if you add the google toolbar to explorer it blocks all popups.

Oh, I'm not talking pop ups..those have been easy to deal w/ for years now. I'm talking the flash adds plastered @ the top of this & many other sites: find love, get laid, click me..you won...blahblahblah... Either way this site and SO many more are far more enjoyable!

I've been using Firefox as well and like it a lot. Of course I'm on a Mac and Firefox was developed for a Mac. I used to to be on Safari which I still like, but Firefox I like even better due to the enhanced features.

pagead2.googlesyndication.com is responsible for slowing the page. When I try to page or reload, its hangs and gives me this as the target in the lower lefthand corner of the browser.

Also, this forum was held-up as well, but a different targer (media something, but can't remember).

I know ads help pay for the site, not a complaint, just seen this happen yesterday too... -

Don't you mean Linux.

Hmmmm..

I'm running FF 1.0.6 and installed the block for this version, but it seems that most of them are still annoying me. I was going to upgrade to 1.5 but could only find ver. 2.0 and I didn't see a block version for FF version greater than 1.5.

Anyplace I can still get FF 1.5?
