We were out of money. I took care of it. The funds should process through in 24 hours or so. Until then, please bear with us.

What is with the spasmodic banners? Sometimes they're up, and sometimes, they're not.

Am I delusional?

Nope. Yesterday they tried to instal spyware software on my computer, and it was only through insistant clicking of 'Cancel' buttons that I managed to avoid it.

Does fbmf have a place where we can go to donate money to keep this site open? Even though I argue with quite a few people here, that's half the fun anyways. :D

You failed your spot check... ;)

At the bottom of the main index, there's a bold line that reads: User Donations. There's a spot to click right after, but I'll link to it here, too: Link to donate to fbmf's boards.

Donated to the cause. It looks like it wasn't enough to stop the ads. (Meh, maybe it was ... :) )

Not to mention the pop ups. :screams:

Adding insult to injury is the fact that there is a good chance with every post I'll get the "sever too busy" screen.

Well here's what I did a month ago.

http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

I
edited my hosts file. This site provides the info to insert, covering a huge list of common spam sites.

They will simply not show up on your browser. In some cases the window will appear but be empty, but for most you just won't even know unless you look for the white space where it should be.

Oh, and go to services.msc and turn off + Disable DNS client.

Yeah I realize to some here this is preaching to the choir but it seemed that others like tzor really need it!

Actually I never had a problem with the pop ups, except that my current setings had my IE constantly tell me "Look what I did daddy, I just blocked a pop up. Aren't I cute? Would you like to see it? No? OK."

I have an old computer that doesn't do that, but I just didn't wiew the pages on them. I have a similiar "problem" with Cool Mini or Not which does popups unless you are logged in (to a paid account) so when I get logged off I can easily notice that fact.

I think I could turn off that setting but then I would never know how much the sortware is working for me.
