The Register making life difficult for readers ...
Seriously guys, I know you need to advertise, but do we really need FLASH ads on the site? I've just had to switch to Firefox because whatever is inserting itself at the top of the page is breaking the site to the extent that eventually Chrome pops up a message telling me that the page has stopped responding.
(together with the obligatory "Shockwave Flash has stopped responding")
5 mins later and I guess I'm getting a different Ad selection, and Chrome seems to be working again, but for around 5 mins I repeatedly loaded, reloaded, killed the tab etc etc and failed to get a working Register home page .. and I'm guessing that Ad is still out there somewhere in the ether just waiting to pay me another visit ...
Intrusive ads are one thing, but ads that prevent the side from displaying, whole other level ...
Biting the hand that feeds IT
