ciao a tutti -

<rant>
is it just my laptop (and all three browsers i use) that is having trouble with getting pages to load on ducati.ms recently? 

i know that almost everyone here hates the bastards of the cold white north for screwing up the dmf, and that they also have screwed up ducati.ms ... but shit ... do they just not get that users who can't get pages to laod because of all the bullshit adds, will stop going to their forums?

Yes, it is really bad with all the ads.  Here is how to solve it ... add these lines to your etc/hosts file (wherever that is depending on your OS):



127.0.0.1   m1.2mdn.net
127.0.0.1   ads.verticalscope.com
127.0.0.1   ad.doubleclick.net
127.0.0.1   oascentral.verticalscope.com
127.0.0.1   afe.specificclick.net
127.0.0.1   adopt.specificclick.net

It will cause all the ad requests to go to your local computer.  This will greatly speed up the site.

If you use Firefox, there's an AdBlock add-in that'll eliminate most of the ads.

Is that ducati.ms or the DML, and where did you get that info?

And what are the vertical axis units?
