All the AA ads seem to break Safari 2.0 (Mac OS X Tiger) - looks like there might be a missing left angle bracket somewhere since immediately following the image, I get:-

'javascript'>
'http://mediauk.247realmedia.com/RealMedia/ads/cap.cgi?rand=499399288&c=aaa50m&dv=1&e=1d' width=1 height=1>

If it's an AA ad midway down the page, the rest of the page doesn't appear.

It all seems OK in Firefox (more forgiving?), but I can't comment on older revisions of Mac OS X.

I think Ted is aware of this, see post on next page.

It does appear to make PH look very broken but by all accounts is to do with the ad server rather than PH itself. I viewed another site using the same ad server and that too looked ropey.

Shame as I hate use IE.

I reported it a long time ago, but I just use an ad-blocker now so I don't get any rather than broken ones spoiling my Pistonhead pleasures.

Sorry chaps. Had been told that it was fixed. I'll pursue it.

it's very strange the way it stops and starts. I find it is ok for a day then unusable for 2 or 3 in a cycle. It's not really a huge problem since I can just use Firefox but its a pain to have to have two browsers open

When I find out it's occurring, I either suspend all advertising from that source or arrange for those ads to be suspended.

I've requested that it be fixed properly this time.

Ted, it has been working fine (yesterday) but now that the ING ads have gone up the same error is happening.

Thought you should know which ads are breaking it.
