There are several new posts a day--busier, in fact, than I'd expected it to be. _________________ —David http://www.t-gauge.net/ http://1-450.blogspot.com/ Back to top DPN Joined: 12 Sep 2008 Posts: 3 Posted: Sat Oct 04, 2008 8:45 pm    Post subject: Re: Cricket Chirp David K Smith wrote: DPN wrote: Does anyone else get a "cricket chirp" on this site??? DPN Not sure what you mean. There are several new posts a day--busier, in fact, than I'd expected it to be. I love this site, and I'm about to move from Z scale to T. But sometimes, when I visit your site, I hear, through my computer's speakers, a repeating, cricket sounding "chirp". It's not unpleasant, but I was curious if this was happening for anyone else... Keep it up!

I have a sneaking suspicion it might be produced by one of the ads that run at the bottom of the page. That's the only thing I could think of that would make sense. _________________ —David http://www.t-gauge.net/ http://1-450.blogspot.com/ Back to top DanMacK Joined: 04 Sep 2008 Posts: 127 Location: London, Ontario, Canada Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2008 10:41 am    Post subject: I've heard it too, and I think it is one of the ads _________________ Regards, Dan MacKellar Back to top JohnDMJ Joined: 21 Sep 2008 Posts: 34 Location: Hampshire - UK Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2008 11:57 am    Post subject: DanMacK wrote: I've heard it too, and I think it is one of the ads It is!

Absolutely. This forum doesn't cost a dime. Which is a good thing, sine it leaves me with more to spend on T Gauge. _________________ —David http://www.t-gauge.net/ http://1-450.blogspot.com/ Back to top pray59 Joined: 05 Sep 2008 Posts: 88 Location: Fremont, CA Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2008 3:14 pm    Post subject: haha! I have the speaker on my work computer in the back by all the lasers. I was hearing the cricket chirp, and then it started getting louder. I did not know where it was coming from, so i checked all the lasers, and all the chillers. I could not find it, so I gave up. So I went back to my computer and went to another site, and never noticed the chirp had stopped. This morning it started again, but only on the F40PH topic. I scrolled down to the bottom of the page and there was that blue wiggly screen that says to check your computer with their software. It's that add banner that causes it. _________________ -Robert Ray Back to top JohnDMJ Joined: 21 Sep 2008 Posts: 34 Location: Hampshire - UK Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2008 3:49 pm    Post subject: David K Smith wrote: JohnDMJ wrote: Still, I guess the site has to be funded by some method!

If they're not funding the site, what is their purpose apart from, in one case, providing the annoying chirp?

If they're not funding the site, what is their purpose apart from, in one case, providing the annoying chirp? Let me clarify: it's the ads that pay for the site, instead of me. I could have the ads removed, but then I have to pony up a hosting fee. _________________ —David http://www.t-gauge.net/ http://1-450.blogspot.com/ Back to top JohnDMJ Joined: 21 Sep 2008 Posts: 34 Location: Hampshire - UK Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2008 6:19 pm    Post subject: That's what I thought,and thanks for the clarification, but your comment David K Smith wrote: Absolutely.

Yes, it's the "you have a message" ad. _________________ —David http://www.t-gauge.net/ http://1-450.blogspot.com/ Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Talking T Gauge Forum Index -> Welcome!
