I agree with you that it's Yahoo loss. It's something they need to sort out. Surprised that they ignore the robots.txt file though :( Perhaps they are adopting Microsoft attitude to good practice in advance of any takeover.

Reading the net the 'odd' Yahoo IP does ignore the robots file, and according to Yahoo, each IP only checks the robots file now & again, not every visit, so it could be months between readings. Stupid idiots!
They still have access to my other 50+ sites, and the article site is duplicated twice elsewhere (with SEO changes) so they still have access in a way. I'll just avoid putting a sitempa on them.

What slows down my reading of this site is the time taken to fetch the little adverts which appear at the top of each page! :(
Perhaps I need to check the configuration settings in FireFox.
Works fine on broadband

Hey, I AM on broadband ... Philippines broadband!
Rob suggested I try Adblocker, and it works a treat ... many thanks Rob!
Nice of Rob to make sure the site earns bugger all

Sorry Keith, I know that it's how you fund the site, but I really did find it was a pain to wait 30 seconds, or more, every time I open a new page.
Perhaps we need a little script which will keep fetching the ads when I'm not trying to read the forum!
I don't even wait 1/100th of a second per page. One reason I'll never live in the Phil, couldn't trust the utilities to keep my business going.

As it happens, mornings, often I cannot log on at all.
"cannot find the page"......
Page cannot display for about 5 hours
Is it about my WGA I need to disable soon
Don't make promises when you are in JOY. Don't reply when you are SAD.
Don't take decisions when you are ANGRY. Think twice, Act wise. BE happy.
