935k3 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 No ads on the latest version of Firefox. Friends don't let friends use Internet Explorer. I stopped using IE 8yrs ago and have allot less software issues and pop ups disappeared as soon as I switched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped using IE 8yrs ago and have allot less software issues and pop ups disappeared as soon as I switched. The only issue I have not figured out is why I cannot sign in on EBAY on Firefox??? No script errors and other issues that I had with IE though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Me too. I block ads and pop-ups. Sorry Gregg. It makes the internet so much better not seeing all those adds, one of the advantage's to blcoking adds, just like with pop ups, its safer, less chance of getting malware/spyware on your computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Nobody should still be using IE. There are so many better browsers out there. Using IE is like driving a Model T in 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No script errors and other issues that I had with IE though! Now that is odd, do you get any error message's when you try to log in to the bay? Nobody should still be using IE. There are so many better browsers out there. Using IE is like driving a Model T in 2012. That should be the post of the day, amen Harry, preach it :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johnny Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 It says my ID or password is wrong, but it isn't as I can sign in on IE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 There should be no pop-ups at all. The Google Ads are a static java script, that should show up on the Index Page only. If you have a pop up, it is more likely than not from using a Proxy Server. The Google Ads are a test, to see how they do. Still playing with the sizes, look, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skydime Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Nobody should still be using IE. There are so many better browsers out there. Using IE is like driving a Model T in 2012. I work at home and have to use IE for some programs. They are only made to work in IE. (In keeping with that Harry said, that's craziness!) For the others and personal use I exclusively use Firefox. I just can't get the original right hand column with birthdays etc to come up at all now. Not a big deal though. I collapse them anyway when viewing. At least we now have affirmation that the bots haven't taken over the site. AND it's pretty smart having the ads somehere they do their financial job but, we don't have to do anything we aren't used to as far as getting them off our screen.

Skydime Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I use Firefox and have never seen these. Charlie Larkin Is yours set to keep you logged in? I have mine set to stay remembered but clear everything when I log out. I have to for work. If you haven't seen it, Id suggest not logging out if you don't want to.

Rob Hall Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I hate IE, but with web development, I have to make sure the websites I build work well in IE...though I develop on a Mac and do most of my development and testing w/ Chrome and Firefox, when I test in IE I find all sorts of issues, even w/ IE9.

iBorg Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Well I don't jhave the ads now but I also don't have the latest posts pop-up. I found that very helpful. I'm using Firefox. Any idea how to recover them? Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Well, just now I noticed the ads. They're far enough over to the right so I really don't care.... And I haven't logged on/off in the last day or so. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest G Holding Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 If you don't like the ads...use a proxy server....You will lose other features, but no ads.... I don't care for proxy servers, but from work it can be the only way to get here, to a "hobby" site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
