Having to press "BACK" 4 times??
|
RustyZip 10-09-2002, 05:44 PM Hi... I've found when browsing the forums, i have to press "BACK" four times to get back to the previous screen... I'm not complaining as such, but is this suppossed to happen? I'm using IE6. Cheers... Julio 10-09-2002, 06:51 PM I've never experienced that... have you tried using any other browser and see what happens? Anyone else having the same problem? Ad 10-09-2002, 06:51 PM LNCPapa 10-10-2002, 12:10 AM I have that problem because of an edited hosts file - have you added/modified your host file to include loopbacks for the banners on this site? If so then you will have to hit back the number of times as there are banners+1 to go back. With the new modification of code Julio did you may find it easier to just remove this from your hosts file and get the 2 pop-unders max per day.. LNCPapa RustyZip 10-10-2002, 06:57 PM No... I havn't used any othere browser, i'm afraid i have only IE6 installed. LNCPapa: I own my own house, so i have no hosts.:cool: :p Only j/k.. Sorry, i havn't got a clue what your on about, what is a hosts file?? To my knowledge i havn't changed any "host file"... Cheers... RustyZip 10-12-2002, 02:29 PM If i press the little arrow by the "BACK" button, the first 3 are:- ad-flow.com ad-flow.com burstnet.com which i presume what you are on about LNC Papa, but how to fix it??? Is it something i've done?? LNCPapa 10-12-2002, 04:56 PM Check this directory C:\%WINDOWS%\system32\drivers\etc and you should see a hosts file with no extension. Open it with notepad and see what localhost loopbacks you have listed. You should have 127.0.0.1 -> localhost Anything else looped back to 127.0.0.1 it going to come back to your machine instead. You can easily test this by creating a new line that says: 127.0.0.1 %My_website% Where you place your selected website's address in the %My_website% section. Now when you visit that address you shouldn't get anything. Just remove any other loopbacks you have to other addresses (probably those ad-links) and things should start working again. I warn you, if you were doing this to affect another site then you will be correcting it for that site as well. LNCPapa RustyZip 10-14-2002, 05:42 PM I've just found what the problem was. I'd installed Kazaa-lite, and it installed some program that gets rid of ads and banners and stuff... I think i'll stick with the inconvenience of having to pressing back 4 times, if it means less ads, pop-ups etc... Thanks LNCPapa, you pushed me in the right direction... Cheers... Phantasm66 10-14-2002, 06:05 PM the latest kazaa lite shoves a bunch of stuff into the hosts file, yes, which prevents ad popups.... Julio 10-15-2002, 01:54 AM We do not endorse the use of such utilities though, at least not in our site, but then again you can do as you like. |
