What is "the double click two-step?"





Jack boot rap dancing...;)


I thought it was a new country dance move.

This is related to that ad.doublclick/google ad thing right?

Just out of curiosity, for those that it is happening to, assuming that you're not running some type of ad-blocker, are you using Firefox and it's most recent upgrade? I'm just curious because those events seem to coincide and I've given up with the choppy updates to Firefox and gone to Chrome...(which is a pretty fast browser...like wow)...

Anyway, I was thinking maybe the two were related, the Firefox upgrade not handling the ad engines or something.
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh

Make light!

Anyone using cursed with IE8 can go to the lower right corner of the browser, where the lock icon is. Click the arrow beside it and select 'choose content to block'. Click the arrow again and go to 'settings'.

In that window, scroll through the various entries and block anything for 'doubleclick.net' and you should be good.

That doesn't happen to me on my computer but my work computer I have to click twice to go back. That is on anything I do on my work computer.

It seems to have something to do with the Google Ads (Oh, I just freakin' love Google.... not.) Instead of clicking the back button, click on the little down-arrow to the right of the back button (depending on which browser you're using), and select where you want to go back to (skip over the Google Ad crap).

Don't get me wrong - I don't mind seeing advertising on "free" websites since it helps keep the site available, but when it interferes with the functionality or becomes intrusive....

Ok. I'm getting it too. IE (don't ask me which one). I can hear the computer click a couple extra times and have to click the back button that many times to go back. It's handy when I have a lot of catching up to do and don't want to go to the forum and then to the 2nd or 3rd page.

Interestingly, when it is doing it (it did it last night, not this morning, and it's doing it again now) the ad areas all say "Internet Explorer cannot display the page" or "The webpage cannot be found".

I don't know what (if anything) this means, but maybe some of the experts can find this useful.

I am using Firefox and Chrome, but neither have given me the problem to which you are referring to. Perhaps IE is the issue?



You probably have the ad-blocking software on your computer. I dont see the ads in IE8. I've given a few people info on how to block them...

Nobody seems to want to spend 5 mins to fix the problems.

Some of us leave the ads up on purpose. I even click through on them sometimes.
It generates revenue for the site and keeps it going.

I can see the ads again, and the double click is gone (again).

Which is why I dont make a post describing how to do it.

Mine is doing it too. It happened a while back. Someone modified the site. It quit. Now, it's doing it again. I have pop ups blocked. No change.
I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
