Dear Monks,
I tend to load load of perlmonks pages a day and I really appreciate this site.
One thing however seems strange to me. Why won't the ad-banners be cached? Here at the perlmonks I usually see some 4 different banners (OK, only the VA Linux in the last few days) and they seem to get reloaded for every single page. It's an effect I don't see at the (german) Heise Newsticker for example.
It's just fine to have some kind of banner lurking around but it's simply a waste of bandwidth when they don't get cached (which doesn't disturb me at all at work with the DSL connection and all, but at home with the good ol' Analogus Modemsus).

Am I completely nuts and is this behaviour just an error of mine er what?

Regards
Stefan K
