| | | Pop-up ads
Is it just me or does anybody else in here have problems with certain popup ads freezing up your GB browser? It happens more with the Atari popups and now the Verizon popups. I have to close and reload GB almost everytime one of those ads popup.

Sometimes I don't even get the add, just an empty GB screen.

| | | I get that too actually. Just a blank screen. Sometimes reloading the page will fix it, other times I have to completely close out and then start a new browser.

and you should find that the problems vanish completely.

| | I use firefox, and really never have popups of any kind. Occasionally I'll end up with just a string of code on a grey screen, but livejournal.com does that too so I think that's just random error's of some sort.
I have noticed that occasionally, the font will randomly change when I'm posting. Not for what I'm typing, but the whole site overall. That confuses me. I'm not sure if that's me hitting some combination of keys and having my hand slip onto the control key and making that happen, or just random occurance.

| | Buck doesn't have direct control over the advertisments on the site, that is the adverstiment company which provides the adds.
Also as a little post script, we also have to remember that the adds are what helps pay to keeping the board running.  |

| | | Right, advertisements are necessary to help pay for the site, but can't something be done so that the ads aren't affecting the functionality of the site? For example: the problems I'm having aren't that they're just annoying but rather that Atari ad tends to completely freeze up my browser causing me to have to open a new one and sign back in. very annoying.

| | | The pop-up ads don't bother me much... What bothers me however is the ads you can't mute.

| | I make it so I stay logged in on my computer, saved the password and username and it does so automatically for me. Perhaps that would solve that problem for you? When I use another computer, I end up with a starting ad that says it opens once every 24 hours, I don't get that anymore on mine since I left it with the automatic sign in.

| | | Yeah, I guess if I'm going to have to keep coming back in every time that ad pops up, I should probably just save that security info. At least I won't have to sign in every time it happens then.
