you don't need to you can block any particular image / flash / js
and also unblock them if blocked by mistake
ad block plus also show you the listing of blocked content per page

You need not block them all; just block the inappropriate ones.

I just right-click the add and click Play which stops it playing.

It's "Mother's Day", not "Mothers Day".

That depends on the context and intent. If it were as a pejorative expression then Mothers Day is the correct usage.

Wouldn't "mother of a day" be more apropos?

I have noticed for quite a while that when I get an email notification, the links are not correct. Oddly, they seem to take me to an error page that has a link to where I need to go. It seems odd that the email link doesn't take me right to the page.
Here's an example. I received an email notification that contains this link:
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/LINQ_1.asp?msg=2031715#xx2031715xx[^]
When I go there, it is a Page not Found error page, but has a link to the correct page. Odd. Also, in the email, there is the message "Do not hit 'reply' to this email: To reply, click here." When I click the link, it goes to the same error page.
The emails I receive have been this way for as long as I can remember.

Sometimes when an article is moved the location of the forum isn't updated at the same time. A proper fix is in the works

See This[^]. Got this when I take CP forums on firefox browser. A refresh made the screen ok. But why it is happening ?
|
|
|
|

The stylesheet didn't get loaded. A refresh will fix that (as you saw)

I too encounter this problem on slow connections.

I noticed this on CoffeeGeek.com during the sign up process:
Please note: All new CoffeeGeek accounts are under a five-post probationary period. Under this probation, you will not be allowed to post an unsolicited recommendation or endorsement for any company or service. This policy is in place to prevent "shill" postings, which is a forum posting made to look like a consumer endorsing a business, but is most times the business themselves promoting their own company. If you make a post promoting a new business within your first five posts, your posting will be deleted and your account could face suspension.

Have there been recent posts on CP that promote a company or service? The only thing I have seen is what people put in their sigs, which pretty much get ignored unless it's really outrageous.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, I tried to promote myself as a gigolo, but nobody was having any of it
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

Yes there have been, many over the years. A simple query of the lounge post database showing posts where a new user has made only 1 or 2 ever within minutes of creating an account then no more after that would reveal them. The most recent was some kind of conference with two separate accounts posting nearly the identical message, I forget what it was exactly but it was clearly an attempt at viral marketing.
It's no a huge issue I know, but I consider the suggestion board a hopper to throw in anything that might be useful and I'm certain we're going to see a rise in this kind of marketing attempt in future.
