-- POPUPS -- please read

[-Jrabbit]

I've been gone since last Friday. when I returned last night, I got a bunch of pop-unders, but none with gator or other installer prompts. This is acceptable.

About 7:30 this morning, I got the same group of 3 waiting "under" after I posted. Two for match.com, one for ancestry.com. Just got them again (with a 4th = another version of ancestry).

Default-extra special, IE 6.0.

I have no (well, less) objection to pop-unders. Less intrusive, advertisers know I'll view them, and shutting them only takes a sec.

DaveV do you allow cookies?

MarkG - yes, cookies enabled. I am auto-logged in when I access the site, so cookies are at least partially working.

I got an ad for PrimaPoker.com , url is http://www.burstnet.com/cgi-bin/ads/...80.43612/3216/

Off-Topic Forum, no other windows opened.

[MarkG]

it will be removed from rotation in the next few hours. but we're puting in some pops with bush and the health care issue

[DaveV]

Even more pop-unders today.

[MarkG]

how many pages did you visit to get them?

[-Jrabbit]

Hmm. Lots of MarkG sightings this week. Off duty?

FWIW, personally, I'd much rather see a poker site than an "issue click"...

Overall, I gotta say this is a big improvement. Pop-unders don't interrupt me. I seem to get them in pairs, usually when I do a search or post. Had one pop-up on top today, but had multiple browsers open, so maybe it just seemed that way.

Anyway -- Kudos, Grand Lord of Apolyton, on finding a reasonably non-invasive ad service.

Mark: Probably very few. I've had a lot today, much more even than before you stopped the lot.

Freudian slip?

Getting a barrage of popups on opening the forums (3-4, no installation prompts). No popups after loading up forums. Default-UltraSpecial-Moo3. Cookies enabled.

Anyway, a big THANK YOU to Mark for telling those walking, festering colostomy bags at Gator where to stuff it.

Has anyone else had pop-ups cause problems for their browser? Specificially the people using AOL.

AOL keeps freezing and crashing because of the pop-ups on Apolyton. This problem just started like 2-3 days ago, it was fine before that.

you got 3-4 popups on a single page?

[Alexander's Horse]

Its probably anonimyser

I also got a slightly strange one in a small blue window, prompting me to install some privacy protection software. Anyone else seen this?
