    I don't think the person paying for the advertisement would like that.

    I look at the site at the salon and it freezes up on the banner while it is loading, so I click on the "member list for the store" while it is loading.

    maybe not..but i have spent hours upon hours looking at those banners, and im sure they would not mind giving some of us that have been here for a long time the opportunity to disable the banners for a few hours each day that we work

    If using Internet Explorer:

    go to "Tools"...... "Internet Options"..... click the "Advanced" tab.. Scroll down to Multimedia..... "Show pictures" box is clicked, so unclick it!

    images will not be displayed if you unclick that box

    I am not using the built-in adblocker that is available in Firefox, I'm using Adblock Plus, which is a more robust plugin and you can block anything you want with it:

    Ever been annoyed by all those ads and banners on the internet that often take longer to download than everything else on the page? Install Adblock Plus now and get rid of them. Right-click on a banner and choose "Adblock" from the context menu - the banner won't be downloaded again. Or click Adblock Plus icon in the toolbar to see all elements of the page and block the banners. You can use filters with wildcards or even regular expressions to block complete banner factories.

    https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1865/
    For blocking images with the built-in adblocker you typically right-click on a image and choose "Block images from...", but then all images will be blocked from the host, I think. Which is why "Adblock Plus" is better because it allows you to specify precisely what type of content you want to block, or a specific picture.

    In Firefox:

    Tools > Settings > Content > Approved Places

    I think that is the way it should look even in the English version of Firefox...
