[ScifigirlSG]

yes

I just started having this same problem the other day. I tried closing my browser and opening it, to see if it would fix the problem

One of the Ads is being blocked by my firewall/antivirus, I'm not sure which one it is but it's being blocked for good reasons.

VIPRE has determined that the site

Where were you seeing that message? Was it only on a particular page of a thread ?

The more details you can give,the better chance of Darren zatting the ad.

Top of the page banner ads that have the "AdChoices" tab/button/thing in the top right of the ad break the menu.

A bouncing ball type add showed up asking to take a survey. I think it was Safenet.com...

On certain computers I've been using, I've had the Forum place for Ads come up but the rest of the page never appears. Especially when an Ad with a bunch of arrows with something relating to Icons appears.

I can't get that ad to appear,probably because the ads are regional,but I'll see if the USA based Mods can find it and take the details.
If it comes back and you have a moment ,can you take a screenshot to embed here?

Anyone else see the ad ? Same request .Ty in advance for any and all help.)

Sounds like a slow ad or an adblocker cutting in and causing a lag.

If you can take a screenshot of that specific ad or the view of the blocked page,that'd be v helpful.

I haven't seen that ad since I reported it. It appeared between the GW homepage and the main forum page

Thanks Sue.

It may have came off the ad rotation because normally advertisers only have a few days to ply their wares,but if it reappears,please let us know.

I haven't seen the ad since I posted about it! If I see it again, I'll try to get it to your attention.

Thanks!

That'd be great ! Thanks!

The following link is of an advert that may break our child friendly policy.

It popped up just above the quick reply box.

Every time this ad tries to load, the entire page freezes - ib.adnxs.com It's happened a half-dozen times or so this afternoon in different threads, always the same ad.

I can't figure out which ad hates my tablet, but it is probably the same one. It causes my web app to crash.
