Hi Lindsey, I´ve just tried the site you suggested but it says it is under construction. Perhaps they are increasing the flashing!

Oh I wouldnt be too sure about that Lindsey. Some of the men in Oz are keen on flashing.

I´ve just come back onto Genes after being away for a few weeks and I´m sure there has been previous threads about this that I have missed. Well usually I spend an hour or so before going to bed browsing the boards and I drop off to sleep no trouble. But for the last two nights as I´ve been dropping off I have been having lights flashing as though I was still on the pc. which seem to wake me up. I´m now wondering about the risk to those with epilepsy with all these pesky adverts coming up. I´m not a sufferer but obviously am being effected by this. This effect of the constant flashing has to be very disturbing to many members. Also the blue on blue or is it green? must be distressing for those with vision problems. What a shame, I won´t be on so much now as the only time I get is before bed.
