I get this crap almost every day that I browse this forum. After looking at a few threads, I hit the back button and nothing happens. Then I look at the recent history list and it is full from top to botom with this address repeated over and over:

http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad

I don't know where this comes from, but it really PISSES ME OFF!!!!!:banghead:

I never get this BS on any other web site.

I have to close IE and re-open it to get back to the forum.

same issue here in both IE and FireFox. Also, the number of Adds seems to be a bit excessive and can cause some threads to take a while to load.
You're welcome! Someone mentioned mouse clicks and I remembered those annoying IntelliTXT Ads from when I first started here. It may not be related, but at least you can turn those off. :29:
Wow, now that made a major differance in speed. Thanks. I can live with the adds (and compleatly agree that they need to support the site with them), but sometimes they just get overwelming. There is a point of paying for the site and making it very sluggish and almost unusable.
I work for a security concerned company and talking to our security people, there are still a lot of concerns with Crome and recommended to me to not use it for even my personal use. I didn't get the details on it. But they have explicitly denied it's use for the enterprise (10k+ employees). But My preferance is IE and Firefox regardless of platform. I agree on the development side that IE is a a lot harder, but haven't dabled in it for a long time and I read that IE10 is going to be better about it.
IE 6 & 7 are no go's, 8 is our default browser, and 9 is a no go as well. Firefox is our backup browser and we are using 10.0.6 now.
