Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | "mpire" Causing Major Slowness For Me....??? Clicking around YT has been SOOOOOOOOOOO frustrating lately, that I find I'm spending less time here, which is such a bummer. I couldn't figure out what was happening - I think I finally noticed that this "mpire" thing at the top has to re-load EVERY time I click to ANY other page, it is so time consuming. It causes terrible "drag" for the member. I understand a need for advertising, I truly do - but this goes beyond most site's advertising (in my experience) when it starts to interfere w/ the ability to navigate the site. Part of the reason I donate here is to hopefully help in keeping the advertising at an "acceptable" level - and I personally don't find this one acceptable bc it interferes with the very nature of clicking around the board. Is it just my computer or something? I'm sorry for complaining, but I love it here - but I am not loving it here lately with the mpire stuff....at all. Sorry if it's just me....

| There are posts about this in the suggestions section and off topic already. It is NOT just you and yes it is extremely annoying. If you go to off topic admin says how to make it go faster. You have to disable "flash".

| I totally agree with you. I remember deleting ads awhile ago using Flash but I can't remember what I did! I am about to just close this site because it is too frustrating to continue this way. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I just installed AdBlock and the ads are now gone! Phew! I got here, directly from Mozilla Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865

| Oh good! I'm not the only one. I LOVE this site. My family and I don't have a great deal of money so I am grateful I could come up with the amount of money to donate. I thought it was only right for me to do so. I am on here a lot. I know there has always been ads and they have never bothered me, but this is a little excessive. It's not fair to the ones that have done their part by donating. Since the ads I am on here less and less each day. It's just annoying. It was messing my computer up so bad that hubby had to show me what to download to even be able to get into YT. I'm not a complainer, usually I just go with the flow, but this has just gotten to be to much. Please admin do something about the ad. You have always made this site such a pleasant and relaxing way for me to spend my evening after my son goes to bed.

| Ok I downloaded the adblock but when I right click on the ad the only options I get are POWERED BY MPIRE and ABOUT ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 9... Any ideas on how I can be rid of the ad? I went back and tried to load the adblock again but it said I already have it. This sucks......

| Windsor's Mom, the same thing happened to me. Do you see a stop sign next to your address bar? Click on it. A list of things will come up at the bottom of your screen. Right click and block anything that says Widgetbucks.

| Dan explained on a thread last night and as much as I know it takes alot of money to run this site, alot more than we contribute, this is driving me nuts so off to find it. Must be in off topic, if and when I find it, I will post the link here. I love the ebay auction ads at the bottom of every page and I have ordered but mpire is the one causing the problem I'm sure because it has to reload with each page.
