Ok, I've changed to the dot com address, which has got rid of the flashing. I'd changed at work but omitted to do so at home!

Hi You can just drag the page to one side so that at least you can't see the annoying one on the left! Cheers (bit early though) Allie

Someone the other day told me to use the dot com instead of the dot uk addy. Less adverts no flashing. Much better Germaine x

I see no ads... Permanent fix ? Try Nortons anti spam, which has ad blockers. My antispam is in my Norton Internet security package which also protects my pooter from nasties. Well worth the money ! Elaine x

Hi is anyone else finding the Flashing Bingo to the left of the screen a problem / discomfort? We are working with a file propped up to hide it but of course you then need to remove it to get at the menu Any suggestions for a permanent fix appreciated. .
