3 is not a magic number for Opera users

Dunno if its just my version of opera

Version 9.51
Build 10081

Win 32 Vista

But the flash ad from mobile operator 3 causes the browser to slow to almost the point of freezing. If I hit close it will after about 20 seconds the other pages that might be open are unusable until the page with the 3 ad closes.

I had the same kind of problem with the square-ish PS3 ad at the bottom in I think the PS3 forum on 3 different laptops running Opera and Vista. Running 64 bit in Windows 7 is fine though. Doubt this helps, just thought I'd mention for the devs you're not the only one having trouble with the ads.

Does it happen with browsers other than Opera?

What version(s) of Flash Player exhibit the symptoms?

Typicaly no page is showing a 3 ad this lunchtime.

When I spot one I'll get back to you.

The similair ads from Vodafone and O2 are not having the same effect.

I use Opera and I just block ads if they annoy me. Right-click on a blank area of the browser window, select Block Content from the pop-up menu, click on the offending ad and you should be all set.

Oh I did that but then realised it would rob boards of income (not that I ever click a phone ad anyway) and would make it harder to fix any problem. So I found a blocked example of a 3 ad and unblocked it.

Still no stumbles though. Maybe it was just one of those things...

mike65

Bump, here is the ad thats causing the problem.

Conor

OK. Cool.

And what version of Flash are you running?

mike65

version 10.
