Still broken for me. Click into the fake box where it says "enter your URL" as opposed to the writing where it says "Web hosting by UKFast".

Make sure its the bottom image, should be absolute bottom right.

I've let UKFast know -- I'm sure they'll make a new banner pronto. Glad you're all clicking on it Smile

I haven't blocked ads from sponsors who advertise in the magazine, they help keep websites free and they generally don't have malware as part of their ads. Personal preferences Wink

I block them at work because our bandwidth is so low.
Plus I never buy anything from them anyway, so what's the point of using my bandwidth to download their adverts?
I feel the same about popup ads - they just annoy me and I have never, ever bought anything from one, much the same as spam.
