The new flash banner ad that says "Congratulations! You've been selected! Free Ipod Nano" and has the silhouette of a dancing woman has been giving me major problems. It locks up my browser and eats up a huge chunk of my system resources. It's doing similar damage as that "Hostage" one did awhile back. I've actually locked up my entire browser a few times and I've had to go into Task Manager and 'End Task'. Has anyone else had problems with this one?

I haven't had to kill my browser (yet), but it does spike the system resources and brings the browser to a crawl. I can just hit the Back button or close the tab that has the forum displayed, and that fixes the problem. Still a pain though, and of course it popped up on this thread as well.

It's been freezing up on me even when I try to go back or click another link. The only thing I can do is quickly close the tab.

I've thankfully not seen that one yet.

I haven't tried browsing the forum in IE but in Firefox it slows down the browser and it disables my scroll wheel

you need to get the banner properties for Geoff he can then remove it from the ad rotation.
