Even on a normal PC running IE8, I'm getting odd effects from some of these adverts - such as occasional page resizing and slow loading as all the 'waiting for adcrap' (seen at the lower left corner just above the system tray) add-ons fire themselves up.
Yes the site needs sponsors, but the advertising infestation seems to be proliferating to a wholly unnacceptable degree nowadays.
And does
anyone actually look at or click on the adverts? I certainly don't....
