Problems with links?

[Adagio]

For the last few days I haven't been able to use links on this site (to other sites). When I click a link it just opens a "Cannot find server" page, with the usual link text in the adress:

http://abcnews.go.com/

Am I the only one having this problem?

[Skanky Burns]

What is the link that opens in your new page that doesn't load? Such as

http://www.joetec.net/adserv/between3.php?...etc

. This will help determine where the problem lies. And for the record, all links work fine for me.

Sometimes it shows (in the adress field) like what you posted, and sometimes it shows up as:

h t t p : / / a p o l y t o n . n e t / g o . p h p ? h t t p : / / a b c n e w s . g o . c o m /

Works fine for me in both Opera and IE.

I usually just get a ton of pop ups that crash my browser. Has something changed?

Have you installed Norton Internet Security and enabled the ad filterabilities (That will make it impossible to follow external links from Polly)

[Adagio]

I have had ad filterablities for the last many years, and have never given me any such problems, and I don't have any Norton Internet Security or such...

Browser?
Also, have you tried it with different browsers?
Any other links get spaces mysteriously added to them?

[Adagio]

I use IE 6.0, and haven't tried other browsers...

I have only had this problem on this site... a week ago it worked fine though...

Question asked, question answered. Ming?

Try Opera or Mozilla Firebird. If problems persist, please see your doctor.

Not that I know of. I get ADG's error message above and the following:

http://joetec.net/adserv/between3.php?User_Id=253&img=http://207.44.245.200/Apolyton-60.gif&height=60&width=255&url=http%3A%2F%2Fabcnews.go.com%2F

Links work for me on all forum sites EXCEPT Apolyton.

Who is this "joetech" and why is he terrorizing Apolyton?

[Skanky Burns]

Joetec is an advertisement site we are forced to go through before getting to the site we were originally after.

I have Norton installed, I use Mozilla and AGV is always running too.

Strangely the links work sometimes, but I can't download anything from 'poly. To be honest. IMVHO, the new ads-on-click-link system sucks donkey balls for me.

But I'd rather lose out on links than leave my compy unprotected or use a crappy browser, so I guess its my fault.

I use norton and Opera. No ad-filtering though. Works fine for me.
