How can you identify a ad or script if you have clicked the yes button to remove it.

849242 2010-01-17 04:00:00 I suspect its This particular ad (www.imagef1.net.nz) - It seems every single time its running, the page gets that flash error message if you try to navigate to another page, any other ad running it doesn't do it. wainuitech (129)
849243 2010-01-18 03:01:00 SUCCESS!
Has anyone noticed that the ads have been changed from flash ads to text ads? Here's why. I got this reply from the webmaster today:

Hi Ryan

Thanks for your email. We’ve checked the site to see if we can locate the script problem. The most likely source for the script problem you’ve experienced would be the Google Ads that appear at the top, the side and the bottom of the forum. Your screenshot shows that the side skyscraper is the likely culprit. One of the other users on the thread you created also thinks it is the Ironkey ad along the side.

We’ve changed the ads to text ads to see if that resolves the problem. If it doesn’t please let us know.

Regards

849244 2010-01-18 03:08:00 The site still is loading like a snail on tranquilisers anyway. Sweep (90)
849245 2010-01-18 03:22:00 Tried IE again just now , yesterday it was :sleep flash error etc, now it loads in about 2 seconds -- Thats fine by me :thumbs:

Edited: just emptied the cache just in case it was "helping" 3-4 seconds from clicking the bookmark to fully open - no errors.

849246 2010-01-18 04:10:00 It has improved since I posted. Must have been a temporary glitch. Sweep (90)
849247 2010-01-18 04:25:00 I received this email today

Hi Gary

Thanks for your feedback. We’re keen to hear about any issues you have with the forum and how we can improve it. We’ve had some feedback today from users who were having problems with slow loading pages and script not loading, so we’ve made some adjustments to the Google Ads on the forum to see if they alleviate the problem.

As for design changes to the forum – that is on our list of priorities to fix when we make changes to the PC World site. We will try to address all your concerns then.

If you have any further suggestions, please drop us a line.

Regards

Edward Porter
