Just noticed there's a new sponsor! And pointing it out to those who HAVEN'T noticed it for whatever reason!

Do you mean Graham's new clarinet company Forte?
If you do, he said pictures should be on the site sometime this week, and it should be quite contemporary looking.

I have had no luck finding the "Sponsors' Page" since the change of format of the BB. Where is it please?

The Sponsors are within the categories listed on the right hand side of every page. Right under where it says:
"'The Clarinet Pages' is sponsored by:"

Thanks Mark, but all I get is the "Classifieds", whereas before the page used to have sponsors' logos (e.g. The Doctor, A.Galper and many others) and web page access. Is that gone or am I just failing to find it?

Scroll down just a bit - there 9 categories on the right, displayed in random order each time you load the page. "Classifieds" is just one of 9.

I realise I had the same problem as you, seeing only the classified ads only.
Then I disabled my firewall and reload the pages... and the categories all came up.

The enabling/disabling of a firewall has NO effect on the appearance or not of those right hand boxes - they're all drawn with the exact same code! I can't imagine what was going on! (unless you're blocking by word and "Sponsors" is in your "bad word" section - but that's nothing to do with the site.)

I played around with my internet security settings (I'm using Norton Internet Security) and finally realised what the problem is.
Everything will appear fine when I turn off the Ad/Popup blocking function. There's no blocking of any specific words.. just a general popup blocking feature.. but I wonder why is that considered a popup??

Weird. All the boxes on the right "pop up" new pages (as does the search panel and a bunch of other things ... I'll check & see if there's some other subtle difference).

I checked around ...
Norton PopUp blocker & AdWord blocker will delete A LOT of legitimate stuff on the pages, including the banner on the top of the page and the boxes on the right hand side. The HTML code gets re-written to edit out the links!
I understand editing out pop-unders & pop-overs that you didn't ask for (I use the Google pop-up blocker which does exactly that), but re-writing of the HTML source on the viewed page along with blocking pages that you ask for (with a target="_blank" directive on a link) are over-agressive IMNSHO.
If you can, set .woodwind.org as an acceptable zone.

Doc/Graham:
I can't wait to see the Power Barrel: "quite possibly the worlds most complex, and mathematical clarinet accessory available." That sounds scary cool!

I think Icecoke is right. When I disable the Norton Firewall all the sponsors appear as described by Mark. Thanks.

A free pop up stopper that works well on woodwind.org is made by panicware.com. You can also overide blocks with the control-click.
However, another thing that can block proper page diplays are timing errors in the network servers. Several years ago a major network provider made an update with an amperand in the wrong place in the code and anyone on the service in the US was only able to download about half of a normal web page. If an externally served banner took too long, none of the page was transmitted. Took about a week to track down the issue.

Another effective free popup blocker is the Google one (I use the Google Toolbar with the blocker all the time for searches & popup blocking, as well as the Merriam-Webster toolbar for looking up spelling & meanings of words().
