Interesting "fins" on the wing tips. I can't help but think all they would have done is create drag and turbulence !!?

An obvious attempt at a sail plane! Can it be reefed?

Have you got an add blocker enabled?

Marc,

It's also very likely your script blocker is stopping it (if you have one active). You will have to allow Facebook to run scripts on the page.

I have a very effective ad blocker and I don't need to turn it off to see the post.

.

Might I suggest its not quite as effective as you might think, if you can see the content, then FB et al are tracking you, therefore you are not actually blocking the ads, just the presentation of (some) of them.

As for my own infra, I use a PiHole to block ads and tracking at the router/DNS level. I see the same result on both work's laptop and my own iPad.

I use Firefox browser and got the same message. So I tried using Chrome and I got it to work.
The obvoius pun is " an early sail plane" Sorry. :roll:
