I kind of want to see it to see what you are talking about. Is it from the banner ad?

Another reason I love AdBlock.

[kenneth]

what about all the adds and dumb links that are on most websites. also what about the bottom of youtube videos and things of that nature.

ROFL, wth? i have to see this thing... but i usually dont mind ads, unless they are obtrusive, like you say this one is. the ones that really piss me off though are those ones that have underlined text and whenever you put your mouse over it, an ad pops up. i think its called vibrant media? those are the most annoying because they cover up what youre trying to read and you have to try real hard not to mouse over the text...

[psylichon]

I've mentioned it before to Chris, but there's not much that can be done as those ads are rotated and fed from another server out of EIC's control. I'm not a huge fan either, but I just use Adblock and it works well.

I hate those text ones soooo much.

[Hondamaker]

Man, first time I saw it was like, WTF???? Then it took too long to go away. I actually cussed at it, like a dummy.

That's a chicken, not a lizard.:tounge:

yea the first time I had it happen I was like wow where in the Hell did a lizard come from. Damn unibody macbook made it look real. I have downloaded adblock and now its gone!

[Ezekiel2517]

ok, i have yet to see this "lizard" so if anyone can take a screen shot or something id really appreciate it... :)

[psylichon]

First time it showed up for me I was certain I had gotten a virus for about 30 seconds. Even opened up task manager to sniff out suspicious exe's. Then I noticed the lizard-themed ad at the top.

There's another popup that I've seen, but I've since adblocked both of them so no screenshots here.

^ The difference between a mac user and a windows user.
I was on my mac when I saw the lizard and scrolled up to look at the ad at the top. lol
The lizard then returned to his home in the ad.

[dturner]

I am on a mac and have never seen it. There are built in blockers in the mac system. No need for third party software to block.

[kenneth]

Im on a Mac and using Firefox.

[psylichon]

No, just the difference between a nerd and a normal human being. :tounge:

[Londonrockz568]

What ad blocker add on or whatever can a mac user use for safari?
Safari has an option to block pop ups, but this dosent always work. Especially when one goes to sites where some annoying window pops up behind the page your on, and plays sound.

I have never had that problem with Safari, but maybe I just haven't been to the "right" sites. I guess it is possible I have had some pop up behind the page, but if so there was no sound and I just didn't know it.

[acosmichippo]

The first link I posted earlier is for safari.

It's not just for popups, either. Literally any advertisement on any website will be cut out.

[The Apple]

Heads up marketing and advertising departments. You might consider redesigning your ad to be informative instead of obtrusive.

[acosmichippo]

but if it's obtrusive, you have to click on it.

[psylichon]

Sounds like a frat boy mating plan.

[The Apple]

but if it's obtrusive, you have to click on it.
So that is what the advertising is for now? Clicks instead of sales? I would rather sell a product than make people click an annoying banner. Is this pay per click advertising?

[Ezekiel2517]

i thought this was funny... :tounge:

Yes, This add is VERY VERY annoying.

[kenneth]

LOL. You actually caught the lizard.

[psylichon]

What a lame premise for an ad anyway... bit of a stretch there.

haha, thanks finally some one gets a screenshot. and yeah, i can see how this can get annoying, its blocking the freakin text!!

lol, yeah...i kinda spazed over the keyboard to take the screen shot before it went away! Not only does it block text, it follows the mouse.

I hate this type of add, and two other types. The one where a little box will move from the left/right of the screen to the middle. And the other one where certain words produce a stupid add balloon.

Thanks!!! been waiting for someone to finally chime in with a mac adblocker for safari.

[acosmichippo]

It's on page 1 too, btw.

[Londonrockz568]

Do you mean to say that with all your bit*hing at the newbie here (http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum/off-topic/whats-with-my-jailbreaking-request-46692.html#post441300), you went ahead and failed to read the first page of a thread for relevant content?!?!

So did I.

I'm soooo HUR-ting...

[dgray636]

Been a member at EB for 5 months now, never saw it there. Been a member here for less than a week, just saw it for the first time just now.

[kisstine]

Maybe Dave's hair can be our new mascot.

Some of you have gone and killed off our first and only mascot.

