no......sort ur system out b4 u blame this site, no ad has ever slowed me down only thing that does slow me down is installed scans for my computer (when they start wotking), but the protection of my comp far outweighs the result on a game or 2

Cant say I have any problems with it either. Must just be you tread.

I havn't had any problems with any of the adverts lately (only when my comps been on ages) but other than that its fine..i suggest deleting cookies and temp files from your net pages to help run the site smoother. other than that can't think, sorry!

It was very loosely mentioned in one of the other threads, but there are apparently some issues with macromedia and some ATI GFX card drivers. If you have an ATI card take a look to the update site to check if there are any conflicts...

tidnab = did i actually start this thread with "i blame this site for every lagg problem i have ever encountered!!!!"

no i dnt fink i did mate! sorry, i do like u n not avin a go but jesus!!

revenge = thanks mate, ill look into that...

spinner = good to kno it was mentioned before and thanks for help

ok now the advert is contantly being played!! any chance of it not bein played as often on my comp?!?!?!

Not that i know off, certain firewalls can block ads alltogether but i dont what ones or whatever (remember ads help the site). There is no way that i know off to get it displayed less...only way i know is to ask Nick and do what he did with the Orange add and have it displayed less. Sorry it wasn't much of a help

no probs mate thnks for replyin

its jus that the advert is ben played alot of times like everyother ad on my screen and its annoyin havin to click on play, loop, and change quialty of advert, as it changes back to normal in like 1 min, so i have to do it agen

basically im lazy and cnt b bothered to keep doin it lol

yup i can see your point, i had to do that before but for some reason the site can now run smoothely for me and i havn't dont anything drastic to change the settings or anything, weird.

Why not just turn animations off in your browser tread?

Which do you use?

If you are using Firefox i'd have to suggest changing as it is notoriusly slow and struggles to render anything but the simplest of pages.

erm i don't kno how to do it spinner can u tell me? it would be muchly appreciated mate

revenge..... yer sometimes the site runs proper smoothley and i don't have to do anything to settings etc, but then i see a new advert and bingo.... it laggs!

ye dean m8 it is causing lagg for me too mate

must just not be me now hey krauser

It wont be just you Tread, but remember its nothing to do with funkypool, i think thats what the others meant (and they're right).

You didnt mention which browser you were using, but assuming its IE6 (the most common), go to Tools/Options/Advanced - scroll down to the Multimedia section, and untick "Play Animations".

Hope that helps..

no spinner ur gettin confused again mate i replied to krausers post who said and i quote "Cant say I have any problems with it either. Must just be you tread."

in my reply i said, and i quote "must just not be me now hey krauser "

takin the mick, so dnt tell me to remember anything mate cos i kno theres nothing worth remembering relevant to my threads!! thnks i tried tht fing, time will tell and thanks for tht info mate dint kno i cud do tht as i said, muchly appreciated

NP Tread, would be cool if you could post back to let us know if that worked or not.

BTW - unlike an ad blocker, simply disabling the animations shouldnt affect funkypools ad-hits, since the first frame should be displayed static.

(if not, its the advertisers fault for making a non-standard animation)

I swear by mozilla spinner! simplest of pages..pwah!!

spinner mate bad news..... it didnt work lol the adverts are still running smoothly!! DAM THM!! lol

tbh with ya tho, if i were to simply change settings each time, i don't get much lagg, in fact any really, its jus me being rally lazy and not being rsed to change settings each time lol

i fink i can simply change settings jus for nicks sake, so he can keep adverts

Oh well, you could untick all the multimedia and images, which woud definitely work but would also make browsing very dull!

And Magic - I swear AT Mozilla! LOL!
