The banner in the lower left, MMORPG 150, Vote Now!.
this banner opens a new browser window behind my current, I did not notice it at first, but if your window is full screen you will not see it, it slows everything down and new people might not notice, I didn't.
Is there a way to get it to stop doing that?
DOn't click on it maybe? It only appears when you click those voting links, so presumably your clicking them and then voting. Then you can close it down. Also, opening a new window slows down your computer? Are you running an obsolete 10 year old computer, because that really shouldn't make that much of a difference to running speeds.
No I'm running a mac with OS X .5.8
It is only the one banner, and I figured if it opens a new WINDOW, behind the one you are on, it's sneaky and just wrong. The window has no effect on your voting what so ever but having a second window open that is running flash and adds that you are not aware of does slow down your computers cpu. Anyone know that.
I am not trying to be a pain just think it is wrong, and that someone should know. Sorry.
And not to be rude but if you can not answer a question with constructive helpful advice, DON'T answer.
SO its opening another window in addition to the normal voting window? In which case a normal pop-up stopper should prevent it - I know I've never had an issue like you are explaining.
ANd yes it may slow down your compute, but generally one window doesn't slow down most modern computers to a noticable degree, unless you already have a bunch of them open anyway.
