I thought MSE was supposed to be ad-free? At the top of every page is an invisible flash

Why is this?

I can't find any main site or forum page with that in.
Can you link to a page where you have found it?Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB

Hello
Thanks for pointing this out - it is actually something to do with the Bookmark button that features on the top of the page. The software we used has changed since installing it. The swf was not an advert but was used for the applications benefit.
Since pointing out we are going round and removing this until we find out what the swf is doing and whether it is safe for our users.
Thanks

Apologies - when adding the XMAS logo at the top an old version of the masthead was installed. Should be fixed up now.
Once again sorry!
