Problem with Opinion-Central Ad
I'm having problems with pages loading - when moving from page to page if this ad appears the rest of the page won't load and I get a can't find server error - have to keep refreshing several times for each new page.

Tim, there have been a number of complaints about that ad in other threads:

I will try and get a screen shot next time it happens. It's a floating type popup that stays within the borders of the browser. If I switch to a different tab (FireFox), it is gone, and returns when I go back to FT. I can hit the "No Thanks" to make it go away, or wait and it will go away after a bit. When I read a thread and then come back to the main forum page and refresh, it comes back. This happens 4-5 times each time I use a different one of my computers. I'm logged in the whole time, so it's not a login issue.
Cheers.
Cheers.

Man is this MF'er annoying, more than on most blogger sites. I got the same trouble as the OPer, and NO its not fixed as of today. Its a nuisance. Opinion Central is one culprit.
I have to constantly hit re-load and knock down the pop-up in order to access the FT Forums. It never works/loads right the first time. I almost always have to hit reload once or twice to access the forums, then it will work after the blocker finally beats them back.
My privacy pop-up blocker is also constantly fighting no less than 13 other cookie and pop-up items here in FT, most of which appear to be coming from someplace called a.tribalfusion.com (major pest) and ad.linkssynergy.com among others.
It would be nice if I could just log-in the first time, and without all the privacy intrusions, pop-ups and ad cookies.
