It looks something like this: <script async src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-xxxxxx" data-ad-slot="xxxxxx"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); …

Is DaniWeb extremely slow for you?? It's alternating for me between pages being speedy and taking absolutely forever to load. Is this on my end with my ISP?

When testing a CAPTCHA, is it recommended to test that the IP address used to request the CAPTCHA is the same as that used to answer the CAPTCHA?? Is it a concern for people that have dynamic IP addresses that potentially could change pageview-to-pageview?
