Moredhel Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Hey guys, as you can read HERE, I'm having trouble with Adblock and youtube vids posted by members. When Adblock is enabled, I don't see the youtube videos mentioned/posted in any topic. However, when I disable Adblock here on the forum, I do see the video, but scrolling is very laggy! Is something on the forum malfunctioning or is it my browser (Firefox, albeit an old version (3.X) since I hate the new look (way too IE-like)) ? Cheers, Moredhel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Moredhel It's obviously Firefox 3.As much as you hate to upgrade, the internet keeps marching forward, and thankfully, leaving crappy browsers such as IE6 (which required web developers to write 2 version of their websites) behind. I'm using FireFox 8 and with the themes you can make it look like however you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatalmasterpiece Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 You are also leaving yourself open for backdoor trojans. Update your software :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHammonds Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Umm....yeah. Gonna need to upgrade. Sorry. However, you are in luck since Firefox allows you to customize the UI quite extensively. Try out some Retro themes. Personally, I'm a fan of the Lava Fox theme. LHammonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboUK Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 If you don't like the new Firefox why not give Chrome a try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwes Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 The forums messed up my previous post, but I highly recommend Google Chrome. http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/cool.gif Look here for the various versions. I use the Dev version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Vyper Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 You might also want to try Opera. The YouTube AddsFree extension doesn't produce the problems you describe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
