    The one thing I immediately noticed in the review is that your image popups use javascript. DON'T DO THAT! It makes it impossible to decide where I want the image located. Once I clicked one popup (which worked), none of the others worked. Please fix this.

    intel is really setup to screw many people, with the release of new chipset:) with dual core.

    cant wait for the review to come out. seems like a great board..
    but i think the dolby certified audio is a waste of money.
    majority will plug in their own sound card...
    Nforce 4 Intel Edition too expensive for me..1.3k per board. cut throat :cry:

    Yup, this is a good board and has got potential. But the BIOS is crap at the moment... I hope a new BIOS will be release before I finish testing it.

    Hello DanaG,

    We have been using this script for ages. Never had any problems with it.

    May I know exactly what problem you are referring to? :think:

    erm..abit is notorious for their bad BIOS support..
    actually is bad customer support...

    This is nothing like the NF7 BIOS...The BIOS is buggy and lacking features that they are supposed to support in the first place.

    NF7 is just less refined.

    hehehe, it seems like all companies do have bad stuff once in awhile but we can't let that be the reason to deny a good company that produce good stuff.

    Oh, you are using some kind of adblocker. :think:

    Hmm.. I don't think anyone else is having this problem. What ad blocker are you using? :think:

    I'm using the firefox extension Adblock. (gets rid of those annoying adwords that FREEZE the page while scrolling). Maybe the filter I'm using just picks up the PopWin as an ad. Perhaps you could just rename the popup script.

    The problem is it's manually coded into each and every page. Changing it would mean a lot of work.

    But I will see what the webmaster says about it. Hang on. ;)

    I realized it's not Adblock that's doing it, since I've had the same failures on other sites even simply middle clicking NORMAL links. I uninstalled Tabbbroeser Extension and now it works. So you can save yourself the trouble.

    Now if only Google Adwords and IntelliTXT wouldn't FREEZE page scrolling on mouseover, I could set Adblock to hide (rather than not download) ads.

    Ahhh.. Cool! :thumb:

    Actually, I've tried the site using Firefox as well as Maxthon. The IntelliTXT does not freeze the page on my system. :think:

    Wow, I just tried it again... you're right! I guess I should've heeded the author's warning that
    Adwords are still annoying, but I can live with them to support my favorite site!

    :arp: :arp: :arp:
