ad.doubleclick.net... that keeps showing up everytime I go on a thread? Plus it's taking forever for stuff to open. It's only showing up here not on other sites.

It's just showing up above the taskbar, while the computer is waiting for the thread or HAN to open. No ads appear.

if you're using firefox, get adblock and it'll help HAN load faster after blocking that.

you can add a line to your hosts file just to make sure it's blocked, but I don't see why it wouldn't be
