Having problems viewing some of the graphics on our website? Maybe you are, but don't know it.

If you are running the Norton Internet Security (NIS) package or some other Pop-up or Ad blocker read on.

It seems that the NIS program as well as other Ad or pop-up blockers are mistakenly indentifying some of the graphics on our website as Pop-up ads or ads on the page.

Why? We don't know, even after consulting with Norton 8 separate times. The only thing we can think of is that some of the characters in the URL path strings we generate start with the letters AD. In our case, it is an abbreviation for the Amazing Designs products, but to Norton it thinks it is a commercial Ad.

We can assure you we are NOT putting any ads or pop-ups on your computer, so if you want to visit our site and see all the graphics, turn off the Ad Blocker, at least while you are visiting our site.

We are not sure how to turn off any Ad or Pop-up Blocker other than the Norton variety since there are so many out there, but below are the instructions to turn off the Ad Blocker in Norton. By the way, you can turn it back on after visiting our site it you really think it helps you. If you leave it off you may be surprised at what you hadn't been seeing when visiting other sites.

To fix the Norton Internet Security hassle, do the following:

1. Start Norton Internet Security
2. Find the item that says Ad Blocking and if it is turned on, continue.
3. Highlight the words AD Blocking by placing your cursor over it and click
on it to select the item.
4. Move your cursor to the "Configure" box at the right bottom, then click
on it to bring up the Configure page.
5. On the configure page, make sure the item marked as "Turn on Ad Blocking"
is unchecked. If not click on the box until the check mark disappears.
6. Click on OK to save your settings.

Close out the Norton Program
Start (or restart) your web browser (Explorer, Netscape, etc)
Clear the browser cache (erase temporary internet files)
