that link seems to auto-load on some pages (tied into some ad i assume, i dont know which one) which ends up being an error. its really quite annoying after waiting for a page to load and get this, then have to wait for it to load again.

Are you using IE? I just started using Mozilla 1.4 a little while ago. I get the error message, but the pages still load properly, despite the ad not appearing. Sometimes I'll get the error at the beginning of a pageload, sometimes at the end.

Also, it's not a DDRFreak problem - I've been getting the same problem from other webpages with ads hosted by Ad-flow.

ive tried it on mozilla and it happened, but on my primary IE, its still happening an absurd amout of times. i'd say at least once every 3 page clicks, and it is really really annoying. it makes it even worse on an already slow page-load to have to wait for it twice or even 3 times because it keeps breaking. please admins, fix the ad-flow ads or remove them completely.

If you can tell me the link it's trying to get to I will tell the ad people immediately. Otherwise, you'll have to wait until I encounter that problem, which as you can assume is not very likely.

when i refresh and it sucessfully loads, it always displays the 7.77$ per month domain/hosting ad. so if theres some system (not random) that displays em, its the one before that.... since it never sucessfully loads, i cant say exactly which one it is.

Actually, I've found that if you don't refresh, and instead use your browser's "Load Image" command (right-click on the broken image placeholder), it will load the ad. The fact that it breaks while trying to load a reference to the hosting company probably means that the ad is doing something it shouldn't.

I haven't thought to do that recently, though, so I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for it.

Oh...and I'm looking at the $7.77 ad right now, and didn't get the error on the previous page, so Cfusionpm's info isn't going to be specific enough.
