Having problems with the Board today and it seems to be caused by the loading of the Amazon stuff.
The Board keeps getting stuck every time I open the Board or open any Thread.
It only sticks for a few seconds (3 to 8 secs appx) and while it is stuck, the status bar of the Browser shows it is loading some kind of Amazon image (possibly the big amazon links thing at the bottom of the board - not sure).
Not having any issues with any other websites and I am on the internet all day non-stop for work. Computer is a fairly new XP Computer, using IE 7.

Yeah, whatever is causing it, it's really really ridiculously annoying.
This Amazon thing is balls.

is this just something that we are going to have to accept as the new reality on jinxworld from now on?

I sent a PM to NEWS! on Sunday asking about the Amazon thing, which I find annoying, intrusive and disruptive for a number of reasons, but so far I haven't received a reply. For a few days it seemed like they had diminished greatly or even disappeared altogether, but it seems like they're back in full force.Originally Posted by greg donovan
What a pain in the ass they are. They don't seem to link to anything related to the underlined topic.
Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!
If you are using Firefox install the Adblock extension. It stops this from happening.
Just to confirm, I installed Adblock, and chose to block all of the Amazon websites listed, and it worked like a charm.
Thanks sackheed.
I will start buying USM again if Bendis will shut the Amazon stuff down.
