I tried a few of them (AdBlockPlus, AdBlock, and some FlashBlock or another) but it looks like somehow when I block flash the regular part of the site just doesn't come up. Maybe it's because of the long distance of my connection. I would even hazard a guess that maybe they made their site require the flash ads to make it viewable but my first commandment is "don't attribute to malice that which can be easily explained by incompetency", especially with a site with such a low regard to standards as Tapuz. Another approach I had great success with is using a local Privoxy > installation to filter annoying stuff (and it works the same with all > browsers). What if the ads are served from the same host as the main site and are only different by URL path? Thanks, --Amos
