I skrikked my gat af yesterday and could never figure out why - I open multiple sites and tab away, then revisit later. Going to fiddle with the advert settings.

Changes will take a few hours to reflect, but in essence I have blocked it.

There's a damn irritating banner ad that laughs hysterically every time my cursor happens to move over it. Now don't get me wrong - I'm happy to have ads here - but not one that screeches with a maniacal laugh when I'm quietly trying to peruse my favourite flying forum at work! ##
Jip Dave agree - nearly seak cover when i heard it the first time :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Took me about 3-4 passes over the add to figure out where it was coming from.

Mogas already answered. Add-on is Adblock Plus. Very configurable. See what you want, see what you don't want.
