594009 2007-09-22 09:27:00 What is your Internet Browser? Depending on which one you have, you can install adblocking extensions and ban it for good. Or just modify the HOSTS file bob_doe_nz (92)
594010 2007-09-22 09:33:00 It only rolls down if you put your mouse up there? LiquidSolidity (1589)
594011 2007-09-22 09:40:00 It only rolls down if you put your mouse up there?Thats true, but its like a booby trap. In my mind it is destructive to the advertiser and pressf1 Gerrypics (6932)

And your right, it is like a booby trap! hehe
You go up to scroll the page down and ops... it gets you yet again!

594015 2007-09-22 10:00:00 Pressf1 need to take a good look at themselves. The amount of viewers this type of advertising turns away must be astronomical. If you want to turn viewers away, poke crap in there face, it works every time. Gerrypics (6932)
594016 2007-09-22 10:08:00 Haha thanks Greg - I was just comming back to this thread to say Id found it and added in my host file and checked - works perfectly cheers... you beat me to it here again! :) bevy121 (117)
