Add your link to our new links area
'); document.write(''); document.write(' '); document.write('

That must be an error with Google Ads. Is it still there?

Works okay for me, do you have javascript disabled?

jakyra · February 16th, 2004, 01:18 PM

No, but I do use mozilla. I've found that there are code errors that IE will fix that Mozilla doesn't.

It's not that I don't get the banner. It's that I get junk with it.

My guess is that there is an extra quote somewhere.

I've had a look in Mozilla and it looks fine?

Could you post a screenshot of what you're seeing please? Along with some more detailed browser specs and if you can recreate this in different browsers? That would really help! Thanks!

Yes, I get that error in Mozilla too. Hrmm. Well that just goes to show ya.. Internet Explorer is better!:razz:

jakyra · February 17th, 2004, 03:09 PM

Nah, it just goes to show me that IE compensates for it's own ugly code.

courtjester · February 18th, 2004, 12:14 AM

haha, well believe what you wish.. but I still say Internet explorer is the way to go.. Here's my virus count...

Internet Explorer - 0
Mozilla - 7
Opera - 19

Thats the only ones I use.. and thats the viruses I have recieved in the lifetime on my pc from the browsers I use.

Webforumz Staff · February 18th, 2004, 06:46 AM

You are honestly telling me that you've never recieved a virus over Internet Explorer?

Internet Explorer is well-known for having bugs which are not only found faster, but exploited more because so many people use it.

Rob · February 18th, 2004, 06:47 AM

This **should** now be fixed!

jakyra · February 18th, 2004, 09:12 AM

YAY Rob!

Thanks!

I've been using Mozilla for 2 years and I've never had a virus. And I haven't had to run patches once a week to do it either. (Like I do with IE.)

Yeah, thats my honest virus report man... I have a messed up version of Internet Explorer, its fully customized and fully Virus protected. My cousin helped me with it, and when I say help I mean he did all that stuff... Mozilla and Opera wont let you do that kind of customizing to their browser, so you are stuck with their sucky default virus protection, or you have to sacrifice the use of things instead of being able to scan before you use....
