I am curious if my IP sniffing geo-tracking software is working correctly. If you are accessing the site from the UK (or UK territories) can you see the British Annex banner/link on the homepage? (upper right)

Thanks,
Jim

Its not showing up for me ether, but then it could be my computer. I've been having some weird things happening when accessing the site lately. Some pages have to be refreshed two, even three times before they load, and then I sometimes find its in a different, larger, font or has a load of gibberish where the banners should be. Its not only this site though, same kind of thing is happening when if visit Track-Link too.

Hmm...well this technology is all IP based and I am not sure the IP database I installed is fully up to date for all areas of the world. However when I change the settings to inlclude the US, the banner appears for me.

If anyone else can/can't see it please let me know.

Thanks,
Jim

Hi, I've just had a look and it is there, just below the Armorama@msn link.

Jim i don't know if this is of any use to you but just out of curiosity i changed my focus setting from armor to default in the "my account" section, I could then see the banner. When i changed my focus back to armor it disappeared again. Hope this helps.

Doh! Yes I should have said the banner is only on the "default" view of the site, not the focus/theme versions.

Thanks that explains a bit.
