Blank Screen for FT site
 

I'm not sure what is happenening, about a week or so ago, FT started going blank on me.

I use IE8 (don't tell me to change, I can't its my work computer, we use IE8, and thats that whether I like it or not)

What happens is that I will pull up a forum (any forum) and what I see is the blue FT banner at the top

the Jump to Forums ..... under the blue banner

Whatever Ad banner is under that

the rest is a white screen.

the lower left gray bar right above the start button usually says Error (or something else which I can not remember right now)

It happens at random, but it happens close to 75% of the time. This morning for some reason I am on and I took this opportunity to post

It only happens on FT, not to any other website I visit

any ideas?

Do you actually see the top banner ad? Any other ads?

Post a screenshot if you please :)

I didn't realize this at the time I originally posted but it is the American Express issue here as well. All I do is keep refreshing until I get something other than an Amex ad

Anyone know why its just AX?

I have FF w/....... Plus so I don't see any ad on FT, but there's always something in the ad....;)

Not sure if it's related but your problem reminded me of some flash player issues with ads on FT a while ago:

What you run into may not be flash-related, but it wouldn't hurt to make sure all your drivers are current and/or updated.
