    ok only difference I can see is mine is the 64bit fox yours is 32bit

    the only extension [edit: ie 'add-on'] I have is noscript - have to give scripting permisions to see the site as you would expect with this extension...

    Good find.That was the problem I was having on FF. "216 adverts??. I use adblockers all the time. I wouldn't create a site that stops the site rendering correctly just because of ads.

    most ads are blocked by noscript as it happens, one of the reasons I use it... that's not relevant to this site as such, just explains why I don't use an ad-blocker as well - no script is very good at preventing one of the banes of my online life: sites that play audio, especially ad audio, automatically

    Thanks to all that figured that out. I mainly use FireFox and that is the first browser I test with. So I was confused about it not showing for others.

    As to the site being blocked because of adverts? Not sure what that comes from. Maybe the X Builder blocks have ads hidden in them?

    maybe more likely that it's structured in such a way that adblocker sees it as 'ads' - false positive?

    and maybe the 'ADS' site header does not help

    so what is the verdict? I have adblock and it blocked everything some 200+ items, that is just bad.
