I think this must be new. Some words are double-underlined and green. If I inadvertently mouse over them I get an obnoxious pop-up ad. PLEASE DANNY: Let's have the long-promised get-rid-of-ads-for-a-fee feature. I understand the need to have ads to pay for this excellent web site, but pop-ups are really obnoxious. Thanks.
You see them on this site? Where? I have never seen them here but those things are the worst! I move my mouse around and BAM! I cant read the text because of that stupid popup. I hate those ads! I recently install adblocker plus for firefox. Maybe that is stopping them for me?
I have seen them here, and PriusOnline. Thank God for Firefox and their Add blocker. You do have to block some individually, but 95% are gone once the settings are done.
With the volume of traffic on this website the google paid ads already here should be enough. I manage websites with traffic and we make good money on those google ads and do not need to go for the obnoxious pop up green underlined ads.

This is the culprit [http://images.intellitxt.com] It goes here [http://www.vibrantmedia.com] If you have an add blocker, put these on your list This is the main reason I use Firefox, Say bu by to adds
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(JimboK @ Nov 15 2007, 09:20 PM) [snapback]540322[/snapback]</div> well... firefox +adblock plus +cookie safe +flash block +no script i think i'm covered h34r:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Jim O @ Nov 15 2007, 06:22 PM) [snapback]540323[/snapback]</div> I noticed one on the "View all new posts" screen, on a "BMW" text. It turns out that the little buggers are actually flash animations, and FlashBlock, another handy-dandy FireFox plug-in, blocks them nicely. When I hovered over the "BMW" all I saw was the little "F" button.
I agree, hate those and it's part of the reason I don't go to POL more. What's the minimum I need w/ Firefox to stop those things...I don't mind most flash stuff, but if it means blocking flash to block the in-post pop-ups I'll do it. Danny, if you need me to send $20 so I don't have to see that crap I'll do it...but whatever it takes I want it to go away.
I put in Adblock plus, but still had the pop-ups. I found a forum that suggested adding the following to the filters.... *intellitext* *intellitxt* I still see the underscores but no popups after adding those filters.
i listed what i have above in post 8 and i don't see the lines either. i don't know what's making those go away and i'm not about to go uninstalling to find out
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(TheForce @ Nov 15 2007, 09:12 PM) [snapback]540362[/snapback]</div> Oh, no, didn't know about that. I just installed the adblock so I'll go test it right now....
i never subscribed to a list, i just block annoying things on sites i use regularly. i found out that it's noscript that is blocking the green lines. use it to block scripts universally and juts whitelist sites you trust.
i just upgraded to a new version of firefox and to be honest with ya, other than AVG antivirus (free) and popup blocker on firefox (free) i dont have anything else going and i havent a clue as to what you guys are talking about and i moused over everything on this and several other pages wondering what you guys are talking about.
There's not much I take an instant dislike to, but in this case I'll make an exception. Please, make it go away. Anybody know a Safari fix? Getting logged off automatically every time I browse another page isn't much fun, either. What's up with that? :mellow:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(galaxee @ Nov 15 2007, 07:07 PM) [snapback]540319[/snapback]</div> Never seen then. Never used Firefox. IE blocks them just fine as well.
