rich, it's been swapping and changing for a good half hour or more and site has been running a little slow for me.  It seems to have picked up now and the top banner has stopped changing.

 I think you'll find that link bar has been there for quite some time, although it sometimes disappears when they dress up the logo for a special event, and then comes back when they remove the decorations.  The link bar on the other sites has also been there for yonks, you may recall that admin asked for our feedback on what to name the link to Quicksales some months back.

When I hover the cursor over 'shopping and auctions' I get a little icon which says 'cars'.
All the others are correct e.g. bikes 'bikes' etc.
Is anyone else getting 'cars' on the shopping and auctions space or is it just my PC?

 echo, yes, the background page title says cars, but it doesn't matter what it says when you hover, when you click on it it takes you straight to QS.

sorry, perhaps I didn't explain properly.
At the top of this page (which is already open) it has the headings : cars, bikes, boats, caravans/rvs, trucks, farm, construction, real estate, shopping and auctions, motoring (new).

All the other links are clickable with their little icons appearing when the cursor is hovered on them, cars - cars, bikes - bikes, etc etc but only the shopping and auctions (which is not clickable as the page is already open) shows 'cars' icon.

But maybe I am not seeing the heading which the OP could see.
Not to worry - I was just worried that if a buyer new to the site saw 'cars' under shopping and auctions, then they might not bother clicking on the link.

Thanks anyway.

 I think maybe I didn't explain it well either.  The QS link is not clickable here because you are already on the QS site.  There is no need for a link to here.  The same bar on other sites however, contains a link to Quicksales.  The text that comes up when you hover over the link is just a coding thing, it may or may not represent the destination of the link.  It probably should so it doesn't confuse the user, but it doesn't have to, the link itself is the important thing.

All good now, boo. I opened Firefox and without signing in to quicksales clicked on the bikesales link and then put the cursor on the shopping and auctions link and yeah, it shows: For everything else....buy and sell etc .
So that is good :)

I see we're no longer powered by OZtion.

It's funny, you know, one of the reasons for the change was allegedly that people didn't know how to spell OZtion.

Half the ads I hear on the radio that include websites also include the advertiser spelling out the name.
