when I refresh sometimes the ad only comes up, or the ad comes up and the page follows a lot later. It's very annoying, they normally load with the rest of the page and are easy to ignore.

I think MNHQ might be a little too busy at the moment to deal with this! Presumably the site is getting a lot more traffic at the moment, which may explain the delay. Perhaps once everything settles down again, the problem will stop.

i am on aol and its on teh bottom of the window that MN is open on. sorry i dunno where to get it from!(am not tech minded)

I have only got the boden ad on I thought they had taken all the others off to speed up the site..I don't have any across the top at all

I agree wwb, but I thought maybe they need to be aware of it at some point. I keep getting a phone one now, which isn't quite so bad. Before that it was a red one, abbey national I think, which was really freezing it up.

I don't think it is the ads - I keep getting this delay as well but it is not just MN. Every now and then every site I am using seems to go on a bit of a go slow at the same time and then suddenly speed up again.

Happened a few minutes ago, now up to speed again.

where are these ads? on the talk page? I guess they must be blocked by norton

Oi zippi watch your language

N%&n are a pile of ....

SoupDragon · 10/08/2006 13:08

Agree with Zippi - the ads were removed to speed up loading.

SaintGeorge · 10/08/2006 13:27

Some were Soupy but there is still a banner ad at the very top of the page, currently for C & G but it changes.
