Is it just me, or does anyone else find that South Africa, promotionaal popup really really annoying!!!

Popups in general seem to annoy most people, but scoobynet always used to near advertising free.

Obviously i dont mind differnt forum section adverts... it is the other ones such as South Africa one you get every time you load thepage, sky advertising etc....

Argh..... (lol)

(Daily moan on hear instead of people at home!)

 

get google toolbar and some ad blocking software....
or dont use Internet explorer.....

 

Lol.... yeh i guess that is the option...

Any recommendations of a good browser then?

 

On Mac, "Safari" Main menu option "Block pop-up windows - K"

I believe Firefox is good too, and available for PC.

 

Look at Firefox, it is extremely easy to change, I dithered for ages and then wondered why.

Just download and install and it will automatically port across all your IE favourites etc.

It allows tabbed browsing, unlike IE, I currrently have one episode of it on my taskbar, but have 4 websites open on tabs at the top of the page, that I can swap easily between. I even have it set up to open with my favourite 4 websites as home pages on 4 tabs.

There are alos many extensions that you can add that do a huge variety of things, including adblock which does exactly what you were asking in your first post.

All in all highly recommended, and that is before you even consider that there are far fewer security issues with FF than IE.

Cheers for that... will look into it now....

Thanks
