It seems that I cannot view any thread on this board while the Ad-Killer that I use is active. Even with both Ad and Popup Filtering set to their weakest, the threads load as blank pages.
If anyone uses an Ad-Killer that works with this new board, I’d appreciate hearing from you.

This is a noted bug; we already had a complaint about it.
When I brought this problem to the techs, they said the burden was on the individual user end of things and furthermore they did not feel overly disposed to investigate the situation.
“We can see the pages fine from here, ads and all; we have no problem.”
They suggest you take it up with Ad-Killer.
And hey, thanks a lot. We appreciate your business.

Thanks Tuba…
Oh, I sent you email last night about not being able to view the threads–ignore it.
I woke up this morning, slapped my forehead, and exclaimed “AdsOff!”
Startled the hell out of my girlfriend.
BTW–Nice techs…

They’re irked, and, truth be told, so am I.
It’s not like we’re evil about our use of ads, we don’t chase you with nag screens, we don’t harass you.
If you’d click on an ad from time to time, that would be cool, even. But we don’t beat you into it.
Ads are how we try to offset the cost of this website; contrary to those that think websites are little money making machines, this site takes some bux to put up and maintain. (In that same vein, the Reader is currently installing a second T1 line, just for us. That’s neither free nor cheap.)
For us to get complaints on webwashing programs is like that old New Yorker cartoon where the customer says to the clerk in the bookstore, “I’m looking for a book on chutzpah. And I want you to pay for it.”

Yes, Tuba…and that would be a valid argument IF this was the only website I visited.
As a researcher, I have to be all over the web, and there are more than a few sites that ARE evil with their use of ads (and even worse, popups!) Webwashing turns a three minute load into a 20 second load.
And FWIW, I make a point to occasionally click on ads at sites that I enjoy, SDMB included.
Un-irked?
-David
Yeah. That’s different. 
I’m not irked now. Never mind.
your humble TubaDiva
Proof again there’s exceptions to every rule.
