At this very moment in time I have 13 bet Fair pop ups on the computor despite work blockers etc. Come on GM, please put a stop to this.

Every time I view a post or thread another one comes up. Please get rid. :mad:

m-w-j......you've spotted something driving me crazy.

I have quite high security settings on my i.e. on vista.....sometimes it goes completely mad......

The other day, I clicked on a different forum, went to make a brew and came back and found 56 tabs of i.e. running.....

I could NOT stop it.....so had to unplug my power cord and laptop battery......windows was not happy!!

I know GM need to do the ads....sure....but with pop-up blockers on, the site doesn't run very well...

I might try using google chrome.

http://www.google.com/chrome

Some folks say it's not so good and in the US it went down very well, only for people to revert to i.e. or firefox.

The news from here is.....


drum roll

On a modern HP laptop (vista business/2gb ram) on an 8mb i.s.p. connection google chrome is REALLY FAST, not just a tad.....it's like lightening.....

I've never seen page download like this ANYWHERE.....

But I don't like the interface.....damn!!!

Surely 1 pop up when you first click on the site would suffice?

20 of the F*****S in as many minutes isn't going to suddenly make you want a flutter is it?!!

I have pop up blocker on, and it is fine. Just a line at the top saying blocked. Site runs fine with it on.

I changed my pop up settings to block all pop ups. Stops them coming but everytime it tries to send another the screen flashes and it stops me typing or viewing.

Come on GM get a grip

Could these pop ups be some kind of sinister reprisal?

Has Superquad115 channeled the massive profits from golforderonline.com to pay for a carefully orchestrated pop up attack on our forum in revenge for being subjected to a surreal stream of consciousness by the forumers?

Conspiracy theory anyone?

guys
sorry about the pop-ups - we all run firefox here so weren't aware of them till we saw this thread. I'll try to find out what the score is on them

Currently have 20 Bet Fair pop ups sat on my PC. Getting fed up of closing them all down again now.

Oh, and there's another one, grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Laptop heading for the window very soon :-(
