Funny banners

[Jynx]

WE have all seen them on our free web based email, ad banners. But are they getting lazier? Please post some examples of patchetic/funny ones here.

[SlyDave]

I have to say I kinda love that ad. People that click no on that deserve what they get :)

[tuBBymAN]

never seen that one before have to be honest, you sure it doesn't just come up on your pc jim? :P

[Wedgeh]

If it ONLY came up on his PC it'd only have one option.. ;)

hehe love that "some sort of error"

[SlyDave]

You should see some of the errors in our software at work :| the errors that should never been seen becuase the error handler should kick in or it should quit correctly...

The assuming thing is they only happen when a particular thing goes wrong, so we have a mini guide to what they actually mean.. :)

I saw an extremely ironic popup ad on a friend's laptop the other day. He was browsing the web and suddenly this HUGE window pops up literally filling most of the screen and all it has in massive green writing on a yellow background is, "CLICK HERE TO GET A POP-UP AD FILTER!!!!!"

Cracked me up for a while.

[tuBBymAN]

i had a pop-up filter for a while but got rid of it coz all it did was annoy me, coz it didn't bloody work

[Xplos!ve]

lol i like this 1, for sum of the pc dummies that mite think the solution of banging ur head on the keyboard will work :D hmmmm :/

[SlyDave]

Install Google Tool Bar or on XP Install Service Pack 2. Both are the best Pop up killers around. and they work :)

or use mozilla firefox with its nice built in popup blocker and its free too!

[BirdofPrey]

Yeah, or ZAP does it quite well, but i use mozilla, but some still get through, but zap deals with them

[Jynx]

Opera has popup blocker and good tabed browsing, slightly faster than Firefox imo if there are a lot of images but on text Firefox is unbelievably quick.

[putty_thing]

still haven't found a comedy banner for this thread, so i'll just post a comic pic instead.

(oh, i'm on firefox too, even though i paid for opera :rolleyes: )

[tuBBymAN]

well i think i might get the old google browser bar to stop those bad boys still some good suggestions there

[BirdofPrey]

Use firefox, tabbed browsing rules, and its 1337!

Also Dave have u got ur mitts on sp2 for xp? as i didnt think it was out till august!

[RiPPeR]

Ahh yes but (legal) opera costs money and firefox has everything opera has (including mouse gestures with a plugin)

+ its opensource and all that

actually i have changed my default internet browser to firefox and my default mail program to thunderbird. Must be going through some kinda opensource phase atm who knows maybe.....its just better!

[Windibob]

anybody heard of avant browser? its basically ie explorer but with added popup blocker.

[Drazhar]

Yeah. I had it for a while, but lost it when formatting the computer.

[tuBBymAN]

hmmm after all these browser recommendations i thought i would download and give firefox a go. not sure i'm lovin it to be honest i think i love my IE creature comforts too much but i will persist with it

[RiPPeR]

ctrl + t = new tab

tabbed browsing !!

also get a mouse gesture extnesion and make the buttons big and its just like ie (but better ofc!)

[tuBBymAN]

well i will try it i'm not just gonna dismiss it

[putty_thing]

this thread is getting off topic - allow me to help:

[tuBBymAN]

thank you lord "putty_thing" kitchner

[BirdofPrey]

it would be funny if that had a putty stylee goatee!

[tuBBymAN]

must say am loving the tabbed browsing very cool but its a bit slow with piccys

[Tau]

Opera is by far the best browser... the end.

[Jynx]

RiPPeR there is a free version of Opera it just has some ads on it(for Opera).

[RiPPeR]

pfft adware

i find firefox is the same as opera although u do get some sites (even corp sites) which only work properly in ie (u gotta wonder about their web team and not keeping to html standards!)

C.

[tuBBymAN]

i'm still undecided but its pretty cool

[SlyDave]

Would be easy to keep to HTML standards if a standard standard exsisted..

It really isn't easy you know. tBG.org _should_ work in everything but I can't garntee that.

Edit: I know it works in Eve's ingame browser :)

[BirdofPrey]

lol, it dosnt work in netscape 5 in the uni, but thats cause its cack :)

[putty_thing]

lol, it dosnt work in netscape 5 in the uni, but thats cause its cack :)

nothing works on nutscrape 5

[SlyDave]

NS 5 isn't a support browser, NS 6+, IE 4+, Moz (inc FF) something are supported.

In fact NS isn't support at all anymore, as it no longer exsists, also Linx isn't support but then thats a plain text browser :) (mind you it _might_ work)

[tuBBymAN]

well i'm a convert to FF now its great

[BirdofPrey]

He he told u ud love it :)

[tuBBymAN]

_might_

whats with all these _ underscores kicking about the place? is something gone wrong on the forum?

[Jynx]

lol

[putty_thing]

tbg.org works (sorta) with links on linux.

[tuBBymAN]

still doesn't explain whats with the underscore
