This doesn't happen all the time and doesn't seem to appear with IE. This has started happening about 2 weeks ago. Talk about doubleclick!

136807 2003-04-18 22:37:00 I normally block ads, but I just removed the ad-blocking function of my firewall and had a look.

With Opera 7 I am also seeing the double-set of Citrix ads, but with IE6 you only get the single ad ?:| The double-set only seems to happen on the home page as well. They take up a fair bit of screen real estate as well!

Talk about weird.

Just previewed this post and got the double Citrix ad appearing on this page. It must be that particular ad perhaps??

turns Ad Blocking back on again

O I C. Yes I get that too, thought it was just advertising gimmickry. Sure does take up space but I'm used to that.

cheers and happy Oestre. mc

This is what I am using:
Version 7.0
Build 2637
Platform Win32
System Windows XP
Java Sun Java Runtime Environment version 1.4
With my brief look without the Ad-blocker on, it seems only to be the Citrix ad doing the double-display trick, the ICE Expo ad displays normally.

136811 2003-04-18 23:10:00 version 7.10

Platform Win32

136812 2003-04-18 23:54:00 Okay, well I just ran off and downloaded/installed the latest version of Opera:
Version 7.10
Build 2840
Platform Win32
System Windows XP
Sun Java Runtime Environment version 1.4But the double Citrix ad still happens. This confirms that the problem lies with the Citrix ad in combination with Opera regardless of what version you are using.

I have been meaning to upgrade to Version 7.10 anyway :-)

136814 2003-04-19 04:58:00 thanks for replies.

looks like I will have to upgrade to 7.10 (I'm on 7.01 now) but I have been on 7.01 for a while and only noticed this maybe over the last 2 weeks. I normally only upgrade anything only if there is a benefit. This is not annoying or by any stretch of the imagination a big deal, I was just curious as to why.
