| 45777 | 2002-04-26 09:40:00 | Howdy, I spend a bit of time in Yahoo chat but one thing really pisses me off. It is a flashing message alert. If you click any button even minimize it goes to colonize.com which is some stuff for fat people. I cant even grab it by the title bar and shift it. I suppose it is a virus but I update my NAV and I have a pop up stopper. I have searched for info on google but it just says it is a banner advertisment what ever that means. Does anyone know how to stop this anoying furking thing? Cheers Ted Heath |

Most big sites have them (even pressf1 has them - look at the top of this page... see the ad at the top? that's a banner ad) You're either going to need an ad-blocker, or do what most people do - ignore them. Mike. |

| 45780 | 2002-04-26 22:34:00 | I would say it is the NEW YAHOO service. I have used yahoo for years, now they want to charge for pop access(US$) and adverts come up a lot more often, so I'm off to someone else. PS. does anyone know who provides free pop access? I know hotmail. |
