Pedantry maybe, but that's not factually correct. The original image you posted showed Google Toolbar, which counts (even though technically that blocks popups, not inline ads). It's been a long time since I've used Google Toolbar because more recent browsers have the search box built in, but I don't recall any specific problems here. Even so, it's still a possibility. Try disabling it and see if that makes any difference.

Same old same old, but the site does load a lot faster for me, so have a partial thank you.

Worth having a scour around your machine for anything else you didn't think did adblocking, but actually does? Antivirus, Antispyware, Firewall (either on the PC or router), proxy, etc. would all be candidates. Also clear the IE cache and have a look around your IE settings to see if you've disabled anything that might be relevant.

Let's see what the conspiracy theorists make of that, lol.

Or better yet, get a proper browser like Firefox.

The conspiracy theorists can eat my hat over that suggestion.
