Very interesting...

While the easystart ad is on a page, the last/latest post is not visible. It's only able to be read once someone else has made another post.

I just had a peek at stevenlmeyer's new thread, and there is no post there at all because the easystart ad is on that page. If another ad is on a page, there are no problems.

I suppose this post will appear sometime later - either after a subsequent post or if the ad is not on this page.

Poirot,

Like Graham, I haven't seen the easystart ads either. My problem seems to be the QUT homeloans ad. Which is pretty much the only ad I see - except mostly it is on the side (taking up most of the space), not on the posting page. 99% of the time that ad appears, I have problems. In fact, your latest post didn't appear at all until just now. Just THAT ad on Page 8.

Weird. And still annoying.

Excuse my morbid fascination, but I just read my last post here - and then I came back and it was missing because of the appearance of the easystart ad...then I returned once more and now there is a Dulux ad so my post is again visible. (someone has since posted and now my post is visible, while there's is not)

I read Graham's response where he says he can't see an easystart ad - yet when I went back the easystart ad is there and Graham's post (the last on that page) is gone.

Okay, it's getting even weirder. I just went to stevenlmeyer's new thread - and the same problem - no post just an ad with another ad attached to it in elongated form. It's not easystart but one for CUA personal loans followed by Subaru.

Back again to Steven's thread, and now his post is visible with a different ad (Cover-more travel insurance)

...anyhooo, I'm beginning to wonder if I had too much sugar in my tea this morning : )

The page seems as if it has been right royally IASHed about, viz: http://twitpic.com/b6wfr2

OK, I have logged a complaint with the advertising agency. Will see where that goes. Thanks to Yabby for starting the thread, and everyone else who has contributed. And please don't take this as a signal to stop. Just keeping you up-to-date.

Well, hopefully this post does stop the thread, because they claim to have fixed the problem. Would appreciate it if you could all do your own usability testing and let me know if that is correct. Thanks. Graham
