When I try to get into the thread about the BOT question from Germany, I get a bunch of popup ads and then get shut out of the thread. Anybody else having the same problem?

Lightbulb Work Around Solution

Disable Java scripting in your browser.

For MS Internet Explorer you achieve that by going to TOOLS-INTERNET OPTIONS-SECURITY-CUSTOM LEVEL and selecting "disable" or "prompt" at the bottom of the options list for each of the choices under "Scripting".

I have sent an e-mail to Mick Taylor asking him to delete the offending post in that thread. It contains a bad automatic referral script that causes the popups that we are all experiencing.

With Java Scripting temporarily disabled (or answering NO to the prompts while in that thread) you will be able to contribute to the thread without the annoying popups.

You won't need to restart your browser or your PC for the changes to take effect. Change back when you've finished with the thread.

Hope this helps

Cheers

I glad Bob got rid of the problem. There was something added to my post. I couldn't get to it to remove it.
