Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Pop up adds, I can now empathise.

Spent the last week on Vacation, Iphone 5 and Hilton hotel wi-fi.

The Campfire was unusable, I'd seen all the other threads, I believed you guys, I just never experienced it till last week.

I was on weather related sites many times each day, I would review restaurants, and many local attractions, which D.C. has tons of, I could visit other fishing/hinting sites,

NEVER A SINGLE PROBLEM.

But visit the 'fire, wouldn't last a minute....

Feel free to offer all the solutions, I'll then forward those to the Tech dept at the Hilton Hotel Chain, should be a hoot.

This place sucks donkey balls.
It stops, it reloads, it's full of pop ups, shut my main computer off, tablet...have to watch the constant reloading, phone...constant reloading, going back to the top.

Hard to post, and have to watch every word you type as during the reloading, cursor moves to other places.

It's as bad as it's ever been.

I just don't know what you guys are going on about.

For my old PC and Firefox I put on Adblock Plus and squelched most of the BS.

Still have never had a problem here. Mac and adblock and all flies just fine.

That's why there is Adblock and Adblock Plus. About the only popups I get are on newspaper articles I get onto from Facebook links. Those are the ones that urger you to subscribe to them. Other than that I may see the frame to one in the odd video. Never had a single popup on this site.

Makes a guy wonder why the board is so slow....

Guys are getting tired of this crap and going other places. Heck even the classifieds have about half the content as they did prior to this crap.

You're a person of logic,

tell me why I only experience issues on the fire, and no where else,

And you're suggesting "I" should fix the problem?

Because you are a Yankee and expect someone else to fix problems you are having?

Adapt and overcome and figure out how to make it work, or bitch, your choice.

PS: I'd be more concerned on the WHY you're looking at the 'Fire on vacation.

I come to the fire while on vacation for two reasons,

to read your daily pissing and moaning, and to communicate with a few people who live in that area.

Anything else you need to know?

Irony, a guy talking about bitching and moaning on a thread he started about bitching and moaning.

Only you could confuse facts with bitching and moaning.

You have to admit, there is some truth to this...

I can't tell you why the 'fire is loaded, I'm just reporting what I did. I'm using an old machine that bogs on sites with loads of bullshit, uh, I mean extra content, yeah that's the ticket. So I did an easy thing that has worked so far.

The sad part is my "old, slow machine" is many times more powerful than the Sun workstation I regularly used doing signal processing when I got my MSEE a while back.

Be prepared to be ridiculed and told how you're an insignificant degenerate because it doesn't happen to others on this site.

As has been said many MANY times - yes, this website is horribly overloaded with ads and stuff. BUT...You can make it all magically disappear.

1. Don't use Internet Explorer.

2. Don't try to do internet on a toaster oven, a cordless drill, or a phone.

3. Do use an ad blocker and a popup blocker.

Or get this site fixed. Porn sites don't give me pop up ads or reload for chrissakes.

I added some of those helpers that I was advised of and my whole computer suffered accordingly. Ghostery, for example screwed up Photobucket too bad to even use it. I had other issues as well.

All the know-it-alls probably work for some pharmaceutical company with all their disclaimers on the cure and yet there are so many problems attributed with the fix, that the cure is worse than the disease.

I don't have this situation with any other site I use. The common thread is the Campfire, not mine or anyone else's computer...
