    Horrible ad upping CPU usage

    BA's ad everytime I open Hexus. Can't seem to adblock it either.

    Anychance of getting them to change it as its crashed Hexus on my work PC four times and is slowing even my gaming rig down?

    Thanks

    Whenever I have the main forum page open (forums.hexus.net), firefox starts using most of my CPU I'm guessing it's one of the flash ads, but I don't know which one. Alos, I've just tried it again to try and figure out exactly which ad was making it do that, and it didn't do it. Therefore, since the google ad was there on both account, I don't think it's that. I think it's one of the ones in the top right.

    The ATI one makes page loads a lot slower with me. IT loads first and you get that superimposed on the page you navigated from, then the rest of the page appears a few seconds later around it. The google one is good, small and quick
