content: Nothing serious, just curious if the advertisers for the forum is now splitted into SupplyFrame (Findchips) on the top and bottom by Digikey ? Noticed this when I tried to use FindChips at the bottom of the forum.I'm assuming this is good for business ? If it is, then congratz Dave.Edit : Attached print screen as seen from my tablet.

O0You know, I'm not sure I even realized there was a lower ad before this thread, I never scroll down that far, or just don't pay attention I guess. Either way, this site gets points for relevant and unoffensive ads. More sites are wising up to a couple targeted ads over dozens of flashing banners. It's literally good to see.

content: It's not Digikey, it's IHS/Globalspec who are a provider of ad space to various companies like Digikey, Mouser, Ti etcIf they can't fill the ad spot at any point in time with a relevant ad, then it's substituted with a good'ol adsense ad.
