  3. Our gif only content threads have a rule where all thumbs must be posted as a static thumbnail that does not play. Currently imagebam made a change where they no longer produce static thumbs. Therefore, please do not use imagebam, or any host, that provides live playing gifs in those specific threads. If you see your gif playing once you post, try to use a smaller thumbnail and if that does not work use a different approved host.

    Yep, just got another, seems to be a 24hr cycle instead of a log in log off cycle which is cool.

    Each time I enter on Phun (not logging) pop-ups appear but only one. After, that's all. Annoying, really.

    I think it would be best to make this a forum anouncement, as when it started happening to me I ran some antivirus checks not realising that these were popups added by phun.

    When you become more acclimated with the board...i.e. more than 6 posts, you'll know to look here for forum announcements max. ;)

    I'd go for this, a car forum that I'm a member of sent an email to its members recently asking for contributions to keep it running because vBulletin had upped the price of the forum software.

    I'd be happy to pay a fee, quarterly or yearly. Hell, if you offered life membership I'd consider it if I could afford it.

    The only thing that would concern me is some of these features would need to only be available after you had been a member for a while, or we could open it to some right idiots abusing things.

    Try running them in SAFE MODE and your Hijack This log has a few probs but I dont have my info with me to help you on that also you need to run that in SAFE MODE also . What does HJT find and reccomend you remove?
    .You need a good Firewall to stop the Pop-ups. such a Zone Alarm

    Ahhhh, I shoulda looked around before making a thread about pop-ups,,,,,,, Just got annoyed at this jasmin.com thing all over the place- wouldn't be bad if it was a car ad or sumthin but closing out a page when your wife or kids walk into a room only to have a stupid ad with what looks like a live web cam chick on your computer definitely aint cool.
