broken ads (w00t)

[valhallen]

hrm anyone else gettin this? seems to have stopped now but for a second looked like there was problems with wherever is serving their ads

the ad was replaced with this :::

var _nRequiredVersion = 5; var flash2Installed = false; var flash3Installed = false; var flash4Installed = false; var flash5Installed = false; var flash6Installed = false; var flash7Installed = false; var _nMaxVersion = 7; var _nActualVersion = 0; var _bIsRightVersion = false; var isIE = (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") != -1) ? true : false; var isWin = (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Windows") != -1) ? true : false; if(isIE && isWin){ document.writeln(''); document.writeln('on error resume next'); document.writeln('flash2Installed = (IsObject(CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.2")))'); document.writeln('flash3Installed = (IsObject(CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.3")))'); document.writeln('flash4Installed = (IsObject(CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.4")))'); document.writeln('flash5Installed = (IsObject(CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.5")))'); document.writeln

That message used to appear for me if I clicked a link before the page had fully loaded (i.e. before the Flash ad was displayed) - I presume it's some JavaScript intended to check whether Flash is installed and if so which version.

Strangely enough though, I haven't seen any of the square flash ads for a while now, they seem to have disappeared off the front page and the topic pages (I noticed it more on the forums because there's a huge white square space there now in the top-right corner). I'm not bothered about this, to be honest I got sick and tired of seeing the same ads over and over again anyway, but is it down to an as yet unannouced site benefit? I don't block any ads (other than pop-ups/unders) and I only deny cookies from google.co.uk and advertising.com.

Edit: Damn! They seem to have re-appeared again now. Next time I'm not saying anything.

I don't see any ad's..?

[.:front2back:.]

Ad's? What Ad's?
That's right since installing that Ad Blocker i now don't have to worry about going blind from all the bright colours flashing onto my eyes..
The only Ad's i like to see are the one's on Television
