K... there's some stupid banner add that starts SCREAMING "SAY SOMETHING" and it's animated smilies with sound. Please kill it with fire.

The banners aren't supposed to be saying anything. I predict tooki will need more information about it to identify which ad is the problem, though, so next time it comes up, copy the link.

I got it, too, but I cannot do anything about ads. But the URL linked from the "hellooooooo" one is http://media.fastclick.net/w/click.h...mp;m=1&c=1 . Monish, can you remove it?

It took me some time to realize what t. f. that is that always says "Hello! Hello! Hello!" on my computer. It would be nice if this annoying banner would be removed.

FWIW, we don't like the ads any more than you do. Especially annoying ones.

Which begs the question... why use an ad company that forces annoying ones into the rotation against your wishes? Surely there are ad companies that do not?

Is there any way to simply NOT have Flash banners?

The irony is that smiley company is owned by My Way news.
