ads slow down forum

[munim2020]

Just a small complaint..
those flash and pricegrabber ads really slow down the website a lot.. makes life difficult for ppl with not so fast internet connections.. i am not asking you to completely remove all the ads.. see if you can do something about it.

Ad Blockers ftw :D

Gah. I'm trying to view all these ads and this forum keeps popping up and slowing it down.

www.forumblocker.com FTW!

Yeah I use the AdBlock extension for firefox on most of the ads here. They were really causing problems for me a while back.

Now you're going to make MY head explode. :D

If the ads keep the site around, I don't mind seeing them. ;)

Seeing them doesnt do the site any good if you dont click on em. :p

I'm not sure about the ads on this site, but I thought some ad models didn't require click throughs for the site to get paid.

I hope not, or I've been clicking these for no reason... just to do my part. :p

Even if we don't have to click the ads, at least your trigger finger will be in shape :)

I believe we need Adobe Flash 9 for these ads... These are very up-to-date ads. :D

Can you install Firefox onto a USB drive and carry that around? The guys at uni who refused to use linux on the dual boot computers did that.

I still get that too, even on fresh installs. Thank god I don't use IE.

I use IE and my computer stopped crashing when I updated Flash. I will start trying to figure what is causing this problem for some of you.

What is it from? I use IE at my college over the network everyday and I haven't had a problem yet.. I hope I don't start crashing....:o

Yep, that cleared it up. It's wierd that the flash code just crashes IE when the updated flash player isn't present.

Ya that happens to someone everytime they re-format ot something. I know I have asked that same question at leats 3 times in here. :o

I'm using IE7 and it works beautifully. Though I do know what you guys are referring to.

Another forum I visit (once in a blue moon ;) ) is AMDZone.com- and their adds make the site take forever to load. That is one main reason I seldom frequent that site. I'm not too patient I guess. :o

Ya, that's how I am with any site. If ad's make the site load slowly then I am liek **** it. If I am trying ot buy somethign off their site, then they just lost my business. I don't want to wait forever.

[munim2020]

thats the point.. no one likes to wait for some ads.. we don't need them.. if the website needs them for revenue, the least they can do is see that it loads fast and doesn't interrupt the browsing!!
