Just to get in my 2 cents worth before this is shut down, it is mighty annoying and hardly an incentive to use the advertised products when the ads are blocking the reason we come to the forum in the first place. On that other tech forum (to where it was moved when someone started up comment on Community), many posters pointed out that making money from ads was how FT keeps going. I accept that, but blocking the FT content with no way to close the ad seems to be counter productive.
