    Problem with links

    Is it okay that external links which go thru that 15 second delay screen do not work for the first time?

    I always have to press F5 to have them start working, otherwise they just stop on it.

    Screens also lack images - display red crosses in place of them.

    Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

        I always just click the skip link, because indeed the, um, in-betweens do hang. There must be something with the server that serves the ads or something, because it just hangs trying to load the ad.

            I've noticed that those delay screens do not load the Apolyton banner anymore (sometimes the ads are loaded, sometimes not). I end up always pressing "skip", otherwise the page never redirects to the external link.
            I watched you fall. I think I pushed.

              Why would you wait fifteen seconds rather than press skip?

              And why do I occasionally see links that do not take me to the wait page?

                Was anyone listening to me?

                The problem is not in delay, but that nothing happens after the delay.

                I have to press F5 to make anything happen.

                  Clearly, you have not yet told us what browser you are using.

                    *drumroll* the problem has been solved by mysterious force!

                    Seriously, I just tried opening the same external link I did yesterday before posting this, and now it redirects me in both Mozilla and IE!

                    Wonder if grandfather Markos from Poly ilk is responsible..

                    *drumroll again* ..and the missing picture is:
