Can you provide the click-through link? Right-click and copy/paste the URL/link.

There has been some reports about this specific ad and I thought the issue was addressed. We'll look into it.

Thanks.

The one that's slowing me down, BAD, is a flash file that says "Renting is Mayhem" (Also Allstate). If I right click it it just pops up a speed, zoom, global settings file. It's Flash so.....

When you click it this is the address http://www.allstateonline.com/lp/ren...artmentRatings

Once the bar is no longer "visible" scroll speed comes right back. When the ad is visible though, it's super laggy.

Jeremy, just to add fuel to the fire, if I'm typing a PM and the banner is there, I can type almost 4 whole sentences before they even start showing up. But if I scroll down just enough to get the banner off my screen, but still see my PM message, it runs fine.

That banner is killing the "experience."

If you need a video Jeremy I'm more than happy to shoot a short one and text it to you.

I noticed mine has slowed down too lately but hadn't figured out why. This must be the answer.

I'm having the same issue. It only happens when the Allstate banner is up. The other ads don't effect it at all.

Is it only with the Allstate banner? If so, please provide the click-through link by right clicking and then copy/paste the URL. If it's a flash-based ad, as I believe it is, you may have to get the landing page.

It was my understanding that this was resolved (regarding the Allstate banner). If not, I'll find out.
