I tried that on a couple sites and all I get for a page is a notice to turn on javascript to use the site. It loads nothing else. It's a good idea and I wish sites wouldn't force java on everyone, it has its issues from what I've read, but it seems some think they own the computers people use to surf the internet with as well as their own. One reason I hate ads and some of the java stuff, it makes sites so annoyingly flashy. It's hard to read what you came for when you have a flashing ad or some other element distracting you. While sites may think ads help them, it doesn't with me. I built my first rig in 2003. While at first I didn't use adblock, I've never once clicked on any ad, not once. It's my unconditional rule. If I want to buy something, I have sites I go to for that. If it's computer or electronic related, newegg or tigerdirect is my main sites but sometimes I find things elsewhere. Some things, ebay, amazon etc. If they went to the trouble to send my screen a million ads over the years, not one of them has ever been clicked. I know, I'm weird. They have their rules, I have mine. If they ever get it to where sites are user friendly when it comes to ads, maybe I'll change. I don't see them ever changing and that means I won't be either. This new captcha thingy is just annoying as heck. It's yet another thing that needs to hit the road and leave drag marks. Thanks for the hint. Maybe it will work on some other sites. It's worth trying at least. Dale :-) :-)
