Default WTF is this My350z movie pop up

This stupid movie pop up is raking hell with my work PC. I get flash 10 movie script errors constantly and it locks up my PC causing the site t not respond.


THis was once the best site for gear but traffic is dropping and this BS is stopping me from posing on my other PC.

WTF mods or who ever did it. Put a link and if anyone wants to watch we will but DO NOT force movie pop up's. This is just bad web maint and design.

Same here, using the latest Safari. Doesn't lock up my whole computer, just the browser, but I have to click out of it and get back on again for everything to work. It's becoming annoying.

I do not believe it's anything for we, as Mods, to figure out sir. I believe it's more of finding the right software to add on to your browser to effectively block the ads. I use Internet Explorer on my work PC. I'm really not sure what software and add-on pop-up blockers my company utilizes, but they seem to be pretty effective with regards to the movie pop-ups. I get one from time to time though. I can tell you if you purchase a Premier Memebership package, alot of the hyperlinks and ads are blocked automatically. It's one of the perks of becoming a Premier Member...

I purchased a Premier Membership and I have the exact same problem as the OP. I don't really remember the number of ads going down since I got it.

Its not the mods job to fix it, but it sure as hell isn't the member's responsibility either. IB needs to ensure that they are delivering a quality product that meets the needs of its customers.

Look at how much traffic is not 350Z related. Members can find that social outlet on any forum. If this site gets to be too much of a PITA people will just go to a site with less bugs, ads, shut downs, etc. IB needs the members more than the members need this forum. It would take me a lot less time to find a new forum than it would to deal with someone elses problems.

I have this problem too. Locks up the browser frequently with script errors. I think its something the mods should look into. It doesn't happen for me on any other sites.
