forum moved.. Use FireFox, it has an built in popup remover. The ads will soon be goon, fred promised.

Also get the AdBlock plugin.. :D

It is every 30 seconds. Come on Fred. Sorry there has to be a better solution. This is the worst forum host I have ever seen. Sorry it is just frustrating even with the popup blocker. it keeps flashing. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! :oops: :evil: :x

Firefox here too. No popups seen and no speed problems.

I also use Firefox and have NEVER seen a popup with these (or the old) forums.
Anyone who still uses Internet Explorer to browse needs their head examined. :twisted:

I just tried back with IE and it's definitely slow, my apologizes. I will wait a little (1 week) and if it doesn't change, I will look for another solution :(. For now you can still use FireFox + AdBlock it's lightning fast here.

Hmm, I see the ad-spam on the bottom of the forums, but no popups... why are there 3rd party forum hosting and why not do it natively? Much better and faster that way.
