The AnswerBank Zero, Now with Less Ads

[AB Editor]

Dear All,

Sorry about the worrying malware warnings that some of your browsers were throwing up.

We've found the root of the problem and will be working on it asap. But for now you can enjoy the light, low-fat, guilt-free version of The AnswerBank:

AnswerBank Zero

Refreshing isn't it?

Normal transmission is likely to return on Monday at the latest.

Is there a banner at the very top of the page?
Is there a skyscraper on the left and right at the bottom of the page?

If the answer is "No" then all is well.

Awesome... I got worried when I couldn't get on. Thought at first it was the PC then realised it is like fort knox so must have been here.

No banners for me now!

[Mamyalynne]

Well done for getting on the case, was extremely frustrating. ♥

[Greedyfly]

I rang the O/H blaming him for his ridiculous security on the PC lol


Oh well.... I shall have to apologise now (not my strong point)

The BBC version of Answerbank.

I am on a Mac and always use ClickToFlash which blocks most of your ads anyway (and greatly speeds up the site).

[Greedyfly]

Ours is super safe usually. I have not had one virus yet but when that came up I thought I had downloaded something bad - would have been in the dog house if I had!

[B00]

That'll teach you for looking at dodgy p0rn sites greedy ;-)

[Greedyfly]

lol Boo indeed

[vivandorron]

Yes, I heard by e/mail from a friend that AB had been bug geared-up; although I haven't had any problems.
