J9withdogs Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 It is a registry glitch with the Version 3 update. I can get it working if I create a new user, but not on an existing user. The techybods on Sagazone have given me a fix, but it might be beyond my capabilities - messing with the registry can have fatal consquences. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J9withdogs Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 They've got rid of the offending ad now, Colin. It was a flashing banner down the right-hand side that had been on here all day until we started complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel B Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 That ****** pencil writing 'Subscribe' really annoys me! It wouldn't be so bad if it actually looked like it was writing it properly but it doesn't! It's just annoying ... I wish I could get an animated pencil sharpener and stick it in it and make it disappear! >:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(lol) It's driving me nuts, I wish it would go away!!!!!!! The only way I can hide it from view is to expand the size of my browser page so it disappears off the side!!!!!

Brian Kirby Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Further update on this. First follow the advice above to disable playing animations. However, if that is only partially successful, the following works for Internet Explorer 7, but not earlier versions. (If unsure which IE version you are using, open IE, click on "Help", then on "About Internet Explorer".)You next need to disable Macromedia/Adobe Flash Player. Do this in IE 7 by:Open Internet Explorer.Click "Tools", then Click "Internet Options", thenClick "Programs", thenClick "Manage add-ons", thenSelect "Add-ons that run without permissions", thenSelect "Shockwave Flash Object", thenAt the bottom of the window, select the "Disable" button.That will turn flash off, but leave it intact. To re-start it, look in the bar at the bottom of your screen, and you should see a little gear wheel, with a red ring containing a diagonal bar sitting on it. Click that, and it will say "Manage add-ons". Double click it, and you will go straight back to the window, where you can again point to "Manage add-ons that run without permissions", click the "Enable" button, and then get all those annoying little animations twiddling away happily again.Be careful to just select the Shockwave Flash Object to disable and no more, as disabling other add-ins may have unwanted results.
