Problems with popups
|
|
|
Whenever I visit this website I get some of the popups on my computer screen. They are for date sites and medication most of the time. Also they are for places to shop for the toys. I think this is a new way for you to make money for the site because it did not happen before but I do not like it. It is very frustrating. Please let the owner of the site know that I find it distractive.
This post has been blessed by me.

I would check your pc for adware and spyware if I was you, I have no problems with pop ups when I visit this site. Also you ought to use a pop uo blocker, there is one incotporated into service pack two for windows xp, or you could install the google toolbar which has a good pop up blocker as well.

Indeed, I have never had a single pop-up advert from TW. Which is a blessed state, of course.

Once again, I recommend Mozilla and Adblock. That's how you get rid of all the ads on this site. And all the other sites as well.

Bet you never thought, as you were going through School etc, that you would end up being an advisor to the Pope did you Kati?
Have you upgraded to Firefox, the latest version of Mozilla? I have but with this site, it always goes to the first page of a thread rather than the first new post, and on some other sites it doesn't change the colour of a thread to show you have looked at it, both minor but annoying habits.

Of course! But I haven't noticed that problem until actually a few days ago, and I've had the Firefox for much longer now, so, I'd say it's just this site again.

Regarding firefox, yet again, when I click on an embedded link on TW (and other places probably) Firefox opens another window, and not a new tab, is there a way of changing this?

Go to Tools > Options > Advanced. If I understood correctly (which is uncertain, I use multiple windows myself) you should be able to set it from there. If not, you can always right click and choose 'open link in new tab'.
Also, I've noticed that when I to a thread from the forum index it takes me to the first new post, but when I use the next/previous buttons to navigate between threads it takes me to the first post.
