Any update as in "any fix". I suspect more and more people are blocking cookies except for known sites, and ones with "ads" in the name are particularly likely to be shunned. Perhaps, if no cookies are detected, ads.postgresql.org opens to a simple page that states that since cookies are not enabled, it cannot tell which ad you clicked on, but presents a clickable list of all sponsors/ads for the site, so the user can find the one in question they were interested in. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@turnstep.com PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200509061114 https://www.biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEARECAAYFAkMdsnUACgkQvJuQZxSWSshiTwCg1aZRmrIKEYf4eNLLDcux4hi4 6o0AoOEzYaJrpUPYPZZqdq43S8r3XJUg =Rwfj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
