What is wrong with the ads?

I have been having problems for months with the MD Anderson sidebar ad sometimes taking up the whole window and completely screwing up the forum. I would have to hit the back button and keep trying until another ad would cycle. Now it seems the Verizon ad is even worse. Now all I get is the ad in the middle of the page and none of the forum below it. It took me 10 tries to start this post because of the ad. I am using Firefox. Is anyone else having a problem or have I screwed something up?

Thanks
 
lol. I came in here to complain about this exact issue, and I had to refresh twice to finally get it to work.

Opera 10.10, so it's not just a FF problem.

Verizon ad, too.
 
The buggy MD Anderson ad has been pulled. The marketing guys want to know if you have any more info on what the bad Verizon ad is though. Does anyone have a screenshot or a URL?

Same problem here, display and refresh under current Vista 32 versions of FireFox and IE are broken. Takes multiple refreshes and even then it is flaky.
 
Ads dont seem to be the major problem. Its the forums not loading up that drives me nuts. Usually have to refresh a dozen times.

Chrome.
Win 7 64.
Also happens in IE.
 
Driving me batty, I'm installing adblock now. Sick of refreshing every page 5+ times.
(I've held out on adblock for YEARS since advertising drives the web, but this has driven me to it. Seriously.)

EDIT: Yup, that did it. Everything loads first time now.
