of the IDO logo to the left….

    And it has us talking about it. So maybe Pug is right.

    True if you subscribe to the old adage that there is no such thing as bad publicity. My subscription expired a long time ago so I avoid things that simply p#ss me off

    Lets not make any presumptions here because No.1 Pugs is always wrong. No. 2 The ad is annoying, and the advertiser just blew any chance at selling me their product! Great marketing tool that went sour quick. Excuse me now, I have to hop on my John Deere and drive it off a cliff. right after my anger management class
