Not a -CHANCE-, pal
12-25-2007, 06:05 AM
A minute or so ago in another window, I had to log into the boards...
...and it refused to let me in without signing up for spam.
Needless to say I did and will continue to absolutely refuse to do so.
So, if I suddenly vanish completely for no apparent reason, that's where the blame goes.

Okay, I'm finding this disturbing.
Let me look into it.

I actually had 2 different ads show up before it would "finish logging me in"...
I just clicked on the "no, thanks" button on the bottom right. Especially since there wasn't an "WTF, am I back on AOL???" button...

Have you tried just hitting the back button?
It always works for me. '.'

I must concur with Morganni, hitting the back button works.
My hosts file prevents 95% if the adds from loading in the first place, so I get redirected to a 'server doesn't exist', hit the back button too the forums and I'm logged in.
I don't think there is any sort of check made, they just want the opportunity to toss adds at you.-Terry
