    OK ! I can't have noticed them or maybe I've got a comp problem . Have they always been the same ad repeating 5 or times?

    They are random from a pool of 20, and I could always charge for the site as donations for the last 6 months totalled £15, against a few hundred it costs to run.

    Think I know what you mean fella. Sounds like the same thing has happened to me. Don't know if it's a Firefox thing as mine did an update in the last couple of days, but can't remember if the update came before I noticed the problem. I'm inclined to believe it did though!

    Definitely looks like a Firefox thing as the ads behave in IE.

    Tried clearing my cache which didn't help. Will see what Firefox did in the update that is causing the problem.

    Just tested it on Firefox It's fine on all the other browsers, so I guess the new FF has an error handling Javascript

    I'll see if I can rewrite the code my end, and charge FF for the work
