Can you use the Firefox browser, or do you have to stay with IE. Firefox has a plugin available that will block most of those ads. I don't every get any ads here on the forum.

I don't get ads in here either

I think you can find it at www.getfirefox.com Darlene

I stopped using FireFox because I don't like it as much as Explorer, but I just added the ad block extension and HOW COOL!

Not only does it block it, but it removes all traces of it (I thought there'd be a big blank space up top).

The forum folks wanted to charge me $22 a month to be ad free! 

Now if FireFox would just allow cut n' pasting maybe I'd use it for the froum all the time.

No, whenever I try to it says cut n' paste isn't allowed as a security measure.

Then when I click on info it says if I want to change that I can do so by adding four lines of text to the code of the browser, but they have to be specific for the web site I wish to cut n paste from.

Really?

I've never seen that message before.

I also use the "Extended Copy" addon that gives a right click option of copying as HTML or plain text.

I've never gotten a security warning from Firefox for copying text. Are you sure the warning is coming from Firefox and not something else?

I'm using version 1.5.0.12

I see they're up to version 2.0

I guess I should upgrade, maybe that'll fix the issue

Problem solved with the new FireFox

GOODBYE EXPLORER ( which kept freezing and shutting down on me anyway! )

My most used addons (extensions) are:

Downloads in Tab (instead of separate window)
Extended Copy Menu (will strip or keep the HTML when copying)
Fission (site load progress in the address bar)
Forecastfox (constant weather in the bottom right corner)
IE Tab (for those sites that require IE)
XPL LinkScanner

The XPL is added when you install "Link Scanner". It is available from explabs.com. I have the real time scanning turned off because it really slows things down, but it is nice when you see a link that you are not sure if you can trust. You can right click on the link and select "Quick Scan with LinkScanner" and it will go look for any bad code that will attempt to install viruses/trojans on your system and tell you if that site is safe to visit.
