Thanks for trying Kev, not solved it for me. :-)

Could be something on works laptop that confilcting with it I guess

Edit: The other thing that's happening, is when I make a post, it gets stuck on the "you've just made a post" page, waiting for the ad to load...

Some people may think that's great design, as it stops me posting, but I've found the workround. 8)

Does the site load fine other than the banner?

Or is it stopping you doing stuff?

Aye, it seems ok apart from the banner.
I reckon it's an internet explorer problem. I can't see the ad now (on ie9) and the site is perpetually loading but today using chrome it was hunky-dory.

Constantly waiting for 1 item both home (ancient IE7) and work (IE9). Have to manually refresh to return to page.

No problems here - but I use Firefox as my day-to-day browser. The ad seems to be an Adobe Flash based image; is it possible that it's the flash settings within I.E. (or the version of flash) that are causing the problem for some members? That's a wild guess, of course.

If that's a stupid question, keveh, I apologise. I've dropped behind since I stopped working with/on computers for a living.
