Its annoying me too

Supercell · 24-06-2005 7:32pm

Noticed this in work today too, very irritating, not doing it now so maybe was just the particular ad at the time. If its been fixed already , thanks, loving the new layout btw

Same here.

Attol · 28-06-2005 8:53pm

I did a little experiment. I'm using Firefox as my primary browser so I decided to check and see if the same problem arose with IE. It didn't. So just a Firefox glitch. If you use IE you shouldn't have problems.

Irishstabber · 28-06-2005 8:58pm

Same with Opera :mad:

jor el · 29-06-2005 1:13pm

Yes, the top up ad.

ApeXaviour · 30-06-2005 6:26pm

grr..

Ciaran500 · 30-06-2005 6:45pm

This is when Adblock should be used

Drag00n79 · 30-06-2005 6:49pm

It's annoying alright. C'mon guys, sort it out. As for using IE, I don't think so.

Matthewthebig · 30-06-2005 8:00pm

I have adblocked it. and it just comes back!

airetam_storm · 30-06-2005 8:06pm

Its still not unbrokened :mad:

I had this problem too. The link seems to be changing all the time. When you click to adblock it, instead of adblocking the whole link just put a * after /ads.

This is what should be blocked:
http://www.star-adserver.com/ads/*

Supercell · 30-06-2005 8:45pm

Curses its doing it again with this Top Up Club ad, very very annoying!!

Edit, as req by Dev - Firefox 1.04 running on WinXP SP2.

DeVore · 30-06-2005 8:49pm

Ok, we'll try and fix it but we've had this problem before and come up against a blank wall.

Can you ALWAYS put browser and version number on your reports of errrors as it helps enormously...

If anyone can offer help to fix this please speak up as more brains are always helpful.

I can understand why you adblock it but I would ask that you unblock it when its fixed as its part of how we keep the site running... thanks.

ApeXaviour · 30-06-2005 8:56pm

Firefox 1.0 btw.
It seems only to be happening since the "top up club" banner has been in.

aidan_walsh · 30-06-2005 8:58pm

Firefox 1.0.4.

It seems to be happening with most of the Flash based adverts I've seen stemming from star-adserver, by the way. There is an o2 one, and a War of the Worlds promo one that are doing the same to me.
