You see this far more often than we ever thought would be the case, and unfortunately it has been an on-going issue. We realize that having proper thumbs\/shots for your website you are advertising is very important as we rely on those images for surfing. And as a member, you rely on those images to get other surfers to view your site!<\/p>\n<p>Tired of seeing these nearly infamous blank screens on ListSurfing, while surfing?
