Good call! I actually hate those flash pop-outs that block the entire screen the moment you visit the website.

If I visit a website, I sort of want to interact with it

I think the numerous ad-blocking and pop-up blocking add-ons speaks to this being a problem... Having said that a lot of the internet is funded by ads so I guess you have to put up with it for the greater good at times. It's just got to the point where I'm so used to ads I see them but I don't really "SEE" them anymore.

Originally posted by MrJiveBoJingles Anyone else get a bit tired of the profusion of big images, moving ads, and YouTube and other Flash embeds, and how quick people are to post a ton of them? These things are great in moderation (well, except for the ads), but the sheer quantity of them is kind of bugging me these days. But maybe my irritation is merely one more sign of my having reached the status of technological senior citizen.

You can get a browswer addon or use your options to turn off scripting, images, java etc..

The need varies by browser most have inbuilt capacities.

Originally posted by david.michael Honestly, this kind of thing irritates me much less than it used to when I was younger. I think it's mostly because you don't see 24 pop-ups on any general site that you visit, or ads just randomly strewn about. Even though there might be a lot of them, they are generally worked into the design scheme of the website if it's worth half a shit. Basically, internet ads in 2010 are much less irritating than they were in 2000 (not to say that it doesn't still happen.) As far as embeds on forums and such, it just doesn't really bother me.

Thanks for your explanation! It's comprehensive.

Originally posted by Ian It annoys me the laziness of people just to post a new thread with a youtube video & then expect people to respond. It's too easy for simple minds to do it though rather than put some words together in an intelligent manner.

Admitably it's nice sometimes to see what other people think of something rather than colouring everyone's view at first.
