    Re: Extremely annoying adds

    Hmm, I wonder if that has something to do with it. How many others experiencing this issue are using vers. 8? I'm using 7 and see considerably lesser CPU cycles.

    Ok, it's possible to be the cause. But that shouldn't be a point here. The ad should be built in such a way that it behaves similar with different versions of Flash. It should be tested before being published.

    I'm using Flash 8 (firefox or IE) and the same problem 100 % cpu usage (at a 1.3 GHz processor.)

    Ok we think they may have corrected this. We took it up with the advertiser and they think it's corrected. Now we just have to find out if it is, and report back. Thanks for bringing it to our attention

    Re: Extremely annoying adds

    I have noticed a significant difference. The ad now only uses up to 12% of my CPU at any given time when on screen (10% average), up to 10% off screen (8% average).

    Much better than 50% usage.

    Yes, I think it's ok now. (I'm curious what was the problem. )

    We'll never know what it was. It was the advertiser's coding and they don't tell us what they changed.

    Brad, I'm still getting these crap questionnaire popups: Marketing Research Spam

    Aren't your web people competent to fix this, or are they supposed to pop up repeatedly?

    Well....are you sure it isn't for some reason being cached on your site? I haven't seen such a popup in months...

    Re: Extremely annoying adds

    I have realised these ads are too annoying. I'm sick and tired of it.
    And as so I have finally decided to leave codeguru.

    Possible, I suppose, but I don't see how - I regularly delete all cookies, I have four separate trojan/spyware/adware detectors that run a full scan nightly (and pick up plenty of junk!), and an anti-virus suite. The pop-up only appears when I navigate threads/forums on CodeGuru...

    Perhaps you could suggest what else I should be looking for?

    btw I just got another one as I entered CodeGuru tonight.
