I don't mind static ads that I can read when I am dummy. But the animated ads at the table drive me BUGGY. I cannot concentrate on playing a hand with an ad flashing in my face.

I have been on BBO almost since day 1 and love the site, but if this feature (animated and flashing ads) is a permenant thing, I will have to look seriously at OKBridge.

This very thing (flashing ads) is what drove me away from MS Zone to BBO in the first place.

I love BBO, but it is a bridge site and if I cannot play bridge on BBO then it ceases to be of value to me.

Does anyone else feel the same as me?

Agreed. Flashing ads = bad.

How do you deal with the flashing box that says who won the last trick? I have not noticed flashing ads, but at least the ads I have seen are way down at the bottom of the window away from the playing area.

I don't!

Click on Options (on toolbar) , then "At a table" Tab, then uncheck "Animate messages" and the last trick message does not flash.

In all fairness to the good people that run BBO:

The freqency of animated ads has seemed to decrease, or maybe I am getting immune to them.
