Well it's not entirely the case. The ads coming in are always coming from a few different sources, depending on which ad it is. I don't know that we can get direct urls to them either since they're all being served as part of a PHP array. There's a function that goes into the directory and randomly serves up an ad.
Then create a page that ads will be served to, same as these.
How will that help? Wouldn't it be exactly like this? I mean with the same issues, since the ads would be served in the same manner?
Deleted by me.
FWIW....after all this time with no crashes I've encountered 3 in 24 hours...all while trying to post to a thread....on XP Pro.... :(
Join the club.
Everytime I disable adblock extension I crash within moments.
Every time I join a club I get in trouble...:D
and thanks for reminding me, nix......adblock.....had to remove it as it was blocking some vdr stuff and I couldn't get it to release it, so I deleted it....about 2 weeks ago........and that broken web page icon is always broken, no matter what site I go to. Other than these 'irksomes', it's been working well.
It's improved for me... only one crash this week. No ad blocking of any sort.
It's possible the ad code that was causing it has had it's run and is gone. I was never able to reproduce the problem which still makes me wonder if it's not a problem with the ad code and flashplayer 8. I think I still have 6 or so.
Looks like there's a potentially new problem:
I just opened up my beloved second home and started clicking on all the threads I wanted to view.
I think I had about 25 tabs at least open.
Anyway my WinMe system with 512MB ram and 768MB min swapfile almost froze and I looked at system resources and it said 0% !!!!!!!!!!
I started closing tabs and for each one I closed I gained 3% until I got back to about 82%.
I'll now log off and try closing Fx and see what happens when I come back in.
That's a known issue with 1.5 and some earlier versions too. Apparently open source programmers don't place that much importance on memory management. Thunderbird eats a lot of resource too. Fortunately I have it to spare.
Ok did all that and it got back up to 83% free.
Started Fx back up and got into VDr and opened 12 threads in tabs and my resources began draining away until they hit a low of 52%.
Just closed them all except for 1 and it's back up to 79%
Opened google in one, ebay in another and 10 threads at CTH forums and i onyl dropped to 70%.
Something weird going on.
Yes I've read about the huge memory usage issues, but why does it only start happening today and only with VDr ?Quote:

except I've got flashblock installed so just get a symbol not the ad.
Anyway it's 3am so I must be off as bed is calling me.
Have a good day y'all
