Damn Bing

[chillyuk]

I use Firefox 3.6, or IE8, and Vista.

On this laptop my home page, UK MSN doesn't fill the whole screen, but leaves a border all round about an inch and a bit wide. This border was a pale blue, but suddenly today it has turned black and there is a wording that says Bing, skins on. Click on it and the screen reverts to the pale blue. As soon as I leave the home page, then return to it, the border reverts to black and I have to click on the Bing skins thing to get back to blue.

Its not the end of the world, but I find the black distracting. Can I get back to how it was, pale blue all the time.

This happens on Firefox and IE.

try signing out of the site and see if it makes any difference.

Well, I don't know.

I have had the black border all morning, then went out for a couple of hours and when I came home and turned the laptop back on everything had reverted to as I like it.

I think it may be something to do with advertising. Last week I had a very intrusive car advertisement for a couple of days, now this week this Bing whatever it was.

Microsoft's latest attempt at a search engine.

Presmably therefore bloated, buggy and insecure. Go Chrome!
