Advert Doom!

...or something.

This has happened to me three times today. I gather it's auto-generated code, therefore a quick hearty slap to the ad provider (Burst?) may be in order?

Havn't seen that one SPeedY .. ALL I ever get is Vonage ads at the top of both forum and frontpage

**j79zlr** · May 20th, 2004

ads? me no see no stinking ads

**SPeedY_B** · May 20th, 2004

Thanks for supporting the site.

**j79zlr** · May 20th, 2004

I click on the google ads because they dont bother me.

Besides the Vonage flash ads use about 30% CPU if I don't block them.

Yeah the flash ads can be annoying sometimes but you can right click and uncheck play and then they are still and no longer cause you to go insane

No idea what could have caused that mate, I know Burstnet hae been making alot of cahgnes recently, but I don't think the result of that would affect one user!

**Electronic Punk** · May 30th, 2004

Has it happened again or not ? :0

**Khayman** · May 30th, 2004

I never saw it :confused:

Yup, about ten minutes ago.

I'll grab the source next time it does it.

**Electronic Punk** · June 4th, 2004

ok mate.

**SPeedY_B** · June 4th, 2004

It did it again, however due to the lovely Java-Scripty output of doom, the source remains the same regardless of what ad is showing. Quite annoying, however I think I'm going to put this down to Safari and KHTML being a wibbling pile of weird (ie: I'll blame my browser

)

**Electronic Punk** · June 4th, 2004

excellent.

Got that beat, no ads, and the page adjusts to use the space the ad was taking up.

**gonaads** · June 4th, 2004

Me too, at home... Firefox, AD-Blocking to the max.

But at work I use Mozilla with no Ad_Blocking... so I can help Pay EP's bills.

Otherwise it's the "rack" for me (they theatened me... really).

You have no idea how much that annoys me, but we won't get into that to stay on topic.

Fox? Go back to the Lizard

**SPeedY_B** · June 4th, 2004

I'll re-phrase then:

don't want to go back to <any other browser here> though, it's no where near as nice as Safari :\
