    Ads disappeared

    All of the big honking adverts have disappeared. Just thought someone should know, so a search party can be sent.

    Still works here.

    Back when I used Norton System Works, it actually disabled them for about a month (I wasn't using IE either) and then they came back.

    They can be blocked quite easily

    They do usually come and go at random. Just fresh a lot (if you haven't tried yet) and see it they come back.

    Then you can rejoice at the ad merriment.
    My evil laugh has a squeak in it.

    Aaah. Well, just a little suprising then. I've never seen em gone since they were put there.

    Yer, i've tried the old 'Refresh till you drop' lark. But they aint comin back.

    I give some leeway in Forum Feedback but some people are taking advantage of that to chat (and I'm not just talking about this thread). Can we cut back a bit on that please.

    I currently don't have the "BOB" (big ad at top) right now either. I do have a banner ad on the bottom. Generally there are always ads in all of the available positions. Usually there is a 'house ad' when a 'sold' ad isn't present.

    Becaue of this, like you, I am also kind of suprised that no ads are showing in the top position.

    I've seen the ads be intermittant before so I assumed it was by design.
