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?

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.
