Aye same here but i don;t blame UK netrguide i blame joggerjayne for creating a new daily star crossword club, like we don;t have enough of those quizzers and puzzlers slowing the site up!
I've got the scroll bar things all over the page as well now, little tiny ones and longer ones - and I've definately got adverts opening up when I open a question - it's not my mouse control.
