I love the my recent topics link in the tool bar, this is an awesome feature I wish a few other forums I visit had.
But when I try to click it yesterday and today, it just comes up as "requested page not found"
and yesterday it had some sort of backing up files status bar showed up like some sort of scary virus or something....I did not click on the x for that I just closed the tab.
Speaking of which.....I open up threads in different tabs as I scroll down each section so I can look at all the things I want to without having to go back and forth. well to do this my mouse pointer is constantly going from the center of a page to the top of my screen as I go back and forth....Welllllll there just so happens to be an add for a local car dealer that automatically gives me a POP UP as my pointer goes across it.....Could that be any more annoying? The add takes up most of the middle of the top of the page, so navigating around it (when I see it) is so not on my things to look out for.
Look I realize that advertising is a necessary evil to keep these forums running....(it wasn't always this way)......but really? Does it have to go this far? And that is the ONLY add it happens with, none of the others in the same spot do this. Please tell me you can make that go away....

I don't see any issue with the My Recent Topics. I can use the feature in Firefox, Chrome and IE8. What browser are you using and what version? If Firefox, are you using add-ons?

That was probably an ad served by Google.

Ok, I'm done whining now.
If you believe your mouse pointer is actually being controlled by CorvetteForum or partners (ads) by moving from the middle to the top of the page, that is not normal or typical and I honestly do not believe that's coming from CorvetteForum or partners.
As far as an ad expanding when you mouse over, those are called mouse-over ads and are sometimes used throughout the network. CorvetteForum has blocked those ads, when given screen captures and a click-through link, for any that are behaving badly (expanding full-screen or expanding even if you don't mouse-over).

I am using Chrome, never had this issue before.
And now voila it is working
Thank you

Ummm no, that would be me moving the mouse, I was just trying to describe what my normal actions are when the "mouse-over" add gets me.

So if you block them (thank you) then someone should be notified that you have a rouge add on you hands and should be found and deleted before it causes serious injury
The add is for Bommarito ____ ; don't know which auto maker as they own many.
I have had trouble with my recent topics for over a year. I always get the 503 error. This subject has been talked about plenty of times. Seems high post count users have the most trouble.
