I've just changed back from SeaMonkey to Firefox & Thunderbird, if I find more of these sites I may have to switch back.

That's one of the reasons - although not the main one - why Flashblock is such a popular Firefox addon.

I do have Flash, but it doesn't matter as that site doesn't use Flash. And yes, the site loads fine with SeaMonkey 1.1.7 (Weilbacher version) Indidentally, it's easy to see if Flash is present or not, just do so,e RMB click on the page.

Why when I removed Flash support it loaded, I don't know except if perhaps the unwanted pop up / incroacher used flash ?? In any case, now with flash back on and No_Script active, the page loads clean and a message states that scripts have been blocked.

If Flash is there, you'll see a Flash popup menu. Er, Kris, Ed's original point was that the page wasn't loading. It would close the browser after about 75% of the page was downloaded but none rendered. So I infer there was no opportunity to RMB click.
