Hi there,

I'm having a hard time using the forum because there have been a ton of flashing ads. Anything like that tends to give me migraines sp? so it's very difficult for me to do much reading, especially.

Anything you can do would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I'm an Advocate

I was wondering if I was the only one thinking this same thing. There are days where I have to close the browser here because the ads just go nuts. There are a few that drive me crazy! Tongue
Just because it's impossible doesn't mean it can't happen.

I'm not a doc, so anything I say is my opinion only. Nothing I say is meant as offense, I offer what I can as help. I believe in educating myself on all my medical issues and being my own advocate, for no one else with do that on my behalf. I recommend we all do the same!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Perhaps I truly am insane for expecting these docs to listen to me when I say the same things repeatedly to no avail? LOL. I am tired of seeking out new docs and getting the same result time and again...Forgive me if I seem bitter some days.

Something has changed within me/Something is not the same/I'm through with playing by/The rules of someone else's game/Too late for second-guessing/Too late to go back to sleep/It's time to trust my instincts/Close my eyes and leap...I'm through accepting limits/Cuz someone says they're so/Some things I can not change/But till I try I'll never know/Too long I've been afraid of/Losing love I guess I lost/Well if that's love/It comes at much too high a cost/I'd sooner buy Defying Gravity/Kiss me good-bye I'm Defying Gravity/I think I'll try Defying Gravity/And you won't bring me down...

I don't think there's anything that can be done about the ads, but you can PM Jaime1978 or Connie D to ask them if there's anything that can be done. They bother me, but not so much that I can't read, plus once you scroll down they go away usually.

The gray ribbon is to honor my husband's fight with a brain tumor and his ongoing courage to keep his hope and faith so brilliant!

In my browser (mozilla firefox) under VIEW then PAGE STYLE you have the option of NO STYLE or BASIC PAGE STYLE.

I have mine set on PAGE STYLE (probably default).

Clicking NO STYLE will give a page with a different 'plain vanilla' style page---- no flashing ads.

It would take a bit of getting used to, since the format is different---- but the 'main stuff' is there, like posts etc.

All browsers have something similar, so if you don't have Mozilla you'd sorta have to figure out where you can do this. (Looking under VIEW or maybe EDIT- PREFERENCES OR OPTIONS would probably be the best place to start.)

You can turn that function off or on, depending on what site you're on. It doesn't 'hurt' the computer. <g>

Don't buy one of the applets etc to do that. And don't mess with the Registry!!!!

Hope this helps
