Animated "Save up to 37%" adverts on here!

[Adrena1in]

Are these killing anyone else's connection performance on the forums? For me they slow my browsing down by about a factor of 30 while they're on screen, and I'm finding I can hardly use these forums anymore. Can't turn the banners off either.

(It's just taken at least 5 minutes to write this post, because my cursor keeps going blank and pausing for 20 or 30 seconds at a time!)



Oh, and I'm on a work connection, so extremely fast.

Not had any problems like that.

The snow flakes are quite annoying though!

Can we get an option in the edit section so we can turn this distraction off?

I know we had a problem with this a while ago and thought I had it fixed but latterly my connection (Mozilla) has been taking longer and longer, all these 'waiting for ad . . .' messages, some of which are german (.de) sites.

unfortunately I can't remember how it was fixed last time.

You can't blame GM for advertising their mag though. I wonder how many freeloaders there are on the forum i.e. non-subscribers to the mag.

I don't subscribe but i buy every month, so does that make me better than the cheapo's who saved money by subscribing?

Absolutely

Look on it as being similar to a green fee payer. You are helping keep the cost down for the members.

It's the "waiting for rumpy pumpy" messages from the Dutch sites that are slowing YOUR computer down Steve.

I'm a non-subscriber, and I don't blame them at all for wanting for advertise the mag. I just hate the gact my browser grinds to such a halt when the advert is there that I don't spend more than 2 minutes o the frmsm..
