Same here - probably because NoScript blocks scripts from the evil 💩 doubleclick.net, so I still don't see any ads. 
(Any chance of fixing that, so I can support the site without selling my soul to Google?)

I'm not actively blocking anything on CP; but I have to use IE10 to visit the site at work due to a Works on Everyone's Machine but Mine clusterelephant with the MITM HTTPS proxy and the CDN setup you're using to host javascript/style sheets (*herp*ummm i dunno, we could try deleting your profile and reformatting your laptop*derp*), and either your ad scripts don't load anything in the obsolete browser or some lesser variant of the same CE is preventing them from loading. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

We're moving hosting providers and CDN providers in the next couple of weeks. I'm hoping that fixes your issues.

Yeah. Currently CP is one of the very few pages where AdBlock and Ghostery are disabled. The ads aren't really bothering me neither. They usually are relevant as well.
If I find myself using a site a bit more often I try to see how the page looks with ads. If the ads aren't intrusive (blocking view on content, flashing, blinking whatever) then I usually consider whitelisting it.

Right, the ComputerWorld.com, InfoWorld.com, CIO.com etc sites have used a new obnoxious style.
I even created an RSS READER and shared it with CPers so you can see the list of articles and then click on the link and read the content in a clean view.
See the live RSS Reader at: http://newtonsaber.com/FreedReadR/[^]
You don't have to create an account to use it. Drop the list to ComputerWorld and you'll see the list of current articles. Quite a few CPers have tried it.
Also, I wrote a CP article on how I built that RSS Reader (FreedReadR) :
FreedReadR: RSS Reader Created With AngularJS (part 2 of 2)[^]

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Take careful note of the advertisers and be sure to never ever use their product or service.
Likewise, not any commercial vehicles that insist on driving in front of you at ridiculously low speeds in non-passable areas, and don't use their services, either.

Our two-man team is trialling InteGREAT. It has complete end-to-end management, but the key features that we like are the ability to auto-generate key documents such as the requirements spec and data dictionary, and that it syncs the backlog with visual studio online.
Does anyone know of any credible competitors that have these key features?
Many thanks

End to end. Management.
How will I ever get rid of the picture that appeared when I read that?

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Ian, you need to be careful here. You don't have a history of posting in the lounge so it would be easy for people to view this message as spam. As you didn't just join today, I'm prepared to give you the benefit of the doubt. Others might not, though.

So was it you that results in a 'Posted spam or abusive message' on my 'reputation'? The way things are going it might be the last thing i ever post.

No, it wasn't. I did say I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.
How many points was the abuse vote?
