Anyone else having a page on RX7Club load forever? I get the whole page content loaded so I can scroll and whatnot, but it seems to never stop loading, last thing I see is "Transferring data from ads.rx7club.com". Anyone else getting this? It isn't affecting anything on screen, just forever to load the complete page.

 

i hate the little links in posts that pop up those little windows when the cursor hits one.

 

Loading very slowly today, even worse than usual...

 

I hated those too. I manually deleted them for the longest time, but I found this a few weeks ago. It's a mozilla add on called Ghostery, it turns off all the green links found anywhere in the web. Pretty awesome:

Tried it on 2 different computers and they both load slow. Maybe server maintenance.

 

This add-on is much better.

I have that one too

 

Those green links are the sole reason I haven't switched to Google Chrome. Well, those and all the other ads that are impossible to really block with Chrome's extension API.

 

no it don't they're still there and also now there's a box coming up in the right corner with what i'm guessing is a list of blocked ads.

got that one already.


got it stu. found it in the options. no more green links. thanx.

 

Yeah I use the adblock plus and noscript combo. Works well. I forgot the green links are javascript based.

 

have to turn the ghost blocker off so mapquest will work. this sux.

 

+1 on Adblock Plus. I never see any ads or have very slow pages anymore.

 

Wow, I'm surprised that this thread has not been deleted yet.

 

It's always funny to me, because despite Google basically taking over the web with their strategy, other companies still insist on serving up irritating ads that flash and move and get in the way and slow down my browser. If all ads were relevant and unobtrusive like Google's, I'd be much less inclined to block them. Heck, I might even click on a few.

 

You can also block them manually by editing your hosts file.
to get rid of it (windows xp)

(WinXP)

1. Go to: c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc
2. Open the 'hosts' file in notepad
3. Add this line
   0.0.0.0 rx7club.us.intellitxt.com

(Vista)
Changing your hosts file in Vista

By default, if you try to modify your hosts file in Vista, it will not let you save it. It tells you that you don't have permission. To successfully modify the hosts file, run notepad.exe as an administrator and open the file.

1) Browse to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories
2) Right click "Notepad" and select "Run as administrator"
3) Click "Continue" on the UAC prompt
4) Click File -> Open
5) Browse to "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc"
6) Change the file filter drop down box from "Text Documents (*.txt)" to "All Files (*.*)"
7) Select "hosts" and click "Open"
8) Add this line
0.0.0.0 rx7club.us.intellitxt.com and close Notepad. Save when prompted.

 

i tried that but it save as hosts but as a text document, not in the original hosts file. will it still work.

 

Just edit the filename and remove the .txt that got added.
