Default would someone NOT in the U.S. check something for me please?
If you are not in the U.S. would you click this link and tell me what you see? Please let me know if you see a box and what color it is. If you see it, please let me know what ISP you use.

Thanks for playing along

No problem I'm testing something that is supposed to display certain things depending on what country you are in. This was set to display only in the U.S. and I wanted to see if it really worked

Thanks!!

Btw, your ISP is your internet provider - AOL, Shaw, etc. AOL might be tricky since even UK users show up as in America because of the AOL location in Virginia, so that's why I wondered if any AOL UK users might see it.

I'm in Canada, and I don't see the box.

BTW Suzanne, I don't know if you have any veto on the banner ads shown to Canadian users, but there is one for President's Choice chocolate chip cookies that I see all the time and it kinda drives me crazy.

I'll see if I can find it and remove it. I looked but didn't see an ad campaign under that name, but sometimes they are listed under different names and it's hard to figure out what they are for. I'll dig around
