Are you having problems with the o2 advert that comes up in the game window?

Dont worry your not the only one!

However i have discovered a solution

Most people are using internet explorer - dont!!!

Serach for a programme called Mozilla Firefox and download it - its free and has no viruses so dont worry.

You will now have a new programme to open your internet browser with and should have no more problems with it at all!

However if your experiencing problems with firefox just switch back to internet explorer, and you will be fine!

Any questions or queries please ask

this method is proven to work with a number of players on here after i have spoken to them from doing this

That would be one of the first things to suggest anyway, Apparently Mozilla Firefox isn't as secure as other browsers, I am on I.E and I dont expeirience any problems with the O2 Advert.

Although those tips might be useful for other members

Doesn't seem to work for everyone.

Using a different browser is one of the many things you can try if you're getting "ad-lag". Many people have moved from Firefox to IE for this reason, since its less resource hungry.

There are plenty of other tricks but I do realise the old lag advice threads have slipped away, so we will look at redoing a fresh one if anyone still has problems after todays patch.

Just a note to say that the O2 ads should not appear anymore. They were in contravention of best practice due to the nature of the animation, which was causing the problems some were experiencing.

All back to normal now
