Both my banner ads come up "page cannot be displayed"

is it just me or anyone else getting this now?

NOT that i'm complaining, if this is the same company who gave us the flashing ad and the popup ad... they can be down for a bit for all i care...

I just started having the same thing in IE this morning. Apparently it's related to having to click 3 times on the back button to go back a page too.

edit- I don't have to do click 3 times to go back a page with Netscape 4.77 but the ads are still not there.

i was wondering the same thing, i also notices the "back" button 3 times thing :)

to be honest i was getting a little worried, anandtech needs banners to make money and to keep bringing me all the good stuff i enjoy reading

It's not just Anandtech - it's everywhere. I'm seeing missing ads all over the place, even on the MSN Community sites. One of the ad companies isn't doing too well today.

The funniest one (to my mind) is that d*mned X10 camera pop-up ad that shows up constantly when you are on anything associated with Microsoft. It popped up once this morning with "Server not found" - and I haven't seen it since. Huzzah!
