I suddenly feel like organising a FISO outing to Universal Studios. Who's in?
More importantly, who knows how to make Molotov cocktails!?

The thing is Dixie that most of us tolerate some very irritating adverts,as the site depends on the revenue to cover costs,but to install such ads shows a complete disregard for the membership and will drive many more to install Adblock

The other sad thing is that it probably wasn't a deliberate choice by admin. The advert serving sites are a law unto themselves at times, and it's not completely unknown for a company providing the ads to cause problems as well. Thing to do is to PM admin who is usually quite good at sorting these issues out once he is made aware of them.

I don't mind Fiso carrying ads - I welcome it - but this is a shocker. It's like the Aviva ads currently bookending Downton Abbey - it will actually put people off the product. And isn't the guy doing the moronic voice-over the same unseen hysterical idiot who does the introductions on the X Factor?

I have informed Adjug who serve the ads that they've put a wrong-sized ad in that space.

It may already have been removed as I don't see it this morning.

(Thanks to Bramernic for sending me a PM informing me of this issue).

I'm sure no one thought for a moment that Admin was responsible for placing it. It was irresponsible of Adjug to do so without due care however. Thanks Chris for your prompt intervention.

I never got it either, but for the last week Fiso has been incredibly slow for me. Do you think that this advert was the cause as it must have been running in the background somewhere. ?

From experience, it is normally worth floating ideas like this in the mysterious world of software. Nothing ventured, nothing gained etc; and if those of us not seeing the ad are getting the freezing etc then it might help solve the freezing issues.

No I don't think the ad would be the cause as it was only just served on fiso last night.

I didn't get the ad or the freezing - does that help? :wink:

I think some ads get blocked but I see plenty too. 2 on the top of the page as I type this.

I won't pretend to understand.....
