Anybody else getting pop ups when going to A.Org?
Noticed it today.
-
Er, no. But then again that could be me using Firebird, or Phoenix..or FireFox..or FireEngine, whatever it's name for this week is.
-
im not aware of any popup's for amiga.org. Im sure if one was added us moderators would of been told. Perhaps you have a virus or something in IE? Id suggest downloading and installing FireFox. I have it installed on my PC... not that Ive used it yet, I always surf in Ibrowse2.3 :-)
-
I'm using Opera (use Opera) with "accept popups" set. I've not seen any popups today (use Opera) or every on AO. I assume (use Opera) you are using IE. Is windows (use Opera) messenger running?
-
None here. I am posting this on Ibrowse 2,3 but also use Firefox on a Mac at times too.
-
I was using IBrowse at the time.
And Amiga.Org was the first site visited.
-
i have never seen any popups.. I use both a Pegasos and a PC from work.
-
Download and install a spybot sweeper. From the sound of things you have one of the many potential adware programs installed with some form of agent running in the background. Find the agent and kill it.
Also, don't use IE. IE is the worst browser you can use right now. There are tons of security problems and lack of features that are almost a requirement nowdays (popup blockers). Don't bother with 3rd party blockers, use a program that has the blocking installed with it (Opera, Fire#?, Mozilla, whatever).
Anyway, bed time.

I use opera, (no-popups), and i decided to open amiga.org with IE, didn't have ne pop-ups. And i made my own version of msn messenger so i know what the code is doing...
-
No pop-up warnings here with Firefox...
I've moved this to 'amiga general chat', as it was hardly an announcement :-)
-
Hi,
no popups here, useing IB2.3.
Have you a dialup connection?
Ciao
-
Hmm, I get no popups on IE, Firefox, iB 1 & 2...
Haven't been surfing one-handed have we, Fade? :-D
-
Heh, I've always been of the impression that Fade was a woman...don't know where I got that from, though.
I guess she could still be doing the one-handed thing, but it's more of a male thing, isn't it?
Sincerely,
-Kenneth Straarup.

Just a friendly reminder. Keep it clean, this is a family forum. Carry on then.

I figured (s)he was too arrogant to be a female. Arrogance tends to be a male thing too. Arrogance and single handed Google image searching. With SafeSearch switched off.
That's clean! It's 100% pure innuendo! :-)

Do an impersonation of a "Japanease helicopter pilot"... and look in the mirror :-o
-
But... what do Japanese helicopter pilots do? Masturbate at 3,000 feet?
...
I'm dumb. :-(

A Helicopter pilot has his joy stick in this right hand... and when one is aproaching the vinegar strokes, the grin become large an toothy... and the eyes screw up... Now imagine that pilot again...
oh never mind... just replace that phrase with bashing ones bishop... :-D

This reminds me of a Guy I knew at University; Steve (my old flat mate) and myself had a reputation for being rather lewd and taking the piss out of people and generally making sexual jokes... non stop.
Anyway there was a bunch of us sitting in the common room, and Steve and myself abeing our usual selves... the converstaion was slowly drifing towards a strange young gentleman who we shall call Luke (for that was his name), and in a preemptive stike against us he said "You can't take the piss out of me, I've not had sex!"
Poor guy... he sort of opened a flood gate with that one... :-D
Ho hum... happy days...
-

I should say that Neither myself or Steve took the piss out of him after that day (since he rather kill all out mateerial with that one comment), but instead everyone else did :-o
Anyway he went on to get a 1st and is now working on a PhD... Damn this Karmic curse, a shame upon the universe, it knows it's lines, it's well rehearsed. :-(
