Another possible ad problem

**Redfuzzy** · 08-03-2008, 05:58 AM

Whenever I get a certain Ad on the Online Reader, the flash script runs into a problem.

And yay for Blud, screenshots to better show it:

When I start loading the page it takes an extraordinarily long time loading and gets stuck at this point:

Spoiler!

Then it gives me a message saying it has trouble loading the flash script:

Spoiler!

I answer yes to abort and then I get the page as if it were normal with the ad animated and everything:

Spoiler!

I don't know what it might be trying to do, or if it's not anything malicious at all. I just hope this helps.

I've been experiencing the same problem Redfuzzy. Your screenies explain it all. But mine hasn't only happened on the online reader. I mainly experience it on the main page.

Happened to me yesterday for the first time, and that same ad.

Thanks for the info

The ad company has disabled this ad for us and they're looking into why it happened.

Arisato-kun / fxu, do you use macs as well? He wasn't able to reproduce it on his windows machine in the same version of FF and thinks it might be an issue with the ad on apple machines.

Get flash block for Fire Fox, I dont get any ads on MS with it.

Yeah, I was gonna say, I never see any ads but I think it could be cause I use adblock plooos.

It only happened once.....I use Windows XP Pro.
