Burstnet.com banner ad at top

[SNGX1275]

It doesn't come up. Which then makes me need to hit back twice in IE to get back 1 page. Anyone else having this problem?
Netscape isnt' loading it either, but it seems to be immune to needing to hit back twice.

That's strange... I don't experience the same problem but perhaps some other members are?

Also, do you have any ad blockers installed in your box?

 

[SNGX1275]

Google Toolbar (blocks popups) is the only one, and it doesn't mess with banner ads, at least not that I know of because it seems other banner ads are showing up just fine.

It's working fine for me, but sometimes it hangs up and takes a while to load, but always ends up loading.

In both Avant 802.2.12 and IE6/SP1 I get the message Action canceled.
Opera 7.20 just shows a white empty window.

The question is however if this interrupts your browsing or not really?

 

[poertner_1274]

No, TS loads just fine, but while using opera the progress bar of what is loading at the bottom is stuck on burstnet for about 10-15 seconds. I can hit stop and finish doing everything ok, or just wait for it.

With the new Opera (7.23) here is the ad that is sticking:

Update - it has now affected my browsing habits. I changed from IE to Opera for various reasons, this was among them. But now I can't even get to the forums through my bookmarks, it hangs on loading that ad and the page never comes up, to get around that I have to go to the main page then click the forums link and for some reason that works. But going directly to the forums does not.
