Burstnet Microsoft Add Does Not Load Page

Crashed_Again · 06-14-2003, 02:27 AM

It seems that this forum is at it again. Whenever I got to a link on this site, any page that has the current Microsoft add thingy that says stuff like JTECH and HLKB causes the page to not load.

Are you saying this is a conspiracy to get us to become members? This isn't the first time something like this has happened.

A conspiracy by whom? MS? I'd think that if it were a conspiracy of any sort that it would only happen on the "contributing member" ad

If anything it's a "conspiracy" from billy. The page stops loading after that ad appears, well then what have you got but that ad to click on?

Cool

I can assure you that it is no conspiracy. I am actively working on getting this fixed. Thanks for the patience.

I hope nobody thought I was serious about that. Just trying to have a bit of fun thats all.

Man...

I thought I was nuts or something. Thank god someone else posted. Seems to only happen in galeon/mozilla. Either that or I haven't got the banner add in konqueror. Weird

aaaaahh it got me just now!!!

i just held down Shift then hit reload.

lol

Robert0380 · 06-15-2003, 08:00 PM

ok now it's the ONLY ad i see now, on EVERY page, it doesnt even reload, it's just continuous. It doesnt affect all of the pages loading, just sometimes like when i hit the BACK button but it's an annoying ad (the animation). Maybe i should become a contributing member

frieza · 06-15-2003, 08:11 PM

i don't know if it's me or if it's been fixed, but i just put the following entry into my /etc/hosts file
0.0.0.1 www.burstnet.com
and i havn't seen the ad again (after restarting my network)

actually, perhaps not a conspiricy on the part of lq.org, but perhaps onoe on Microsoft's part to weasle newbies away from linux

Robert0380 · 06-15-2003, 09:22 PM

ok that ad is really pissing me off, it's keeping me out of one of the threads i was trying to get into.
