With a little help from our friends

I am often pleased and surprised by the helpfulness, enthusiasm and ingenuity of our customers. This week's laurels go to Micky Hulse, ace web chap from the Register Guard. I was in Nigeria a few weeks ago (more of that in later issues) with a dreadful internet connection and a lack of time. I was a bit stuck as my favourite image gallery (SmoothGallery) didn't work with jQuery that was already being used for the web templates. I fired off a quick email (actually it took ages to send but I don't want to spoil the narrative flow) and a few hours later Micky replied with an excellent list of jQuery compatible galleries & recommendations. Great job - my butt was saved.

Micky however has continued this helpful streak by starting a WebSpeed user group: which I will implore everyone to support. I'll start the ball rolling by including his list of jQuery compatible galleries.

Tip of the week: PlanSpeed - Where did my ads go?

Over the years one of the most asked questions is: Why did my ad not turn up in PlanSpeed? Luckily for you there is a way to get PlanSpeed to tell you why it didn't load an ad.
1. create or open any plan - just to get the menu bar
2. go to Special Open in the File menu
3. hold down the 'alt' key & double click on the desired plan.
4. the plan will open as normal - however it will also display the text 'extra info enabled' in the loading dialog.
5. any ad not loaded will be listed with some explanation, ie: 'ad 1234 not loaded as set aside'
