Larian Studios Forums General Chat Chat (Anything) An Unbelievable Plug for myself :)

Okay folks after days of blood sweat and tears my new <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> site is finally up.

However due to the fact that I am still waiting for my (a)dsl connection I have to make do with the 0catch free site, which kinda made a mess of the first page due to the bloomin' ads, also you will find that the Nav bar on the left is missing a bit and there's no scroll bar (will see if I can fix that) but you can just hold your mouse pointer near the bottom right cnr and it will scroll.

Oh well here's hoping for the ruddy adsl connection <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

What font did you use ? Looks good to me.

i like the wonder woman look! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
nice site too BTW! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Very nice indeed mea, Jurak i used to have a rather nice <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />picture of Wonderwoman in a Very Very tight costume,it almost cut her in two..if you know what i mean <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Lol! At least im not the only one who thinks her pic looks like wonder woman <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kitty.gif" alt="" />

love the site (miss the golden lasso ) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
Hate the popups (free webhosting?) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif" alt="" />

@Jurak

Hmm I think that's a compliment, although take my word for it I am no Wonder Woman <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
and thank you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

@Spick

Thank you too, and I figure it must have been a very small picture <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

@Mandrake

No one said you where <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> You are however pretty unique, considering the "nick" and the "Avatar" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

@Morbo

Hmm as soon as NWN or DD2 bring out a Lasso, I'll fix the pic <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Sorry about the popups, try CrazyBrowser which is a front end for Internet Explorer and will auto stop pop-ups, but yeah I am waiting for an adsl connection (that will happen one day so I can put up my non free site <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> ( unfortunately 0catch is the only free webspace which will have my name in it, and allows me to use ftp and lets me use eleventeen files, unlike freeweb which cut of your file transfer at 50 files <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> )

With Mozilla you can block pop-ups. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yeah I know, but I really got turned of when the Netscape went to Mozilla, and I have found that IE6xx is by far more customizable <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" />...On the subject of pop-ups, and i'm not talking about the advertising when you visit certain web sites, since i've had my new PC and been running XP Home Edition i get a different kind of pop-up, a small grey window with "Messnger service" in the title and the subject is usualy about getting money or something sexual,at the bottom of the message it tells me not to click the OK button but to copy down the IP address(Nmbers) and paste it into my internet explorer browser, even though i am using AOl?
This is very annoying and happens on any site i visit as soon as i'm online,even here.
If anybody can tell me how to get shot of it i will be eternaly grateful.
P.S. Neither my wife or myself or my kids have been on any porn site on this new PC, cross my heart hope to die.

I removed messenger from my xp machine without any fuss, but apparently there are a couple of versions of it which are handled differently, so take a look at this link

Cheers cleglaw, people on this forum are bloomin' brill. i have done what you said , i'll see if this does the trick, i'm not convinced it will. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Dar nabbit, that didn't do it,they are small grey windows, offering me allsorts, from Diplomas to women of the night who would like a chat, and it's getting on my t-its.

Hmm sounds to me as if you have a few spyware programs installed, try using Spybot Search and Destroy and run that program you will be surprised what comes up!

On a side note, does anyone else beside you use the PC??

1. another way to remove windows messenger--click start, all programs, accessories, system tools, disk cleanup, more options tab, windows components, you should then see windows messenger in the list, and if it is installed remove it.
2. download, install, update and run Spybot and Adaware. You can find them both at cnet.com in their download section. Run them both periodically.
3. click start, run, type msconfig, click on startup tab. Uncheck all unneeded entries. If unsure about an entry, go to answersthatwork.com and look it up on their tasklist. Some intrusive apps will return at your next startup and answersthatwork.com will also advise you about how to deal with those.

I do not recommend running spybot and ad-aware on the same machine, as spybot puts empty files with the 'name' of the offending file in place of the culprit(s) and ad-aware would then remove those fakes in which case you would loose your "immunization" IMHO <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Wonder Woman didn't use a katana.
Mea here is some feedback about your site which I can see will be very good once you fix the problems.
Initially the ads across the top of the xcreen aren''t bad , but as I get deeper into the site they cover more and more of the screen. The ads for the home protection agency are the worst -- all over the screen after I click on "skip the intro." If I nuke the ads, the good stuff still stays in its small frame. I can't see the far right side of the right frame and can't scroll to it--no scroll bar as you mentioned, but just holding the mouse pointer near the bottom right cnr doesn't make it scroll. I got no popups, but I run Mozilla with all popups blocked.
I hope you don't take it badly that I give you this feedback; I'm actually trying to help you get your site looking good. The homepage in fact looks fine, mighty fine.

I run them both without any problems. Of course I don't use the immunization feature of Spybot, because as far as I can tell it strictly applies to IE which I don't use. On the other hand even if I did, Adaware gives you the option to selectively remove detected problems. Would that not address your concern Mea? I have noticed that although both programs address the same type of junk on your computer, each will pick up stuff the other one misses.

Great Site!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I can't wait for you to get rid of the pop-ups from Hell problem!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" /> And BTW love your Wonder Woman Body, But being 5 months prego.......... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> JEALOUS........ <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

Cleglaw sent me this link Windows Messenger Spam
It has done the trick for me,hope it does it for you, i'm sure it will. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
