Only kidding. Set them to be accepted everytime for this site?
If that doesn't work one of the proper geeks here will no doubt be able to help.

I think you should PM Russ with that info.

From the servers perspective there is no difference between a user with adblock, a firewall like mine or none at all. The ads are still displayed.

The problem is not with the site you are visiting but the ad bureaus you belong to/sign up to, some nasty stuff gets snuck in.
