Everytime I click on a thread, it takes ages to load because the banner for the Anita Shreve book appears first (last week it was the same with the Mark Warner ad) and stays on screen for a whil before the thread appears.
It also pops us and hovers randomly at the top of the page when I'm in the middle of reading.
Please make it go away. I'll even go and buy a copy of the book if you make the advert go away, or at least make it stop the pages from loading slowly.
