So I've noticed lately that my browser makes this clicking noise as I read threads. I've tracked the noise down to the National Car free-emerald-club Flash ad embedded in a post on most thread views. While it's playing, every few seconds, I can see a "downloading ... from .... " message re-display every few seconds in my IE6 status bar, and with each one, that annoying click.

So, soes anyone know if there's an IE setting to silence the download noise? And if not, who do I appeal to, to get that ad removed from Flyertalk? They don't allow popups here - I find this one just as intrusive & annoying.
