We shouldn't have to resort to having to do this in the first place. I would rather pay a subscription fee than deal with their ad issues any more. I don't mind supporting valuable resources. HelpMeFind is a site I will never mind getting out my credit card for, and even before they requested memberships, I never once saw an ad.

I'm sure I haven't been overly missed, but I've backed away from using this forum very much any more. I've learned a great deal here, and have enjoyed all of you here, but......

Gee, Sandy, hate to see you go, but if i have to, I can find a road out, too! Rustyj

Using NoScript within Firefox is not just a way to get around the ads -- it's an extremely safe way to browse the internet.

I don't ever visit questionable websites (ie. porn, "hacks", etc) yet I once got a nasty spy/adware "virus" by falling asleep at my mouse and accidentally clicking some web ad banner at a safe site. This was several years back when IE vulnerabilities were exploited with regularity.

Since FF and Noscript, I've had minor hassles with my normal sites until I add them as safe sites "Allow XYZ site". But from that point forward, never see ads, never get junk installed, and can browse with confidence, even when I grudgingly hand my keyboard over to a visitor wanting to "get on the 'net".

Yep. Taketh Firefox unto ye bosom and the clouds shall part.

Sandy808, there sure is alot of grumbling here about something that is provided to Us users for free. This site has to make $ somehow.
