Yeah, that Lycos thing is annoying as hell. I do this everytime; When I come to the forums I almost immediately hit stop button, just when the Tripod/Lycos ad loads (at least for me it loads before the forums do), then I hit reload and vola. That damn ad is gone... but not for long though, when I post something it comes right back from depths of hell where I cursed it. and every new post brings new ad, so after a few posts I can't see forums at all :rage:
and then again it would probably be easier just to use;
Ad-Muncher or something alike... but that program works too efficiently for me. It often blocks too much...