[acosmichippo]

Idunno... I was thinking an emu...

[psylichon]

How about a llama?

[kenneth]

Im scared to click the link. lol

[Londonrockz568]

Whats so great about his hair?

[psylichon]

Whats so great about his hair?

Aw, it's not a competition, dude :tounge:

[Londonrockz568]

Im flattered you'd think you can compete with these tresses rofl.

[psylichon]

You're hair is pretty swanky, I'll admit... but I've always wondered if that's a mic in your avatar? Since you've started using it, you've always, in my mind, been like the coolest Time Life Books telephone operator ever. :)

[Londonrockz568]

What the hell are you on about???? My avatar pic was taking by my iphone in my car while driving. (if u look close u can see the speedometer in the reflection of my glasses).

Thanks for the compliment, also how did u get your hair like that in your avatar? Rubbing a ballon for static?

[psylichon]

Didn't feel like showering, so I just rinsed my hair and toweled it. I don't normally wear my hair like this, in case that hasn't been made clear yet.

[Londonrockz568]

lol, that cleared up alot. I was like ppl are raving about your hair and im like he is crazy if he wears it all the time out in public like that.

[kenneth]

Ok this is some gay talk going on in here. Damn beauty queens :)

[Londonrockz568]

BISH you're mad you aren't getting the ladies like we are. :P

[glsda]

BISH you're mad you are getting the ladies like we are. :P
Londonrockz, nice comeback, LMAO:2cool:

[Londonrockz568]

Londonrockz, nice comeback, LMAO:2cool:

Nice try, but i edited it before your post :P lol

[kisstine]

Whats so great about his hair?

umm.. the part where it's connected to Dave? ;)

[Hondamaker]

Kisstine, I love that we can finally see you whole face! I remember your first avatar, we could only see you from your mouth on down. You're a typical EIC hottie!

[kenneth]

she doesnt know it yet but were dating :laugh2:

Ken, we gonna have to fight!

[Hawk]

come on guys, That just screams "stalker". she finally revealed herself, don't make her regret it. ;)

[Hondamaker]

come on guys, That just screams "stalker". she finally revealed herself, don't make her regret it. ;)Good point. I'll behave.

[kenneth]

Darn we have to behave.

[kisstine]

Darn we have to behave.

It'd be a lot less entertaining around here if everyone started behaving. My goal is always to strike an appropriate balance in order to achieve the illusion that I am behaving. ;)

I like the new avatar, Hawk.

[Hondamaker]

I like the new avatar, Hawk.Put it away, kisstine!

[kisstine]

Put it away, kisstine!

You want ME to behave? Really?

[Hondamaker]

You want ME to behave? Really?That doesnt necessarily mean to behave per se. :wink:

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

If Kisstine has something to put away, you guys are in bigger trouble than you thought...

[Hondamaker]

If Kisstine has something to put away, you guys are in bigger trouble than you thought...Maybe I shoulda said 'put them away'?
:tounge:

[Hawk]

LOL Women dont have to behave. There are not many men that would complain about a woman not behaving. However, when a man misbehaves towards a woman... it goes wrong more often than not. Of course there are those exceptions that lead to hook-ups, but that's a different conversation entirely.

I like the new avatar, Hawk.
Thanks. I figure I have been animated long enough.

c'mon why you have to say things like that?

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

To keep you randy dogs grounded in reality...

To keep you randy dogs grounded in reality...

Um.. Reality, in this case, is that I am, in fact, female. Y'know, just for the record.

[Londonrockz568]

I think Napie is a tranny.

You would be quite wrong. :smile:

[Londonrockz568]

I would have said prove it... but then the mods would close this thread. The last thing we need is senior citizens gone wild.

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

The burden of proof is on you, the accuser.

[TarekElsakka]

I don't have that, that sounds funny though.

[Ezekiel2517]

lol, this is a very entertaining thread. wish i had more to contribute, but ive got nothing... :frown:

[kenneth]

I lost all I had when they started talking about trannies. BTW Where is Hayes?

[kisstine]

That they'll never have...:smile:

but still.. we should play nicely together and not go around squashing other people's dreams. :wink:
