Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 7,771 Send Message	And there was me thinking it was our new computer and OH not taking on board I liked a bigger font. Aren't Center Parcs + Littlewoods wasting money by having adverts at the bottom - how many of us scroll down that far?

	So silly this is. Scrolled down to see ..... 1911 Census - so clicked on it and it took me to the home page.

	Yes, Julie in the Buff, that was what I first thought. The size of the print is definitely too small if two of us thought that. So would a larger, wider monitor make it easier if I enlarge the print even more, i.e. no need to keep scrolling from side to side? Only problem there is that it would take up a lot of room. Huia.

	Yes, Elizabeth, it still fits the page, but I wouldnt want the print to be any smaller. I used to have it on Larger but having to go to Largest means either my eye sight has got worse or GR have reduced the size of the print. What happens if my eyesight deteriorates or GR reduce the size again? GRRRR.

	Neither Friends Reunited nor GR are now carrying any ads except for themselves which is very interesting. FR had the virus problem a couple of weeks ago, and it was found to be connected with one of their ads. GR has had the same problem during the same period. BUT FR depends on ads for the money to run their site ....... it is a completely free site. so where are FR and GR getting the money from? sylvia

	Hi SylviaIC, I now have two little ads. One on the left of my screen just below the Boards Summary and one right at the top above the Genes Reunited logos. Hardly notice them except when the naked man is there. Well it's a bit hard not to look. I wonder if he gets an itchy nose if he will move his hands. I really like this add button!!

	I have 3 ads on my .co.nz site. They are NZ ads, but not very intrusive. Huia.
