sb 4.75

hi all

as everyone here at wilders and on the sb forum have been so helpfull to me i though i would see if i could give a lil back so id like to run an idea by you all

iv been downloading and compliling verious host file lists from here and there and adding them to my host list in sb 4.75 and i was wonderin if all thoughs out there that are using sb 4.75 still would like me to post what i have so far so that thay can add them to there host file to

also does anyone know where i can download a few more host files so that i can expand my host file ferther

 

Bethrezen - It might be better to let people PM you if they'd like a copy of your expanded 'hosts' file (it's probably too big to add here as a post).

I've found that simply adding S.Martin's hosts file to the SB 4.75 through Hostess is pretty sufficient, and running E. Howes IE_SPYAD list if you're using IE works well.

You have to be careful with just getting your hosts from anywhere (some people have agendas) - it can cause problems with accessing sites you really want/need to go to. Pete

 

Although new SB versions keep adding to the hostfile, i agree with Pete thatfor SB 4.75, by using S.Martin host file with Hostess, it is unlikely you will find any more then possibly just a few entries to add to it .

 

I wonder why Paul doesn't just incorporate S Martin's HOSTS file to start with? As an option at least?

 

Hey, Mike! Just noticed you got yourself a fancy title!

Jealous!

Grr!!

 

i take ya point about bein careful where ya get ya host files from as people have agendas and i am carefull about this

how ever what i was more thinkin was along the lines of when i made this post was leeting people that are still using sb 4.75 like me have access to the updated host file from sb 5.3 coz i saw a few requests for this when sb 5 came out and i did ask about this at the time but i was told that it would not be considered as 4.75 was no longer surported so i though i would try and help out by doing it my self

whats the adress for S.Martin host file so i can add this to my list to so i will know that what im adding to my host file comes from a reputable sorse as i dont want to inadverntley cause anyone any trouble
