Purple Tentacle Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 plz get rid of that shock the monkey ad banner - ok yeah u need to get some cash in for the site, but that particular one is causing chaos with my computer. The mouse speed moves to a trudging jerking movement, and is totally unresponsive and its not just on your site, it affects everything else im doing as well when that damn monkey-zapping device is enabled. please find a new sponsor or something... anyone else having trouble with it or is it just me???

Guest murta Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 Sorry for any problems it's causing. Don't think it's that simple to change. I'll talk to Zero about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dec Ryan Posted February 18, 2001 Share Posted February 18, 2001 Yeah, I hate that ads too. Although I think there's no way to get rid of that ads 'cause it's not from escapemi.com but it's from ign.com... ------------------ <embed width="230" height="65" src="http://www.geocities.com/blinkxxss/dec_ryan.swf"></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ZeroXcape Posted February 19, 2001 Share Posted February 19, 2001 I'm sending word to eFront about that ad right now. I will ask that they remove it from our servers. If you will, please let me know what O/S you are running and what browser version you are using. (ex: Windows 98/Netscape 4.7, MacOS/IE 4.0) Thanks, ------------------ ZeroXcape EMI.com Webmaster zeroxcape@escapemi.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufio Posted February 19, 2001 Share Posted February 19, 2001 well it works fine with win98 first edition and IE 5.5, but i have like every plug-in for the interenet that macromedia and company have released so.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brief Posted February 19, 2001 Share Posted February 19, 2001 I think if you're using IE, it will load the Java applet banner, where the zapper will move with your mouse, which is why it takes so long to load. If you're using Netscape, it just loads up an image, so it is probably faster. ------------------ Vroom Vroom!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaMonkey Posted February 22, 2001 Share Posted February 22, 2001 no they didn't I still have it. But I don't care. It's just... ANNOYING, if you pay attention to it. So don't pay. Just as simple. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brief Posted February 22, 2001 Share Posted February 22, 2001 As much as I would like to just ignore it, it's a little bit more complicated than that. When I tried to read this forum from home, it caused my Internet Explorer to freeze, which in turn caused the other programs to freeze... So I disabled Java, and then it worked. ------------------ Vroom Vroom!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brief Posted February 24, 2001 Share Posted February 24, 2001 It works fine for me while I'm at work, but I have 256MB of RAM here, whereas at home, I only have 128MB, so that might be the reason. ------------------ "I'm telling you, the thing won't print!

Frenchyd Posted February 25, 2001 Share Posted February 25, 2001 all we're asking is for a different ad. it's hard to concentrate with that frickin monkey sliding back and forth across my screen!!! go back to the old, boring ones. plus who are they kidding, how easy is it to win the stupid monkey thing. all you do is hold down your mouse button and drag it around and you win. argh ------------------ http://www.geocities.com/liquid_water4/ Visit my site? and Sign the guestbook? and visit my NEW forum?
