There's an ad for IBM that causes jerky scrolling for me on the site. Is anyone else having problems with this ad? I'm using Firefox(latest), have 512 MB of memory installed in my box running Windows 2000 pro.

As the ads are random, i'm having trouble re-creating it, is it a flash ad, or a video?

Have you updated the flash player? The IBM ad is a flash.
Yeah, we know, it's been reported to IBM and it'll be looked into ASAP.
The IBM ad is playing as I'm typing this and I've had no problems with scrolling.
Just a reminder, we can't discuss ad blocking on the forums. It could put us out of business. Thanks - Joe
That actually makes it worse -- the ad problems (in this particular ad's case a spinlock and a nasty memory leak) only seem to occur in Flash 8.x. Using Flash 7 lets you avoid the DoS, but opens you up to a bunch of code execution vulns instead. :)Quote:
