I got nailed by at least 4 pop-up ads(PS2 give-away, free pizza, Christine what's her name, etc) here today, is this the future of this place???? If so count me out.

Are you trying to say that "efront" is effrontery?

I won't say much here folks...all I"ll say is that if I have my way in the next week over "things", they will change within 10 days to no more pop-ups.

Do not try to guess what I'm talking about, and please don't mention it in this thead. Just read my post and act like it never happened and things will go much easier in terms of pop-ups.

Hello glc,

depends on the pizza you want. The available pizzas here start with the basic Margherita one (tomatoe, cheese) to more complex ones.
My favourite one is the pizza salami, which contains salami, bacon, cheese, tomatoes and champignones. Really great pizza
The hawaii one is similar to the salami one, but has pineaple on it, and mostly without the bacon.
Also there are pizzas with up to 4 different kind of cheese.

Besides of that there are vegetarian pizzas only with vegetables on it, but I don't like them so much.
Real pizza has to be like the salami one

RJ

I guess you could call pepperoni "Heiße" salami. Pepperoni and Italian Sausage ar probably the most popular here in the US.

Probably a cool program but you have to pay for it after 10 days.

The last anti-pop-up( is that a real word???) program I tried made the forum look and act really weird and wouldn't let me in some areas, I don't know if this one is any better. So for me it's the no pop-up route via the forum itself.

If someone(who setup those pop-ups) thinks that PC Mech Forum users clickin' on any ad or on any pop-up, then he must be an idiot.

I find that the easiest thing to do is leave it open in the background. That way I only have to close it once, after I am done looking around, and it never "pops" back into the front.
