    Uh, has IGN stooped so low as to allow porn sites to advertise with FF?!

    Yeah... so now I'm seeing Only-sexpics sites in the banner.

    I think IGN is being haxored!

    Either that or my Uncles PC has some nasty spyware I'm going to have to stomp out.

    I saw your post in Comms about the banner ads and I have mentioned them in Mod Squad. I can't see them due to my firewall's ad blocker though.

    Well, me too, that's why I'm asking. :p The adserver seems to be down for me so I can't verify it - we need to know if it's an IGN problem so it can be solved ASAP.

    Hmmmm. Tried opening FF-NSW in internet explorer *shudder* and the banner just comes up as "The page cannot be displayed" ...


    Shad, maybe your hosts file has been hijacked and is redirecting your banner ads?

    Try replacing your hosts file with a clean one, like the one at http://everythingisnt.com/hosts and see if that makes a difference ...

    I'm on a different computer now and the banner has ceased to display.

    I'm hoping it's a FF problem and not my local computers problem. I'll look at the problem again when the laptop comes back.

    Of course, my personal computer has the very latest in banner/add stomping programs!

    Looks like I missed out. :(

    I'm using IE and the banners on this site haven't worked on my PC for a very long time. The only problem is that when I hit the "Back" button while browsing here, I have to press it a second time because the first back has some adserver.ign.com URL that does absolutely nothing.

    Reported it in Comms a while back, but I don't think it ever got fixed.

    So many people have adblock installed that when the ad server goes down, nobody notices. :D

    Maybe like the majority of swear words, porn is becoming normalised and will soon no longer matter... :p
