Yep! I just checked again and it's Ghostery that is blocking 5 tracking scripts. Since I have no interest in unblocking them and being tracked, I guess I won't see that. *!greengrin!*

Not that I care, nothing to worry about. They are so confused that 2 weeks after coming back from Eastern Europe I still get Polish ads :D

No big deal to me though. I really don't much care about going to that site.

Could be an interesting blog though. The future will tell.

I think I figured it out. It's cookies. *!greengrin!* I blocked them in Opera but then I tried in IE 8 and saw the posts because I didn't block cookies in IE.
I block 99% of the cookies in Firefox and Opera, but not in IE because I never use it. *!!wink!!*

Don't forget they can still track you, unless you have a really dynamic IP address.

No! I have a static IP, but I also have NoScript & AdBlock installed, plus I have Firefox set to clear out it's cache every time I close it, plus I run CCleaner almost every day, and I don't have Flash installed so I don't have to worry about Flash's super cookies.
Also, I tend to avoid sites like RS.com's new site, and Facebook, all those other Social Media garbage sites.

Sure, I can still be tracked via my IP address, but not as much as most folks.

Well, I guess this new Blog is ok if RSC is looking only for pleasantries. I guess us old farts here in the Forums just expect to much and post what we think just a little to often. Better if ya don't know whats in the Soylent Green. I'll have to stay away from there, lest I get banned from Farcebook... Wait... Uhh, ill be back in a few minutes........ !*YAAA*!

Haha, well said Jerry, hoewever, having spent over a thousand dollars on DLC in the last 3 years, plus a new computer to run the game on, I think I'm entitled to moan, it's what us Brits are very good at, apparently, especially, us old farts... !*roll-laugh*!
