All of a sudden, the little pics at the top of the page are being seen as ads, and I'm getting a "This ad zapped" instead of the pics. Anyone have any ideas what could cause this?

What extensions are you running? I am not having this problem.

I'm not having that either. You'll probably need to tell FF or your ad blocker that Dgrin is a safe or allowed site.

Maybe it's Tools/Options/Web Features/Block Pop Up Windows. Put www.dgrin.com in the allowed box.

Doubt it. The pics are not popups. There is a version of the adblock extension that relies on a shared block list. Perhaps that's the source? I run adblock, but I maintain my own list.

I use adblock and filterset.G and I still see them.

Thanks for replies guys. I don't have any extensions and I haven't changed anything by going through the tools>options menu recently.

I've just tried setting dgrin as an exception in load images, but still no luck. This is really puzzling At least I now know it's something in my setup seeing that no-one else is having this problem. I'll google it and see what pops up

Follow up:
It could be some kind of ISP-based ad-zapper. such as this:

I've just looked at the source of a dgrin page, and because of the random way in which the pics are introduced, they may be seen as ads by the ad blocking s/w.

Follow up to the follow up:
I've just spoken to one of the support people this end and he has confirmed that such server side software is in place. He will check if anything has changed recently.
