I now know that the ad is a Yahoo Groups Sponsor. One of the messages
has it positioned where the title is visible and the ad is not in a
place to obscure the message. In some cases Polarbar does not position
the ad properly.

I'm using Mozilla tonight but there were no OS/2 Hardware messages
tonight so I don't know how this version of Mozilla will react. If the
ads were there when I was on my old computer using an older version of
Mozilla they were no a bother. I don't remember them.

ICE HTML browser.

Interesting thing just happened. I tried the Hotjava HTML browser and
was told that the Hotjave dll was not on the path and that ICE HTML
browser would be used. Now the offending ads are not there. The text
"yahoo groups sponsor" is there but the ad is not. Yea. Of course the
next download might change that.

Nope. Did you read the help on how to turn on the debug logs and to use

Yes, but I'll lurk on the Polarbar list before I report both
observations as bugs.
