Default Ad not loading correctly... sample enclosed

Hey guys,

Just logged on and noticed the Hobby Lobby ad is all goofy looking. Don't know if anyone has informed you of this or if it's just my computer.

Here's what it looks like:

seems ok now...maybe you got a partial load before image decompression or the original wasn't uploaded fully when you grabbed it

Hey Marc,

Seemed ok for a day, but now it looks like it did before. Maybe something on my computer... although all the other ads show up fine.

Thanks for your service to our hobby!

Mike

Yup, I had that too. Sometimes it shows up clear, but more often than not it shows up fuzzy....

At first I thought it was deliberate as H L are into electrics...

I'll fess up to what happened. This was very odd. Somehow the add graphic got in there as adname.jpg.jpg and the real ad was in the folder, adname.jpg. Somehow this affected the image. The really weird part was it only affected some and at different times. I have been doing online design for 7 years and have never seen anything like it.
The ad was serious. You guys know how dedicated I am to my glow stuff and I made the ad!

I thought it was kinda funny when earlier today the ad came up half fuzzy and half clear. Refreshing the page sorted it out though. Funnily enough, when it first came up fuzzy, that's what made me click on it...

I prefer the new ad, not that I particularly like Wingo's....

Billy, maybe you ought to pose for the next one!

I already narrowed the possible causes down to either a hardware or software problem...

Thanks, Billy... or should we call you Mr. Hell... or Jim... or Mr. Graham...

Mike
