| 189487 | 2003-11-06 21:19:00 | It doesn't do it in firebird 0.7 and mozilla 1.4, it just leaves the area blank. If installing one of the above isn't an option it might be possible to import the hosts file into the browser image blocker. It wouldn't be hard to write a linux script to do it, but getting one to run on windows would be a bit harder. |

| 189489 | 2003-11-06 22:01:00 | Convert your hosts file over form 127.0.0.1 format to 0.0.0.0 format. That will fix it and should speed it up a tad as well. Some programs have errors with 0.0.0.0 but I've never encountered it before. Also if you're running a server locally it saves it hammering that trying to load the adverts. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 189490 | 2003-11-06 22:39:00 | Thanks guys. JM - changing my hosts' entries to 0.0.0.0 didn't have any affect - still getting it. Oxie - as I mentioned before, the alert that I'm getting has nothing to do with pop-up browser windows - my Netscape's built-in pop-up stopper works perfectly. |

| 189491 | 2003-11-06 23:28:00 | That is odd because it worked with Mozilla for me. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 189492 | 2003-11-07 02:07:00 | Netscape/Mozilla/etc caches them itself so you may need to close & reopen mozilla for it to take effect. Maybe even a reboot on windows. |
