Hi,
Is anyone else bugged by these popups ,I am on a dialup connection and they have slowed my connection to this forum something horrible, I have to wait sometimes minutes for a page to open and sometimes move on because I get so frustrated by them.

RE: popups

George,

While we all understand that the ads are the profit making vehicle that drives the internet and GW they are becoming more and more obnoxious and "in your face".

When you are planning to view the forum go into your browser's settings area and disable java and java script. That will prevent the pop ups from activating as they use those languages to launch themselves. I know its a pain to do but it's better than putting up with the ads.

RE: popups

When one of these pop-ups appears, you can often discover what program is displaying it by right-clicking on it with your mouse, and then left-clicking clicking on 'Properties'. One of the more obtrusive pop-ups seems to be displayed by a 'plug-in' called Macromedia Flash Player. It may help if you search for 'flash player' and delete it's files too.

Hi All,
Thanks for the information,as you state we no they help to pay the bills,but surely enough is enough, I post on quite a few forums but I just happen to like the people on this one otherwise I would have packed my bags and gone, because the popups are taking the pleasure out of the forum

George,

Lots of weird stuff going on. Thurdsday I couldn't log on. I keep getting a box saying although this is a secure site there was insecure data here. I finnaly had to say yes about the insecure data in order to post. Now I have to log in each time I want to post even though I Check the box that indicates I won't have to mess with it. Big hassle.

I was in a lot of places trying to log on the forum and one of the areas delt with the pop ups. IT STATED IF YOU ARE A CONTRIBUTING MEMBER THEY BLOCK THE POP UPS FOR YOU, otherwise this is how they pay for the site.

Cheers June
