Re: New Message Board

I suspect that the blocker-evader pop-ups may be putting people off posting here Philip. Which is a shame really, because an independent share boat forum is a great idea. I guess it's a catch-22 situation - unless you get more posts it would cost you to stop the popups - but I think you'll have to try to find another contender.

Re: Re: New Message Board

I suggest that anyone who wants to block advertising on this board adds the following to the list of blocked URL's in whatever antivirus software they use:-

http://jupiter

http://mercury

If you don't understand what I am talking about or are concerned about the ethics then don't try it!

On my computer this removes all advertising on this forum with the exception www.boatshare.co.uk website link.

So no excuses for not posting or even lurking!

Allan

Hi Colin

The full site names for blocking are:-

http://jupiter.bravenet.com
and
http://mercury.bravenet.com

However, most Antivirus software will block "all URL's begining with" or require "*" as a wildcard. A bit of experimenting is called for. I would suggest that

http://jupiter.bravenet.com
and
http://mercury.bravenet.com

or

http://jupiter.bravenet.com*
and
http://mercury.bravenet.com*

should work for most AV software that supports site blocking.

It would be worthwhile reading the AV help system regarding this.

Pleased it works for you.

Regards

Allan

Hi Alan,

Blocking the Jupiter and Mercury domains on the Netgear router works fine too.

Thanks.
