Ah, yes - the ads are only on the purple and silver techwatch skin.

Pages seem to be loading quicker today, have you changed something

i'm having trouble accesssing pages, Just white pages with IE8 and very slow using firefox , Keeps getting hung up on Read ads.pubmatic.com ????

I definately blocked pubmatic.com after I googled their site in the interests of my computers safety

Flying along here on firefox - with adblock fully enabled though.

Analoguesat · 16-08-09, 11:05 PM

Brian - fwiw Ive just done a direct comparison with and without adblock enabled & using the TW purple skin. Just as I found on the Digital Spy forum when they enabled the last set of adverts pages are much slower loading with the ads enabled. - The pubmatic ones for their dratted games seem to be particularly bad.

Let me know if you want amny more tests run

I didn't even notice when viewing on my PC. But i've a 20mb connection. Went on with the lappy last night though which is wireless and noticed that the ads can take a while to load with the slower connection.

If they are causing you a problem switch to the Satellite Help skin for now.

Edit - As Brian said earlier they are only enabled on the Techwatch skin.
