Ads can't let me play anything

That used to happen to me sometimes, just close the tab and then hit Ctrl+shift+T and it'll re-open the tab. If that doesn't work then i don't know.

supporting the site would get rid of those pesky ads
Whenever I have an issue with ads on ng, I just turn on adblock temporarily.
Well there are two routes to choose from, OP.
One is the shady route, where you get adblock and keep it on for NG.
The other is the clean route, where you buy the supporter package.
Most people'll go for the shady route in a heartbeat, but know this, while you're out blocking ads, you are directly killing the developers' and the artist's ad revenue. They need that revenue to keep on making the games and animations you play and watch.
Dude I had the most annoying problems while I had adblock disabled for Newgrounds. The one I can best think of right now is how the ads didn't load at all and defaulted to a replay button - which did nothing - and stopped the flash from loading for even showing up.
Seriously love the Miestas zeitgeist....

Well, adblock is free.
The supporter upgrade costs money.
Don't they forward some of their "Supporter" profit to the artists?

Only filthy communists use adblock on NG.

Isn't buying the Supporter badge pretty much an ethical, permanent adblock?

It's the only way to block ads on NG if you're not a filthy communist.

Also get AdBlock, you can get a free version that works very well.

Why pay to a dying site, when you can get that which is universal and will stop ads on every damn site wanting to pop them up.
Nobody should have to "support NG" just because Tom sold out.
We have a few frustrating issues with ads that we're working to fix. This is an ad supported site, so obviously it's in everyone's best interests if the ads work well and don't do things like break Flash.
The workaround to ads crashing Flash is to disable adblock on newgrounds.com. Again, we ARE working to fix this.
Nobody has to pay to be a supporter and nobody has to disable adblock, but obviously we appreciate it when people support us either way. This also helps fund the content creators that upload to NG. We're not backed by a megacorp, so your support is what keeps this site alive.
Hopefully we can continue to make the ads on Newgrounds as frustration free and unobtrusive as possible.
