I've recently noticed that TexAgs has started displaying streaming video ads, rather than just picture ads. As a result, I've had issues with my computer, browser and flash player locking up until TexAgs is closed. I'm going to have to check TA sparingly until this is resolved.

Sorry for the trouble. I am working with our ad provider to block all video ads. I hope to have something implemented soon.

I don't want to be an a-hole about this, but this has been going on for over two months. I can't even use Chrome for TexAgs anymore. And it frequently pauses on Explorer also.

Please, please, please get the taken care of.

Any idea what video ad is playing before your browser crashes?

I have run Texags on Chrome for the last two hours. No freezing and no spooling up from the CPU. I have not noticed any video ads.

I am cautiously optimistic.

Since my last post on 6-29 until today, I have had no issues.

This morning, freezing and CPU spool up several times. Although not as bad as before.

Did not notice any streaming ads. Nothing different except the ads driven by my previous searches on other websites. I don't know the term for those.
