I've heard from Panpear that some people aren't able to see the banners she has on her first posts. This could be because of ad-blocking software on your computer. Here's a list of steps that should remedy the situation. (I've only tested it with Symantec Internet Security software, so hopefully the same type of adjustments will work for other software ninja )
1. Bring up your list of blocked ad scripts/html code.
1a. For Symantec users specifically, you bring up your firewall monitor and click Ad Blocking. Then, go to Configure. After that, go to Advanced.
2. Add "photobucket.com" and "www.gaiaonline.com" to your list of pages with customized options.
3. Find one of the websites and click it to highlight it and bring up it's customizable options.
4. Then (again, specifically for Symantec users), go to the Ad Blocking tab and click "Add..."
5. In the window that appears, type in /banner and select Permit.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 for the other website.
7. Proceed to close all the ad-blocking software windows by clicking Ok and it should be fixed.
If there's any problems, let me know and I can see if I can figure it out. (No guarantees though xp xd )
