Fix the Problem Please
At home, I use Firefox and I have been having the problem lately. I'll look into Adblocker.
At work, I don't have the option of buying an ad-free version. AND, we have all the pop-up blockers you could want, on Internet Explorer, and yet the problem has exploded in the past week.
Could we please have a response from technical support on what Flyertalk's plans are to stop the pages from expanding horizontally so they're unreadable, with the addition of a lot of gobbledygook computer code thrown in?
Thanks....this is a very serious issue that does no favors to advertisers.

If this is an ongoing problem, ok, I can understand it and start checking other sites for travel info and advice. What I can't understand is why there's no word from FT IT on whether or not they can fix it a few days after being notified.

This problem has been posted many times and I only saw it grow worse over last month & last week has been awful. I tried ....... & it didn't help. Since g_leyser identified problem as coming from the Ads (in another thread), I followed Wharveys' advice & joined online Premium FT, & problem went away. For $1 mo ($12 total), was worth it to me not to have continual problems.

Could be that down the line the service will need to be refreshed to deal with new ads or sites, or that I'll somehow get a message about options for additional services for which I'd pay. But as best as I and my tech-savvy stepson could tell, it's simply a free, one-click service.
For the IT folks at FT, thanks for the great non-responses! In and of itself, a good reason to start going to other sites for travel info and discussions.
