| 126217 | 2003-03-07 05:50:00 | Is there any way of turning off the PressF1 advertising (the banner, and the opne down the side. I know the ads off by heart, and am getting sick of waiting for PressF1 to open - when I am downloading that is. Will a PopUp Stopper fix the problem, and if so, which one? BALDY:-) |

| 126218 | 2003-03-07 05:55:00 | What advertising? :D We've been here before. At length. To save Bruce or someone else explaining the facts of life to you, I will. It costs money to run this forum. Advertising covers some of that cost. No advertising, no forum. |

| 126219 | 2003-03-07 06:05:00 | Yeah I know all that Graham, I'm not particularly dim LOL. I know that the ads pay for the forum, but sometimes on my antiquated dialup, it takes forever to load the page. Besides, I know the ads off by heart. It would be good to disable them every now and again when I am downloading. Don't think that would make the multi-national publishers IDG go bankrupt LOL |

| 126220 | 2003-03-07 06:18:00 | You could try Phoenix. Look around some of the recent threads or ask Chilling_Silence. He put me onto it and it's an excellent program. Based on Mozilla it can block popups, ads, etc! It's great :D The only problem is that some of those ads to the left of the window are done in Flash supposedly so Phoenix won't block them as it doesn't realize it's advertising. Also, on the very rare occasion it crashes (very rare!) it doesn't take down Explorer with it! an added bonus! However I'd personally reccomend it! |

| 126221 | 2003-03-07 06:34:00 | You could always just turn off images all together :D There are ways to remove the adverts. But really one should display the adverts. Here isn't really the best place to discuss how to remove them. I'm sure it's been mentioned in the forums before though. |

| 126222 | 2003-03-07 06:43:00 | Baldy, You just increase your temp internet files/cache size so that the browser remembers the adds you've seen before. It seems like you are wasting alot of bandwidth reloading the same old same old, and not just the ads either. Mine just pops up infront of me usually, and i'm allways downloading so much on the other computer that i don't have a surfing advantage dispite my faster connection. .Clueless |

| 126224 | 2003-03-07 07:56:00 | Ads? What Ads? For some reason, the ads which supposably exist don't show up on my computer. | somebody (208) | ||
| 126225 | 2003-03-07 19:41:00 | I don't see any ads either (which might be something to do with the host file), but the top red bar does take far too long to load! I wonder if it could be made to be more customer friendly (ie, load quicker!) some sites load in a flash... | Trev0 (1995) | ||
| 126226 | 2003-03-07 20:22:00 | Some sites have no content. This makes them load fast. Some sites have the same pics as last time. This too makes them load fast. PF1 is largely dynamicly produced, so all content is fresh. Do you really want to see that changed? .Clueless |
