US Navy banner ad prevents FT pages from loading
A Navy banner ad hosted by a.tribalfusion.com prevents FT pages from loading. I worked around it by reloading my etc/hosts file from someonewhocares.org -- is this what you really wanted?

Tribal Fusions seems to do NO testing on their ads... I have more than one system that locks up IE or Firefox (both XP w/Latest Service Packs + Security CHanges + Latest Sun Java) whenever their pop up ads occur.
Also seems od that FT is the *ONLY* site where pop ups still seem to get around my pop up blocker. Something isn't right in the way these guys test, distribute and force their ads.

I can't stand ads with noise since we're mentioning the US navy one.
I need to have my speakers on at work for incoming messages and alarms and when it pops up every 3rd page, gotta rush to close it.

I'm having a problem also, the initial page of Flyertalk loads very fast with no banner's, however when I try to navigate to/from the different forums and post it can take up to 2 minutes to load the various pages. Down on the left hand part of my screen it says: Connecting to a.tribalfusion.com...?
