Floating adds

[solbjerg]

Sometimes one gets an add floating around in the reading space (usually a Google sponsored one)

This is very irritating and impeeds the reading of the posts.

Could this please be removed!!

Cheers

tip on ie7 pro deselect the download manager i prefer a different one [DAP]

 

TICK in centre list of options "AD BLOCKER" this will then block ads also to block small pop ups from coloured text

goto ad blocker in left margin and add this in the filter

Hi, sunny

 

I've been using IE8 for a few days and must say it's a vast improvement on the IE7 I had. My only gripe is that the two websites I really want it to save passwords for won't, while most of the others will. From what I've read on other forums it's possibly a security problem, although FireFox saves the passwords for these two sites no problem at all.

I have used RoboForm for a while now and I am very happy with it. It has not caused a problem for me and you can have 10 loggins for the free version.

i am avoiding ie8 for now i do not think it is ready to try as a beta and should be in the alpha stage.

 

its best to have 2 browsers one for money/banks and the other for general surfing.

Hi, Valuater,

 

That sounds good as I only want two or three anyway.

[Ted]

That's what I'm doing at the moment.

 

Thanks, sunny,

FYI, the present release of IE is RC1.

 

We had Beta1 and Beta2 before.

 

Cheers.

Enough with the Ads

 

Thanks Sunny for the IE tip,but as you know,I'm not a user.I'm sure this will benefit many of our readers though.My problem,as a FF user,is that I have a bad habit of "mouse over" reading(using the arrow to scan the lines as I read).I remember finding something a while back that was supposed to stop these types of adds from displaying with a mouse-over.Options to include "show nothing" or "add is present-click to read" and so forth.Well, it didn't work.So, does anyone know of some settings I'm missing in FF or a third party app. that will prevent ads from displaying when you mouse over underlined or highlighted text?This old habit of mine is near impossible to break.

you will have to convert back to IE to sort this one i do not know of any FF ad blockers that kill the small pop ups from coloured text.

 

not to late to change.

Too Bad

 

Thanks Sunny,I'll live with the ads first. http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Firefox/firefox8.gif

did you try ie7 pro and the ad blocking settings?

[detailer]

No Sunny,I didn't.I flat out refuse to run IE.It's the slowest and most unsafe browser on the face of the planet. I do,however,appreciate your efforts to assist me. http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Firefox/firefox24.gif

Kill the spartan but don't be unjust to him!!!:lol:

Hey, detailer.... Not in my case. IE8 RC1 runs rings around FF and Opera both for initial load up speed and subsequent loadings. I am aware that IE is partially loaded at bootup. Hopefully, they're working on the safety aspect.

[Ted]

Hi, sunny,

 

Do you know if IE7Pro is compatible with IE8 RC1? There was a new version released in early February 2009, but it doesn't mention anything about IE8.

Unjust...? I thought that was a fitting burial!

[vman]

Microsoft has a lot of improvements to do before their users trust them again... IE6 (and below) were so bad...its hard to think that microsoft is actually doing something about it.

Hi Ted-Take a look at your process manager after you read this article.Let me know if those claims are true.

[sunny staines]

i find FF & IE7 similar no noticeable speed in any to the naked eye. perhaps in micro seconds in lab tests but again we all have our pc's tweaked different.

 

 

I use both but prefer ie.

Hi Ted,

 

Yes IE7Pro is doinng well with IE8 RC1.

 

Hey guys,

Anybody having any problems when writing or editing posts in this forum especially with IE8?

Most probably it is becaue of IE8, but I have a suspicion about the version of our IObit Forum.

 

Cheers.

Hi, enoskype,

 

Thanks for that, I'll get it, then.

 

I'm having no problems at all with IE8 on this forum.
