	Scream The Mazda advert is the one causing problems at the moment. Login and wait for Home Page to load. Okay sometimes but a bit slow. When I get something about mookie running at bottom of screen then the problems begin. It mentions Mazda in Market Wraps or Quantcast/Mazda. It freezes the tab and then freezes my internet.

Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 118 Send Message	GB - Adverts.. what adverts? Try running Adblocker - it's available for various different browsers - I've been running it with Firefox for ages and I never see any ads these days. Wonderful! And it's free - just google it. Simon

	Certain that the adverts are again causing problems on this site. If when I login to this site the homepage takes for ever to load but if I get across the bottom of the screen some message that mentions "mookie" then this site freezes

Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 2,821 Send Message	I had a problem with the ads a while back. When I was looking for matching names, the ads covered the right-hand side of the list, couldn't see who "owned" the name. Contacted GR, got the usualy blah blah........ please tell us exactly what you were doing etc etc, I have tried that with your tree and don't get the same problem, blah blah...... it went on for a few weeks, then stopped. Don't tell the sponsors, but I never look at the ads :-)

	This problem is back again White advert box and white page under the board heading. Wait for something to happen and it is as if the site has frozen and then having to hit the refresh button

	When the site has problems or an upgrade is happening would it be feasible and helpful to drop the adverts while the situation exists and to replace them with a message indicating that there is a problem or upgrade in progress.

	I have to say that I do not see many ads ...... just the constant ones for other sites in the brightsolid stable, that run across the top. At the moment I am being invited to join Friends over Fifty ---- find thousands of genuine singles today :-0 That's alternating with Oranges and Sunshine, which has been there for months, and I still have little idea what that's all about! I have AdBlocker permanently turned on ...... and it works beautifully! i guess this means that I am only seeing ads that GR itself is putting up. Please, try AdBlocker those of you who are having problems with ads! sylvia

	Hi Gai, the Ancestry ads should have been removed at the end of last week. Could you please let me know if you still see them? Thanks.

	Why are some adverts running higher on the page than others? The Halifax advert top edge is higher than the white box on right hand side of page - which has the Add to Favourites and Read GR Blog Lexus, Orange, Radisson, Scotrail and Manchester Airport adverts are lower and seems to cut off the bottom of the ad. In fact the only one that seems okay is the Halifax advert

	Whatever the cause, the slowness of this site has become appalling and it is time that Bright Solid spent some money on making it more efficient.

	Thanks Phil, I have emailed you and so far only one has bounced back. Hope the others have come though OK. Katie at GR was going to put my email address on the white list they have so I can send emails to GR but this hasn't happened. In regards to the Ancestry ads I have sent the screen shots to Estelle.
