re: The site is running really slow

DEAR DUDES NAMED BEN (That's code for IT folk):

whatever has been causing issues has NOT been resolved. And I now realize it isn't just H&R Block ads. I believe its all of the animated banner, footer and side-panel ads. -- IT'S FLASH.--

This is in no way a user issue. Why hasn't this been resolved? The reason this site has ads is because thousands of people come here each day. That's great, but when the ads make using the site frustrating, it's off-putting to the people who made the ads possible in the first place.

ETA: I disabled flash, and everything works perfectly. So, what's going on with Flash ads on here? Flash works fine everywhere else.
