Banner ad blocking
Steve Hayes wrote:
Hey Burro Burrow, Banner ads are the reason losts of web sites are free to view. Get used to it. 2001 called, they want their irritating advertising tactic back. Ever since Google launched Adwords, non intrusive plain text ads are the way to go. And seriously, every modern browser (IE7+ and every single version of Firefox ever) have had popup blocking built in, so why is this even a problem anymore? ------------------------------------- A few years ago I actually spent an hour or so one evening filling the bathtub to different levels, approximating the rotational velocities, measuring the vortex diameters, noting the rotational direction, and calculating forces (...like I said in an earlier post, I make a point of being easily amused...;^)...) -- Alan Swithenbank ------------------------------------- |

Any such blocking would be the function of the browser, not the OS, as Richard alluded to by stating it as not being a function of XP. ....then you threw a hissy-fit and alienated any possible helpers. Nice going! D |

"Heather" wrote in message ... "JohnD66" wrote in message ... "Richard Pounder" wrote in message ... Not only does Windows XP not have anything to block banner ad programs, they don't have anything to block pop-ups. Thanks for the correction, asshole. Nice mouth!! It doesn't exactly make anyone want to help you out Nobody did, when I posted a curteous question, stupid. .........and AFAIN, IE7 certainly does block pop-ups........but I primarily use Firefox and it DEFINITELY does block them via the use of "AdBlock"........which is a small program you add to the browser. Now.......don't be rude or I shall be forced to get the bar of Sunlight Soap out and shove it down your throat!! (G) OK, I'll politely tell you to lose 40 pounds and maybe you'll be able to attract a new girlfriend, if you use the soap to decrease the smell. If you shave your legs and your upper lip, maybe you could even get a guy, who knows. "JohnD66" wrote in message ... I recently changed AV programs from Kaspersky to Norton/Symantec.

The first 2 lines were in reply to your question - a perfectly correct and precise answer. Look now at your reply below that, and then go figure why any one should want to help you in future. ------------------------------------- A big enough hammer fixes anything. ------------------------------------- |
