Mot Morenzi Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Just yesterday, I started getting pop-up ads on here. Also, certain words in posts have been highlighted and lead to outside links, all relating to products. Is everybody experiencing this or is it a setting on my computer?

Brock Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 I haven't experienced any of that. Very strange! I would be curious if anyone else is as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Lotus sounds like you have spyware on your computer. I use Super Anti Spyware free version to clean up mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 I dun't get any pop up ads BUT, every single time I come on, I get something that I have to exit and sign in again. Always the same one but it infuriates me so much I just exit it right away. Thought it was something we had to put up with to reduce costs for Brock.

I find if I'm on a web page elsewhere that takes an eternity to pull up it will often shut down my computer and then when I log back on I'm signed out of everything I was on during that last period on logging on. It's very easy to log back into TLL fortunately but making that first post again after I do can often take some time. Other than that this is one of the smoothest, fastest websites I visit. Never any pop up ads here for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mot Morenzi Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Found out what happened. Some program called TopArcadeHits somehow got installed and that's what was causing the ads to pop up. But their website explained about it and how to uninstall it.

Lucyilove Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'm having a bit of trouble on OTHER websites though, Greg in Hollywood, Boy Culture, After Elton.com, off and on, very annoying. I always have problems loading up Greg in Hollywood, only thing I can do is hit STOP the minute all the article text on page 1 has loaded so I can read it. If I want to see the photos on a particular post I usually have to click "comment" so just that post's writeup/photos/comments will come up. I think it may be in part to too many youtube links on the page which is my least favorite thing about his site, I don't need help finding interesting stuff on youtube and a lot of what he links I'm not interested in (particularly the soap operas but also some of the music links).

That's weird, this is one of my fave "go to" sites and I rarely have any trouble loading it! What browsers do you guys use, wonder if that's part of the issues? (i.e., do you have the latest versions of....whatever, etc. and do you clean your cookies???) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Sure it's your computer or your drool clogging up your keyboard!?? Yeah, could be. Don't you have any other major sites you could tell me about, i'm getting a little tired of the ones I go to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a shame as Greg OFTEN features Lucy things, clips from her shows, people connected to her in some way, it's an excellent site for all these things.

Don't you have any other major sites you could tell me about, i'm getting a little tired of the ones I go to now. No...I'm having a hard enough time keeping up with THIS one and Greg's.... I'm sure if you got to googling it'd lead you in "new directions" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if you got to googling it'd lead you in "new directions" I tried going to a few of the links but none of them measure up to Greg in Hollywood. Oh and by the way, is your Private Message thingy empty and open as I have something to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
