Stupid blue box

[Paul B]

http://gypo climber.com/ images/ smilies/ aaf_smile.gif is the URL information of the gypoclimber blue box deal in some folks signature.

Looks like there are still certain forum images linked back to Gypoclimber. And as far as the signatures, you people need to fix your signatures yourselves.

I added gypoclimber.com to my adblocker and everything looks fine for me now. Maybe one day we will have ALL aspects of this forum hosted on the correct domain.

I now have the dreaded blue box this evening..... bleagh

Penicillin?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nah..........

Brian,... when you added gypo to adblocker... did you put it in as you typed or the whole http://www.gypocliber.com thing.... ?

I'm with Brian!

If you have Adblock Plus, just right click on the image and choose 'Adblock Plus this image'. The box comes up with your options for creating the blocking rule, choose the shortest one so you block everything coming from gypoclimber.

I had not had the blue box thing earlier, didn't have it when I logged in this morning, but in the last few minutes it's shown up .

 

[Burnham]

Worse in some skins than others, fwiw.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I like the blue box; it adds color.

 

[Burnham]

Not the border around the Quick Reply, Butch. That's not a problem, per se. The big blue Gypoclimber.com box that is in many sigs (some more than once) and is covering some parts of the pages is the issue for me.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Ah, I have sigs disabled.

 

[Burnham]

Another little quirk has reared it's head, not for the first time, but I don't think it's been doing this for a while...at apparently random points, at the end of a line in a post, the last word is repeated at the beginning of the next line.

Something is definitely off.

 

[Tree Reb]

I always miss out. I don't get any blue boxes, just the quick reply skin thing.

 

[woodworkingboy]

That hurts the eyes.

Every now and then I get the database doesn't respond white page thing. Is that a bug?

 

[MasterBlaster]

No, that's just a internet burp.

 

[Burnham]

My forum display is getting weirder. On some threads, the top of the page that shows which posts are currently displayed, says something like "Results 61 to 65 of 65" is all jumbled up. And the part that says something like "Page 13 of 13, <<First, <, 3,11,12,13" is stretched off the page to the right.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'm waiting to hear back from our tech guy Peter.

 

[Burnham]

That's odd, part of my post above went away when I posted it.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Thanks Brian... that fixed it...

You still on IE on that FS computer Burnam?

 

[Burnham]

Yep...Windows XP. Running Windows 7 at home, but I haven't been on it to check the TH site since this blue box business started.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Like Brian pointed out, I was able to block the image using Ad Blocker Plus on Fire Fox. Right click.. block image.
Now my reply box looks normal.

 

[Burnham]

Wonder if there's some similar method on IE?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Would have to be an ad blocker of some sort... I don't know what will work on the newer windows versions. Most are pay for now I believe.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Maybe you can do it with your pop up blocker in IE

[Burnham]

Yeah, wondered about that...I'll have to look around. Thanks, Stephen.
