ANNOYING Advertisments
 

Does anyone else (especially from the UK) get those REALLY annoying 'Congratulations You Won' banners all over JoviTalk? They flash very fast and they are starting to hurt my eyes!!

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Nope, I use adblock in firefox, don't see any adverts :D

I hate them too. And people who fall for it must be pretty stupid.

Yeah get them too (don't use any adblock...). Must be real great for photosensitive epileptics :?.

Why especcialy the UK?

yeah get them also sometimes, I've already won a new car, been on 2 holidays, received 1 million$ and am still waiting for my new HDTV


(new Internet Explorer blocks them also, btw I like the new IE more then Firefox, all the good things that Firefox has are better in the new IE)

Thanks for the info buddy!!! I had totally forgotten about this useful feature. I've installed it and it works perfectly.


Surely people don't ACTUALLY fall for these damn things?


Funny you should mention this. It's EXACTLY what I was thinking.... The majority of the adverts didn't really bother me, but the 'super-flashy' ones did start to hurt my eyes and give me headaches and I don't even suffer from epilepsy.


Reason being, because different territories get different adverts, therefore I was inquiring to see if other UK users got the same ones that I did. :)

Thanks to Neil, I no longer see these :D

Ok, think I get that ad as long as there are ads on this board.

Also for some reason at one minute I am the 10.000th visitor and 10 minutes later I'm suddenly the 1 million visitor. I'm suprised the server never gets overheated by that many visitors in 10 minutes.

That's quite possibly the most amusing thing I have seen you write on this board :)

I do remember someone saying in all honesty that they had got this thing about being the 1,000,000 visitor or something. Really. That's when I realised they were doing the trick with some people.

How do you block these things on the new IE?! Would love to know.

Ah, here it is:

IE 7 has a pop-up blocker wich seems to work as good as firefox one.

The other day I got an add that I could shoot ducks!! it was fun.

Did you win? :)

Duckhunt, how I miss that

Oh, I know and use that, of course. But these flashing ads aren't pop-ups - they're embedded on the page.

Aah, had a rough weekend. I don't care for those, just ignore them.

yes I get flashed to ! However I read and move the page quite quickly so it doesnt bother me....

I can believe they are still going , who the hell is clicking on them.

More importantly how much longer will I be a JOVI GEEK ! Can I have a prize 'to choose my name' due to staying power , as Im the 1st person to register on this board and Im still here... PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I hate being a jovi geek :cry:
