So after discussions that you didn't really exist some time ago, you're now telling us that you can't prove you were born

rugbymatt

Sadly no, I am told that a few people born in "difficult" countries have had the same problem.


My closest friend lives in NZ now and she was born in Kenya, had to leave when the Mau Mau were getting a bit heavy, and she has the same problem.

so you really don't exist then

rugbymatt

I am not actually here no.

jdr

I will pm you ;-))

lynnxa

but to the original point of the thread

there's one there right now - on my screen anyway- which blocks the 'drop down' menu ie shrtcuts etc., because it's in front of it:curse:

rugbymatt

you must be smoking the same stuff as Keith, I have nowt!

Ok, I am going to persist with this after suffering a particularly annoying bout of flashing jiggly fluorescent ads.

How do I get these ads blocked??? Some of you are obviously not seeing them (despite not being mods or premium members).

Now I tried that add blocker thing that Matt recommended but my computer went all wierd on me and wouldn't let me log into BE. I got this error message......In order to accept POST request originating from this domain, the admin must add this domain to the whitelist.......so had to deactivate the add blocker to be able to log in.

Now what?????

BTW, I already have the pop up blocker activated via the tools menu. But they arent popups anyway.

rugbymatt

Was it Adblock plus?

keithwalters

Is that the name that you gave me before? Nooo, I don´t think so. You said Add Blocker so that´s what I looked for.

So now I´ll go hunt down Adblock plus.



BTW - I'm having a few moments of peace. The ads seem to go in cycles and at the moment I have the text only google ads which are nice and soothing!

We are trying to find the ad so we can block it, but we haven't yet figured out which ad network its coming from. However I find your attitude really frustrating, obviously trying to block the ads is causing you problems so why don't you just pay the small amount of $10 to become a premium member and then you won't see the ads at all?

rugbymatt

Well you should know by now that I am always wrong!!!

keithwalters

It is recommended to use at least Firefox 2.0, Thunderbird 2.0, SeaMonkey 1.1 or Songbird 0.2

To download Adblocker Plus I need to have one of these installed on my PC.

I´ve never heard of them. What are they and what do they do?

rugbymatt

Firefox, its a browser, and I am told by them that know, one of the better ones.

When I first joined BE I was on yahoo/BT, and it was always sooooo slow, I swapped on someone's recommendation, Bob's I think, and it really is brilliant, loads of free add ons, and fast.

Ok, I´ll go for that one. So this means I will no longer be using Windows Explorer right? Any disadvantages of that?
