1.) Install Firefox
2.) Install Adblock extension to Firefox
3.) Choose Tools->Adblock->preferences and add a filter that looks like:
http://*.intellitxt.com/*

4.) Enjoy no more pop ups

Ah, thank gawd I got rid of it. This is what I did.

1. Must have firefox.
2. go here: https://addons.mozilla.org/extension...=firefox&id=10
3. click on "Install now (70kb)"
4. restart firefox.
5. go to Tools > Adblock > Preference
6. type in "http://my350z.us.intellitxt.com/*" without the quotes in the "New Filter" field. Press "Add" and make sure you highlight the entry once it is listed.
7. click the "remove ads" radio button
8. and you should be done. check to see if it worked for you.

If you do have any complications, remember, there is the "adblock options" in that same window that you can try.

Good luck, now my350z.com is normal again for me.

You mean those sponsored links are supposed to show up for all non-premier members? That is focking retarded.

They should show up for GUESTS to the website, AKA NON-REGISTERED USERS.

NOT registered users.

You guys are so ignorant.

Do you know what it costs to maintain a forum like this?

Do you? If you can tell me how much bandwidth and space it needs per month, I can give you a name of a web host and their prices.

Example, the webhost that I have now is 500 megs of space and unlimited bandwidth. Now, there is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth so I will tell you what the maximum I have used in a month, and that is 550 gigs. This setup costs me $30usd per month.

Oh, and if you want to talk about dedicated box, as in you own and configure the box and bring it into the webhost to use their bandwidth, I can give you the pricing on that as well since I've done it before.

I think this was a dumb idea by the Forum's administrators. We're being spammed by our own website. It cheapens the look of the forum, especially when links for aftermarket accessories for Honda Civiics and Subarus start showing up in a discussion about 350Z's. I didn't join this forum for that!! The only way I can get rid of these pesky little links is to have my Norton Antivirus block all ads, however that removes the signature ads from companies that actually support this website and offer parts and accessories that I am actually interested in. How do you think MVP, Intense Motorsports, or CP Racing feels about that?

I'd like to hear from an administrator or moderator or whatever that can tell us why this decision was made.
