Title: Not seeing DSAddict links?
Post by: Julia99 on September 26, 2004, 03:13:22 PM
when i go to the thread about DSAddicts promos. . i never see the "link" on my screen . ..in Mozilla or IE. . would this be a firewall issue?  When i got an email and is downloaded into my email account the link was there but not when i looked at the email here--in the forum--i can't figure out what setting i need to change, any ideas?

Not sure how it is with other firewalls, but, if you're running Norton's version, if the Ad Blocking option is selected, the link for the web site won't appear when you view DSAddict's post.

The reason may have to do with the fact that the word PROMOS appears in the URL. Norton will block links that contain words like ad, promo, banners, etc. because it suspects they are advertisements.

Learned this the hard way when I set up a web site over the summer and put the page banner/title graphics in a folder called banners. They wouldn't load for Norton Internet Security users.
