archmage ads

greenspun.com : LUSENET : The Defenders : One Thread

I have had a problem with the Netbrodcasters ad in the pop up adds for archmage, first of all it trys to change your homepage, which is rude, however my computer has crashed when I click no, I was wondering if anyone else has had that problem, and what your opinion of the hompage change tactic is...

thanks all

Try this:

This has only been tested in Internet Explorer 5.x (versions of 5).

From the "Tools" pull down select "Internet Options".
Click the "Security Tab".
Click on "Restricted Sites" and then click the "Sites..." button.
In the "Add this Web site to the zone" text box type the archmage server you use.
"arch15.magewar.com" is Server 1 for example.
Click the "Add" button and then the "OK" button.
Now you shold be back at the "Restricted Sites" page.
Click "Custom Level...".
On the "Reset To" pull down select "Low" and click "Reset".
Now scroll down to the "Scripting" options and under "Active scripting" select "Disable".
Now click "OK" to go back to the "Restricted Sites" page.
Click "OK" there to close the window and enjoy Archmage without pop up ads
