PLEASE STOP THE POP UPS!

[machineman9]

everytime i click on forum or search or something a new window comes up and it is extremely annoying so please please please stop it!


and then when i click on the link


had to make one shot smaller to fit inside the limit

It's not the forum that does it, because i have been on SimV from alot of computers, and never saw a pop up...

Maybe it's some spyware?

[machineman9]

well kinda link pop ups. becuase in the link code they must have put target=_blank  which creates a new window when you click on a link. well i think it is that, but certainly something similar to that code.

it is just soo annoying clicking on a link then getting another window popup

Install an automatic "Ad Blocker" to your favourite Browser*.... ...!

Mine works fine...no Ads......!

nononono not ads! i have a popupblocker and although i do gets ads, this isnt about the ads, cos the ads pay for the site. im talking about when you click on a link on the SimV free site (dunno about the payware bit) it creates a new window

[Fozzer]

I by-pass the opening screen of Sim V by "Bookmarking" the "Sim V Main Page" only....
I click on the bookmarked entry and go straight to the Main page and select the various options from there... ...!

Paul....!

Open the Main Page and Bookmark it... ...!

hmm ill try that, but i have now added pictures for maximum clarity

I rarely type addresses in the address bar to gain acces to my favourite sites.
I always open the page of the site I am interested in and then "Bookmark" it.
So for a particular site, I can go direct to the site's "Forum Page" without having to trawl through the whole site to find it....  ;)...!

The beauty of "Bookmarking"... ...!

In Start/Settings/Folder options...select "Open each folder in the same window".......!


Paul...!

P.S. This will stop you from having overlaping, multiple windows open at the same time...!

[Sir_Crashalot]

Or you could use a browser that has 'tabbed' browsing like Netscape or Maxthon (the one I use). No overlapping windows, multiple windows remain open (tabbed) for easy access.

I'd agree. Tabbed browsing rules!! I don't know how I lived without tabs.They make browsing so much easier.
Another browser you can try that is tabbed is Kmeleon-

You know, I have a pop-up blocker (Norton and Google) and I still ocassionally get a pop-up.  Not something to get in a fuss about, but it still makes me kinda wonder what the hell is going on, especially when the dern things start TALKING TO ME!!!
