    Okay until this post I hadn't even noticed them, then realized there was one at the top of the page. I don't know if it is the fibro-fog or tunnel vision but I guess I have been blocking them out. The ones that bug are the ones that move across the page so you accidently click on them, fortunately I don't there are any of those on this board.

    I have been on this forum for 3 years and never ever seen flashing adverts. Perhaps as someone says you need to adjust your cookies or block something or other.

    I have FF and don't see them - I also have AdBlock, HIGHLY recommend, esp. if you have dial up. Pages load a lot faster without Flash ads.

    A lot of times, you can press the ESC key and it'll stop the flashing/animations. It doesn't work 100% of the time, but it does help.

    I use FireFox with AdBlock Plus, and don't see any ads at all, anywhere. :-)

    I haven't seen them either. I know by computer put something on here, but I don't know what it is. As for the other ads, I have actually clicked on some and found them to be of help.
