Re: Driving me Nucken Futs .

There is always a way. Or two....
1] don't mouse-over them - they are pretty obvious to see. Usually.
2]because they use javascript, disable that in your browser. But you might miss it.
That is about it. Try not to use your pointer as a reading aid, books n newspapers don't have em.... if the mouse-over is very brief they should not respond.

Re: Driving me Nucken Futs .

Hiya, caperjack.... yeah, they can be a pest, I will admit, especially if you're using the copy function. Amazing how often the selection you want ends on one of those critters.
I use FF also, look under tools, options, content tab, javascript check box [not java...], but you knew where it was, didn't you?... too late, I posted already.
Newspapers are a conspiracy to get us interested in stuff that normally would not bother us - this is a big world, they try desperately to make it like it 's all just down the road a bit. I just cannot get involved in a bus falling off a cliff in Nicaragua....
Books? there is another world in books....

Re: Driving me Nucken Futs .

This forum should be easy.
control panel > edit option > disable intellitext

For other you may need to disable javascript. But that may have bad affect on navigation.
