INFERNAL AD AT THE TOP

[terpkristin]

I don't know what it was advertising, but that FRIGGIN AD at the top of the screen that if you roll your mouse over it starts screaming at you NEEDS TO GO.

DIE EVERYONE OF YOU LAST JERKOFFS WHO DECIDED THAT ADS LIKE THAT NEED TO EXIST.

[yabanci]

[wade moore]

Good lord for the last time to all of you people...

GET OVER IT.

[SirFozzie]

Good lord for the last time to all of you people...

GET OVER IT.

Good lord for the last time to all of you people who want us to shut the f*** up..


YOU FIRST.

[terpkristin]

HOnestly, it's not that I particularly MIND the ads at the top.
I mind them on EVERY site I go to when they make noises and won't shut up until I find the hidden button.

Regular ad? Fine. Screaming ad? Not so much.

And, thanks, SF.

Uh, you said it only does it if you roll your mouse over it, right? I think there's a pretty simple solution.

[Pumpy Tudors]

Uh, you said it only does it if you roll your mouse over it, right? I think there's a pretty simple solution.Destroy your eardrums with a pencil? :confused:

[stevew]

Do they have a "werewolf block" extension for Mozilla?

[Drake]

Destroy your eardrums with a pencil? :confused:

That's what I was thinking.

But it didn't work. My wife says the ad still screams.

[SirFozzie]

Do they have a "werewolf block" extension for Mozilla?

Yes, it's Called BladeWolf.. V6.1.1.9

[Draft Dodger]

click it like 650,000 times. it will go away.

[dawgfan]

I'm curious why there are still holdouts not using Firefox and the Adblock extension...

[MikeVick7]

Good lord for the last time to all of you people...

GET OVER IT.
Let me tell you about that Wendy's ad...

[SnowMan]

I'm curious why there are still holdouts not using Firefox and the Adblock extension...Firefox + adblock + noscript are your friends. :)

[Dutch]

I use IE and haven't seen these ads.

[miami_fan]

I use IE and haven't seen these ads.

Shhhhh You are not supposed to tell everyone!

[Bearcat729]

I'm curious why there are still holdouts not using Firefox and the Adblock extension...


Because I like using Opera.

[kingfc22]

Firefox + adblock + noscript are your friends. :)Just downloaded adblock. Thank you.http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

[terpkristin]

I don't use those because they somehow interfere with my bank's website, in terms of accessing my account.
I have yet to figure out what the heck is wrong on either end, but that is enough of a problem to make me NOT use those.

And besides, I don't really care about the ads at the top...until they start making noise. Stupid git ads. I have the same problem with ESPN.com.

The other ads, because of my issues with my bank, I just put up with.

Shhhhh You are not supposed to tell everyone!

Shhhhh, neither are you!

[VPI97]

I'm curious why there are still holdouts not using Firefox and the Adblock extension...Because Firefox has more bugs than a cheap hotel.

[Rizon]

The ads at the top don't bother me as much as the 11 cookies that I have to deny each day I visit. I'm not the fucking cookie monster ok.

Or each time I view a thread I have to view 15 pages of ads (or if I block them, blank screens).

unlike IE which is rock solid

[VPI97]

unlike IE which is rock solidInternet Explorer has more security holes, but at least it allowed me to see more than 60% of the sites that I had bookmarked. Just opening Firefox caused my last laptop to have a nervous breakdown.

Firefox is not compatable with laptops, only with towers.

ok, that makes a bit more sense. I can accept that answer. :D

[Drake]

Firefox runs better on my laptop than it does on my tower. Weird.

Rizon - have you tried just shutting down third party cookies with Firefox? That solves most of my annoying cookie micromanagement, but I should warn you that I'm a pretty boring surfer. I only surf about a half dozen sites a day.

[sovereignstar]

Yeah, I just ran into this ad for the first time. Anyone that thinks it's as easy as not rolling over the thing is a fucking retard.

[Drake]

I ran into at home the other night. It woke my kids up. I was not a happy camper.

[kingnebwsu]

No sounds should be made from my web browser...that's right. I went there.

[Anthony]

who says "infernal" nowadays? seriously. last time i heard "infernal" i was watching a Scooby Doo cartoon and the villain was like "and i would have got away with it, too, if it wasn't for you infernal kids!".

[3ric]

If Firefox isn't accepted by a website, you can use IETab with it specifically, even getting it to automatically open with IE, inside a Firefox tab.

[Izulde]

Do what I do... turn the sound off on your comp.

[wbatl1]

Folks, to me its a simple problem. Use all that firefox stuff, No ads.

[MIJB#19]

Folks, to me its a simple problem. Use all that firefox stuff, or use IE and the yellow skin. No ads.Sshh, we don't want to have the Sportplanet crew find out they missed a skin.

[Tekneek]

I dropped by the board at work the other day. I had headphones on and did not hear the screaming, but the rest of the office did. Time to make sure the audio is off on all the computers here, I suppose.

The ad bar also crashes every browser on my primary workstation (Linux(Debian)), so while that is good for productivity, it means slightly less traffic to the board.

sorry, wont do any more talking :)

[sovereignstar]

No.

[Glengoyne]

That's what I was thinking.

But it didn't work. My wife says the ad still screams.
This one got me. Laugh out Loud.

[Anthony]

i'm going to be honest here - the ads don't bother me. especially the ones at the top.

[sterlingice]

Aspiring cartoonish supervillains everywhere should use it. tk is just trying to be the next Cobra Commander, Megatron, or Skeletor :)

SI

[Ben E Lou]

Skeletor :)http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/showpost.php?p=139106&postcount=19

[stevew]

Is there an adblock type extension for IE, specifically the IE 7 beta. I've tried to deal with firefox, I'm just tired of it dumping my cookies and having to reenter passwords. Now I cant get the pictures to work in it, and a bunch of other stuff that just makes me mad.

[Desnudo]

Think yellow.
