Definitely ABP, but I hadn't done the last update, so that couldn't have been it for me. Turning it off seems to work for NOW, but who KNEW there were so many ads?

One can manually deactivate the filter:

Code:

||ibsrv.net^$third-party

which should restore the look.

Thanks! That seems to have done the trick. I'm not seeing any adds yet. Does that mean that even after the fix the adds will still be screened out. (I hope so!)

Hi, Paul from Internet Brands here.

Seems you have ferreted out the issue as a Firefox plugin that is a bit overzealous at hiding graphics. Let me know if the proposed solution does not work for anyone.

To to where I said it's working fine on both FF and Safari....

I do have .......+ installed on FF 3.6.16 and the ....... extension (v2.3.22) installed on Safari (5.0.4) and am using both with their default settings.

FWIW that was not the root cause of my issue as I do not have an ad-blocker plugin for my browser.

Thanks. This corrected the problem I was having on my Mac w/FF 4.

Do be aware of the changes you've made to your browser, whichever one you are using -- especially ad-blocking measures, as this is going to affect your total browsing experience! The things a blocker keys off of are some of the same things a website like FT is going to display to enhance your experience on the site; if you make changes to limit some of the things you don't want to see, you will inevitably eliminate some things you do want to see.

You should try zeroing out your cookies, re-installing, and examining any add-ons or plugins you have installed. You may need to revert to a previous version of your browser or switch browsers. Try IE, try Firefox, and Chrome, and see if the problem persists; if it does not persist across other browsers/versions, the problem lies with your setup.
