They seem fine to me looking at a home point of veiw.

 

our LEA block the Ads! so i cant support them when i am at work..

I see these sort of things quite often.

The ads seem to have a transparent background so you can see the blocking message through it...

I get this as well, even on my home computer where advert blocking is not switched on. I agree about the transparent backgrounds.

Not very supportive of the site though...

I dont mind having the ads - just odd that half the ad appears to be both blocked and allowed at the same time?

Sorry not me that does the blocking, but the YHGfL or the LEA.

The thing that says you are blocking ads is the actual frame, and the adverts sit on top of that. So when ads are blocked, you see the bsf crying frame. (a decent adblocker just removes the whole frame )

 

So as said before these ads are semi-transparent, and as such showing the frame below.
