Just now I had to backspace twice to go back to the prior screen. On the first backspace command, it threw up a bunch of stuff, including "specClick". I don't like it.
I really wish, UC, you could see your way clear to have a Forum without all the commercial intervention and spying.

Graybeard, Thanks for the heads-up about the problem. I'm probably going to send Proboards the money to remove the ads sometime this week. Removing the ads should at least make the board load faster, and would provide more viewing space on the screen for all of the sub-boards on the opening page. It would also let me know how many people really visit this site, since many are never listed on the sitemeter. (The 1st ad-free purchase only works for the first 50,000 hits for the month, and then the ads reappear. Since my sitemeter has never registered that many hits in any 6 month, it'd be interesting to see if there are actually a lot more hits than are recorded.) I'd like to strongly discourage members and guests from ever clicking on any commercial ad they see on this board, especially those with Chinese writing. I remove those ads as soon as I see them, and block their IP addresses immediately. (I have blocked well over 100 IP addresses already for posting ads on this forum.) I strongly discourage members from posting their real last name for registration, or anywhere on this board (or anywhere else, for that matter.) If you've already used your real last name to sign up for this board, I'd encourage you to change it to a false last name. I'd also encourage all members to give a false birthdate and false zip code for registration on this board (or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter.) Just remember that Bush administration has essentially suspended the 4th amendment, meaning that anything posted online may be data mined by the FBI or the NSA without your knowledge or consent.
