Is it just me or is that bloody Orange advert thats appeared on several pages, Xboxic included, making the browser instantly jump back upto the advert every so often. ????

If it is this must be stopped now it is so unbelievably annoying.

Anyone else notice this problem or is my Firefox browser screwed up??

Many people have complained about it, including TRIGGER M4N. I haven't noticed it yet though.

Glad it's not a problem with my browser then.

This has to go down as the most annoying web advert i have ever come across.

Yeah, it even does it when your not on that window. It automatically changes it to the window with the Orange advert and levels you up nicely along-side it. Curry, use your powerz now!

I don't get it. Then again, my computer is relatively ad-free \o/

Ooops, I wouldn't of said that. Curry was pissed last time someone mentioned ad blockers on Xboxic.

It's my set-up. I don't have any of them; they just don't show up.

Oh and you mentioned them, so you're on your own.

Orange ad is blocked as of now.

What's there to cheer about stealing from people? Do you have any idea that even typing this cheering post is costing me money that you are not compensating for by simply accepting the simple ads that, as you can see, I aim to keep as much out of the way of users as possible?

Perhaps I should just enable all porn, viagra, popunder, epileptic, sound and direct-play-video advertising again so I can finally make this place profitable.

direct-play-video advertising
I HATE those! There's nothing worse than an ad stealing away your precious bandwidth ;(.

Thankfully, Xboxic is completely devoid of them O+.

The adverts on here are pretty much un-noticable except for big one at the top which is pretty standard for most sites...

The only irritating thing on here...which I've been meaning to say for ages is when you read playstatic or nintendic and on those sites you click a forum link on the front page (where the list of recent activity is on the left) it takes you back into the xboxic forum [heres the irritation coming up] To get back into playstatic you have to click the xboxic news link at the top to get back on the xboxic home page, then ICGAMERS, then playstatic...or retype www.playstatic.com in the address bar...or keep pressing the back button until you find it again.

But im guessing it is only 'me' that it annoys, where as there's no simple way back once you hit the xboxic forums pages.

How about some shortcuts in your link bar? :P

Maybe a potential 300,000 visitors a month to playstatic and nintendic click a forum link and don't bother to go back ever !!

(just made a favourite link) :D

That gripe is entirely justified and extremely under attention right now ;)

i'll take the first two.:D
on second thought, if you did just the first two things you'd drive up site traffic and may inadvertantly turn a profit too.:P
