    What is up with the 30 second ad when I log in???????????????????

    Nuff Said.
    Why do they call it common sense?

    If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?

    How'bout using Firefox with a decent ad-blocker? Never see any stinking ads or banners.

      That was my input hours ago - where the hell is that 'send' button again?

        Yup. IE and Chrome are both terrible for ads. Firefox is all I use now.

          I used to use SRWare Iron for browsing needs. Chrome based, without all the privacy concerns. Since the Google web store changes though, it made the browser useless due to the inability to get extensions now.

                I've never seen one.
                I know I should be ashamed of myself. Strangely though, I am not.

                  No, it's all good here - with Chrome, Firefox, or IE

                    I have never seen one. nmfaxman may need to get a good anti-malware software and check for browser hijacker infections. It could also be his ISP inserting ads when new pages are opened. I have had flash player cause my browser to go non-responding occasionally. Seems to be more with my Windows 8 computer at home.

                      I suspect nmfaxman has a virus or 30. My suggestion is to run Malware Bytes on your PC. =^..^=
                      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
                      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
                      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
                      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
                      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                        Not a virus nor malware.
                        2 different networks and 2 different OS's.
                        Win 8.1 and XP.

                        I am a trained IT tech and that was my first thought.

                        Google settings different on each OS.
                        Hate exploder and firefox is too slow when loading a page.
                        Why do they call it common sense?

                        If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?

                          No CTN logon beg screen or pop up adware here.... nada,none,nil....

                          Only the usual Justmanuals advert in the page header,an the Xero ads down the right hand side-bar when using my Android Tablet. I see alot of browser profiled hyper links if I browse the web. Example I was looking at cameras the other day and now I have camera company hyperlinks appearing below CTN pages.

                              If Chrome is running a 30 second ad before you can get to the page and Firefox does not, I would say that Firefox is much faster. It won't hurt to try it.
