| Rob: And you were mistaken, Drezzy. I wasn't trying to fix anything, I was trying to break it. |
| Rob: Excellent, at least they're properly broken, as the entire forum should be. |
| Drezzy: Specifically for Chaos |
| Drezzy: Rob, methinks your attempts to fix it have fucked up a little bit. A lot of the threads aren't working |
| Rob: It most certainly is. How's this for strange, the theme for the board that you're looking at? It doesn't exist, I deleted all the files, yet here it is. |
| Kiwii: It must be evil. |
| Rob: Try as I might, I can't get rid of the Shoutbox. |
| Rob: Hmm... |
| Figgy: Well I'm using Opera and haven't had that problem yet |
| Chamelion: Ok, lets get rid of this shoutbox and find an alternative. Are there mods to add such a perk to these forums or do we have to go 'outside the box'? |
| Rob: Chris, it isn't just pop ups, it actually hijacks the page and redirects to somewhere else. Like when I went to make the Oscar post today, I clicked new thread and as it was loading, the page go directed to some ad. |
| Rob: Oh, and I'm using Firefox right now with AdBlock and it still happens. |
| Rob: just a link to their site with a little bit of code to make the box show up. I'll look into alternatives |
| Rob: Yeah, it is Shoutbox doing it. Everything else is hosted on my server, so I've got 100% control of the site and the forums and I can assure everyone, there is no advertising go on. Shoutbox is the only thing hosted elsewhere, as it is really just a link t |
| bean: I'm using the one that is with IE7 and I use Windows Live One Care that is supposed to stop them. It does for the most part but a few sneak through and I have to reboot my system because it freezes JAWS. |
| Chamelion: If the shout box is to blame, we'll get rid of this one and try to find another one. I never have a problem, but Im using a pop up blocker.. is everyone with the problem using one, or not? |
| Chamelion: so its happening to everyone? James didnt even Rp cause he can't keep on the page long enuff. |
| bean: it does it to your browser as well? that chit gets on my damn nerves and makes JAWS go freaking crazy, but I can deal with it lol |
| Matt: Is shoutbox the reason my browser keeps trying to load random ad pages? |
| Rich: Heh, thanks Rob. |
