Anyone know how to rid ones self of that pesky zonealarm ad that plagues me as I look around the FKK board? I can't get rid of it, if I click it it re-directs me elsewhere, and even afterwords it still shows up!

For the ad itself, I will never buy ZA for this constant annoyance.

step1: install firefox
if you already have firefox, proceed to step2

step2: get the firefox addons: "adblock pro" and "noscript"

step3: be happy, because you will never see again any stupid ads or java scripts you dont want to

Well, thats all nice and good but I do think the forum administrators here need to take action to prevent it from happening to the rest of us who enjoy IE. Yes, that would be appropriate and logical. Forcing someone to get another browser simply because their website has spam and popups isnt wise.

unfortunately that is how the internet works today

on the other hand, this forum needs ads to get at least a little bit of money

Believe me, we know. However, these ads make me want to burn a crap-ton of copies of Zonealarm to a disk and pass them out free of charge on the street corner just to prevent ZA from getting another dime for that agressive of advertizing. Forcing me to open another window to clear the ad and nearly locking my computer up isn't cool.

I don't think it has anything to do with the content of the advertisment (therefore it's not ZA's fault) - it could be any other ad - the point is that the admins need some ads to run this site.
But I understand that this is quite annoying for you; I'd also like to skip clicking all the time. Maybe you use some of the tools described above to filter out those ads (admins wouldn't like to hear this), but on your good days you don't filter them again, click around for about an hour (and read within the forum, of course) to make some money for this site and then again filter the ads away... Good compromise?
