Thread Name: PALTALK..pop-ups
Subject: RE: PALTALK..pop-ups
I'm a little annoyed by Paltalk's "automatic Sign-On" box that pops up as soon as i go online (dialup modem) when all i want to do is check the e-mail or some such. It is a minor irritation, as it can be quickly "swatted" away by clicking on the little "X".
Since I use Netscape as well, other popups are not an issue while using Paltalk. Once in a while it will open MS IE 5 automaticly, but once i close it it stays gone. I keep MS IE on board as there are the occasional websites (like "PC Pitstop System Tuneup") that will only work over IE - but otherwise seldom use it.
I may check out that "Popup Killer" for other sites that hit me with a blitzkreig barrage of 'em so quick that i can't swat 'em fast enough to keep up! I wonder if Sinsull's problem is getting her RAM overloaded with too many windows open at once. This used to happen a lot when we were at 64K of RAM, and still can now that we're up to 100K - but it is just a little more forgiving. Those popups can choke one of these older systems up pretty bad real quick, we have found.
