    I was just trying to read an article on virtual hideout about that case skin thing. But about half way through there was no way I could concentrate on the photos and text of the article because of the huge number of fast moving flash ads on the right and left. It really was unbearable! So thank you bit-tech for not having 20 ads on both sides of your articles. Thanks for only having one animated one and thanks for not having any damn flash ads!

    aahhh :)

    Thanks, we try to consider the end user as much as possible when dealing (my personally most hated affair) ad banners and the like.

    Though it really is a running battle often - trying to balace a calm clean site free of ads and bother, with an ad mecca that generates enough revenue to keep us comfortably a float.

    Your feedback is much noted, and hugely appreciated (by me at least).

    I always thought it was a fart. :confused:

    Glad sites haven't worked out how to do that one yet!

    They have, they set the launch location to be something like 3000x3000, non maximisable or resizable so the only knowledge you have is in your Task Bar.

    I use CrazyBrowser, so fortunately don't have to suffer any pop ups/offs/unders at all.
    Current pop-up killed count: 1342. :D



    Have to agree with what Dex said originally. Nice clean site makes Hwu a happy reader. :thumb:

    Was on shemes.com the other day, and they had these 'vibrating' adverts. ie, jumping all over the place within a bounding box. Was massively annoying.

    <EDiT>
    Eek, they're on there again!

    opera does my popup killing, and not just cause most javascript is written for ie :p
    [mouse gestures r0x0r, i keep trying to use them to navigate my computer, then i remember i can't yet :(]

    What I really hate is popups that load new popups themselves, I've been on one site using ie that cycled and kept loading and loading and loading and loading them... taskmanager -> kill ie :/

    Also popups that grab your whole screen are annoying, as are popups/unders that grab the browsers attention every minute or so. :grr:

    For the looping popups XP's close group is useful for that ;). Also I have a proper mouse so I don't need mouse gestures :p. And I can use the mouse buttons in windows explorer too.

    I've only killed 68 popups so far with the new tool bar. Still it works better than Popup stopper since it doesn't kill message windows that appear only when clicked on (for example when you click the reply count of a thread).
