nope it aint showing topless women - its asking me if i want to do an ovulation chart! The way it looks like that its on the website itself and you cant do anything about that except not use it.
 
No I don't get anything, but I have a Pop-Up Blocker, so I wouldn't. Although I do get told when its blocked one, and that message hasn't come up so, i'm presuming none have come up.
 
Sorry Panther but i have stopped your link working as there are children on this site and as you dont want your children seeing it we dont want the children on the site seeing it too .
 
There is a way to stop it. it depends on what browser you use as to the method though.

Firefox has an ad blocker, right click over teh image and select block images from .... option

Not sure about IE as I don't use it however there is another option involving the hosts file that works no matter what browser you use.

If you rightclick the image and select copy link location.

Paste it into notepad and note what the domain is (i.e. http://WWW.ACCRINGTONWEB.COM/forum its teh bit in capitals)

go into c:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc and open the file called "hosts" in notepad. it will look like this

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost



On the line that says localhost, add a space at the end and then type the domain that you got from the image, save the file and exit
 
SORTED!!:D put windows defender on and that phishing thingy on and there nothing like it now, i do have a popup blocker with google but that dont work half the time! does anyone recommend a good blocker??

Hi, Panther, you could try changing browsers. I use Mozilla Firefox, and have no problems with pop-ups. You can download it from http://mozilla.com/en-US/ its a freebie.
I have been using it for about 4 months, and its great, beats hell out of Internet Explorer. Click on Download Firefox Free, follow the instructions. I would not go back to IE now. Hope this helps, regards, Nigel.

You might want to give it a try anyway, firefox is faster, more secure and has various great add-ons if you wish to customise it.
 
Don't forget there are other options as well. you need to try a few and see which ones suits how your brain is wired. Opera is my main browser and I use a lightweight one called Dillo from time to time

Ditto. I wouldn't use IE ever again on any of my computers. Firefox all the way.
