for me at the moment.

Decided to give it a try because I was using up my attachment allowance rather quickly.

Quite embarrassing to admit I didn`t realise there was a limit. ;)

Anyway, I`m gonna have to use up a bit more to ask if anyone knows why I keep getting these: [attachment=1277:ads__Small_.jpg] , every time I try to upload a picture.

I cannot get them off the page. Wherever I click with left or right button I get taken to their site. It is really annoying. I have to close the page down each time.

Could this be something on my computer ?

Help would be appreciated. Thanks. Not having a good day.

Regards.

I know you are still having problems acccessing this forum so perhaps with this other problem it may be an idea to post a hijackthis log in the HJT log analysis part of the forum, just to discount malware first.

In case you haven't done one before here is a link Dennis

If you use firefox, I highly recommend downloading the AdBlockPlus extension.

Looks suspicious to me since the red X button isn't even clickable. Hopefully you have a good firewall active on your system, and hopefully you're not using Internet Exploiter.
Complexity of incoherent design.

The inactive close button bothered me as well. However, Ive thoroughly scanned my pc and rridgelys checked my HJ log, and pc appears clean.

The interesting thing is, since uninstalling and reinstalling FF2, and renewing the bookmark and cookies, I can now for the first time access the forum without manually logging in. :)

I can move around OK, although sometimes slow, and I can access and upload stuff to Image Shack without any difficulty.
Ive no idea why reinstalling something makes such a difference, but fingers crossed, seems to have worked so far.

Thanks to XanaTos112 and Eldmannen for the original uninstall suggestion.
