Oh that's just great ...

... now we have the adverts back in the first post on a thread That generally slows my laptop to a crawl whilst they render and action for the first time. Just when I was enjoying the ad free reads.

Not really complaining, I know how important they are to the revenues, but some of them take absolutely ages. Ah well, never mind.

Brilliant thank you so much - no more flash That's just on my laptop where it's an issue.

Is it one of those old Acers you showed me?

maybe if you click one of the ads it will lead you to a laptop that can cope with flash

I have actually fixed a problem with some of the adverts rendering bizarrly. Can you give it a try again out of curiousity as it may have been this.

ZH: As you ask I'll give it another go this evening.

Zero Hour: The main culprit seems to be the HP advert, most of it is fine but when it goes into the swirl type thing the laptop slows to a crawl. I am well aware that the machine is quite old (yes D-B it is an Acer) but works well for most things that I do on it.

Not really a big issue, just sometimes I get a bit frustrated when the display suddenly stops scrolling. I can live with it, looking on the positive side slowing down may be a good thing for my health
