So many problems and so little time. Here are some nice solutions to some nasty problems:
(1) Ads- Obtain a program called ATGUARD (or @GUARD). It effectively removes ads and is a great spam filter program too
(3) Speed- Download a browser called Opera (
http://www.operasoftware.com ). It is very very fast, very adaptable and customizable. Graphics mode gives no (zero) ads
(3) The little "smilies" are cute but take up bandwidth. A chat board doesnt need these. It needs writers and words ONLY
(4) Info re "ad-free" ISP at-

I happily use both OPERA and ATGUARD. It is a great combination, I have a full screen, faster throughput, absolutely no (zero) annoying ads and no silly mustard color either
Michael at WebFlyer- I see no good reason for "real time chat etc". Why get into areas the have even more problems.
