Hi. I'm a subscriber to the digital version of the NY Times. I mostly 
read it using Safari on my IMac. I am running Mavericks and the latest 
version of Safari.

Anyway, I don't know if there are other NY Times readers in this group, 
but I thought I'd post my problem anyway.

This is what's happening:

Apparently there is a large, Flash ad on the NY Times main page. For 
some reason, the ad is not showing up when I view the page in Safari. 
It is showing up when I view the page in Chrome. I'm not sure why it's 
different Safari. I do have the Ad Blocker extension installed in 
Safari but I also have it turned off.

Anyway, when I try to click on some of the headlines on the NY Times 
page, the page thinks I'm clicking on the invisible Flash ad. If I 
right-click on some of the headlines, I get the Flash contextual menu.

So, I can't access many of the articles on the page. Does anyone know 
what is going on?

I will send a message to the NY Times, but the part of their website 
for sending feedback is currently down.

Thanks.

Sky
