Re: Oh hey banners.
Didn't we just clear these up?
They're not just annoying, they also seem to grab the focus and sometimes the page I intend to go to shows up in the teenytiny popup instead of the ad.

Re: Oh hey banners.
I presume you're talking about ad-banners, since I don't see them.
I advise:
Firefox+Adblock Plus, or other browser + Privoxy(configuring it takes some learning, but I used it before I switched to Firefox)
There are probably other solutions out there.
Nothing I can think of will help with a library/work computer you can't self-configure, tho

Re: Oh hey banners.
Yeah, it doesn't help me if I block the page the popup is going to; I assume that's why it gets through my blocker.

Re: Oh hey banners.
I think Crissa's talking about the popups we're also occasionally getting now. Unfortunately, since bbboy uses a popup login window, you have to allow popups from them in order to post. I believe Opera's popup blocker can actually discriminate between the login window and the ads, but you might run into weirdness on other web pages with Opera.
And Adblock/Adblock Plus only work on ads placed within a page (like the banners we're getting at the top of the forum), not on popups, AFAIK.

Re: Oh hey banners.
Ahhh... I have my browser set so that popups get opened in a new tab, so I don't even notice that they are supposed to be popups.
I also have Javascript Options, NoScript, and a bunch of other addons, some of which may make a difference.

I have the pop-ups blocked but I am still able to get the logon window in IE. I don't know how I did that.

Yes, it can. I had no idea that there were banners or pop-ups. I am not getting either. I don't have problems with other websites, either.
My son makes me laugh. Maybe he'll make you laugh, too.

Re: Oh hey banners.
Pop ups gone now.
I don't like how applying text tags shunts to the end of any text, but it's an OK board host and coding. Not great, but OK.
