Question about Computer Web Linkage stuff
Book Guy
I write it like I mean it, but mostly they just want my money.
1. I go to a "compilation" website.
2. I pick a link from there. A new window pops up (as desired). But ...
3. My browser (any browser -- IE, Firefox, etc.) responds by jumping first to a link OTHER than the one I thought I was going to. This is set up by the compilation people to get them click-through revenue. But ...
4. I can beat this by simply closing the new window and then clicking the link again. This second time through, it goes to the right place.
5. I enjoy my porn. :)
So, here are the specifics.
1. Compilation: jizzle.com.
2. Click through to ad: pick any one video (upper left, first one!) and click it. Boing, I go to some OTHER compilation site (ass4all.com, jizzlink.com, etc.) even though I didn't expect it.
3. Close that.
4. CLick the SAME link again. Do you go to where you wanted to go, this second time 'round?
Do you guys get this same result as me (first click, connects to another compilation; second click, connects to what you want) or does it work for you the first time through?
Got something to say?

If you use Lime Wire you might want to reconsider. P2P file sharing is a sure way to get a virus or other little nasty that will fuck up your computer.
Got the same results. Hope that helps you.
You can defeat this *sometimes*. Put your mouse over the image. The status bar on your browser will show the link, e.g. http://www.jizzle.com...url=http://xyz.c…. If you see a link like that, then enter the part of the link starting with the SECOND http://... in your browser address bar and click Go or hit return.
You have posted before about your son's computer skills. That is why I don't understand his attitude toward P2P file sharing.
