Similarly, I use Firefox with Adblock Plus to remove unwanted ads, some of which here and on the DT nearly ruin my browsing experience on my tablet computer (such features don't work anywhere near as well as on my PC) by slowing it down to a crawl. Its the 'moving ads' (movie clips or similar you can't stop - huge resource consumption) that really pee me off - no need, and they often get really annoying.

I could put up with a few static pics advertising relevant stuff (especially ones that don't use cookies to track where I've just been on the site/elsewhere, thinking that's the product I'd like to buy), but not the 'in the face' stuff. Websites need to get the balnce right, and most don't in my view.

Thanks, Avant. I will but is this only affecting a minority? Perhaps it'll pass of its own accord.

I realise what purpose adverts serve but this is big strip of text and images all related to HJ's site ... it appears as I scroll down a thread and obscures about 30% of the text of the posts (on the right hand side). And you can't get shot of it. I seems it appears part way down a thread - not at the top but halfway down the thread then right down to the end of the thread.

EDIT

I now see it's not on all threads. However, as an example, it plagues the thread entitled "Which of these cheap 90's cars as my first car?"

What's happening is the usual strip of adverts on the right is overlaying itself on to the text.

Maybe it's just a glitch and won't persist.

Having had a good poke round other threads it does now look like it's a glitch on that thread. I won't keep on or trouble the contact you gave but ta for the advice.
