Roceal Super Geek Posts: 158 From: That place, you know, with the thing Registered: Aug 2001	posted January 16, 2002 13:07 For those who do want to allow cookies and JavaScript in your browsers, but are sick of closing pop-up ad windows, this page may be a boon. It contains a list of links to all the opt-out pages for various Ad Servers. Clicking on each link should disable pop-ups from that particular server. Keen. Here's the link: http://technoerotica.net/mylog/optouts.html I got it from Blogdex: http://blogdex.media.mit.edu/ ------------------ Buttercup: You can't just buy superpowers! Princess: Oh yeah?

STrRedWolf unregistered	posted January 17, 2002 23:38 Here's the more perament solution: Grab a copy of Mozilla and disable those popups from ever happening in the first place. Opt out?!? You never asked for the ads to annoy you! --- STrRedWolf, http://stalag99.keenspace.com IP: Logged
FatGnome Geek Posts: 72 From: Idaho Registered: Jan 2002	posted January 21, 2002 12:38 Hey who is paying for all of those x10 adds? I mean dang someone is paying through the nose. I hope they are getting a return on those adds. They must spend 20-30 US cents on me every day advertising those annoying adds. I know if I wanted a good camera I would probably buy it face to face from a real live geek. Not from some dumb ass Start up that is probably run by a suite anyway. IP: Logged
