Wycco, Did anything in particular change with proboards? There seems to be pop-up each time you go to the "home" of Shamu. My screen is becoming over-loaded!!!  Ah well, better re-install that pop-up killer.... |

Aye... they're bloody annoying! I'll see what I can do about moving the forum over to www.FPOTM.com IF GNXONLINE ever fixes my DSN... the link is still blank 5 days after signing up. Anyhow- IF I have the space on www.FPOTM.com I'll see if I can set a forum up on it (not sure yet how much space I need)... That way we'll be banner free!  Bad news is- I may not be able to copy existing threads over to the new forum.. |

MK Freesurfer is doing a wonderful job at killing pop-ups for me...

AND NO, I DON'T NEED A NEW COMPUTER!!!!!!!
Wycco, I wouldn't worry too much about it, it seems to be certain days that it gets worse than others. I could always pay a bit to get the add-free pages, but if I do, does that only work for me, or for everybody who visits Shamu?

Henrik... For everyone!
Seriously though- I'll look at installing a forum on the new web site when its up- It'll be nice to be ad-free!
Not sure how much space it'll take- that'll be a factor!
What proboards says is they only hassle people with popups- on average once out of every 5 clicks. Depending on luck of the draw- you may get more or less!

Wycco,
I don't know about those averages, but since a few days I systematically get a pop-up every time I refresh the home page.
And then proboards say they don't want you using pop-up blockers.....

Still trying to get gnx to setup my domain!!!!  - I downloaded YaBB- (Proboards is based on YaBB with some modifications- so the look and feel will be almost identical) I should be able to set a YaBB forum set up once my domain is set up- Will be able to customise it how I like since I will have direct access to the code. - something I was never able to do with proboards! |

Incidentally- regarding the new web site...
I just chewed the support person out royally about their lack of honouring their claim of "24hr" setup... Supposedly I'm being moved to the top of the list- lets see if this achieves any results!
