Probably a good point for a useful "getting the most out of FT" reminder - You can switch off ads by taking out a subscription to Flyertalk Premium/Inside Flyer - $12 a year, and it makes the FT experience much faster and less visual

There is also a lot of ad blocking software out there - but I think the FT Premium option has a bit of karma associated with it

And if you're fed up of scrolling through page after page of posts, switch the number of posts per page to 40 (go to "MyFlyertalk", then Options).
