Geonovast Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Every once in a great while, usually when I haven't logged in in awhile (Generally I'm on at least 3 times a day), I'll log in and it won't have the orange icons showing new posts, even though the time stamps tell otherwise. Just wondering what could cause this...I hope nobody's hacking into my account?
Pete M Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Our free forum software has some glitches in it. :roll:
jtdesigns Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 I've noticed if I open a new tab while having one already opened, it like clears the unread post..

skimore11 Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 I use the new since last visit button on the right. I wonder if its affected?
SuperWade2 Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Our free forum software has some glitches in it. :roll: I'd be happy to pitch in a few bucks for a non-free Forum Software version, something like Vbulletin... Wouldn't take many small donations to get the $170 or whatever for something non-free... :D
Twisty Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Our free forum software has some glitches in it. :roll: We can't complain! I've been to many free sites that have really obnoxious advertisments plastered everywhere. This board is nice and clean :brows: .
Pete M Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 I'm sure we will be getting some non-free forum software eventually. But NO obnoxious ads. EVER!
jtdesigns Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 I'm sure we will be getting some non-free forum software eventually. But NO obnoxious ads. EVER! good cause I hate when I'm on other forums I'm part of and something like "car" or "intake" is highlighted and underlined like a link and it pops up a small lil ad selling bodykits or something ghey like that.. Just go with the K.I.S.S. philosophy on this one.. I hate having to scan through a bunch of ad's on the side and top too... esp the animated ones... my A.D.D. kicks in real good,,,,,
Pete M Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Get firefox and use the ad-blocker add-on and those ads will disappear forever.
jtdesigns Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 I do have fire fox.. how do I do the ad-blocker ??

Pete M Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 I do have fire fox.. how do I do the ad-blocker ?? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865 You'll need to upload adblocker, upload the file library of common ads, and restart firefox. Although not necessarily in that order.

Although not necessarily in that order. works like a charm!! did you subscribe to easy list when you did the add-on??
Pete M Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Yes. Works pretty good. Only a few ads I've had to kill since then. But once you right-click and block the ad, it doesn't come back. Although on some websites they have a revolving list of ads for a specific location on the page and I had to block each one individually when I saw it.
