Pop-ups?

[Steve Clark]

Sorry, unchecking 'Automatically Load Images' in Edit->Preferences->Advanced is the way I do it, especially for sites that use UGO.

I'm keeping the Proxomitron software available on my drive. But, I set it only to kill pop-ups (and allow a couple privacy options). I see the regular ads just fine, though, and I don't mind those.

Thank you sent.

Nice work lads.

Thank you email is in transit.

[MacUser]

A thank you has been sent. However, I took the opportunity to gripe about the sexist and misogynistic ads that UGO keeps feeding us! Hey, what do you expect from a Cub Scout Leader?

Glad the pop up is gone. I wish that they would send more legitimate ads. Hell, when you look at the Age FAQ, it's obvious that the majority of the ACS users probably have more than a couple of coins to rub together!! Maybe be we'll see Gary Coleman selling a FORD Mustang soon....

</font>As for old newspaper/magazine clippings, we promise to give in 10 years all of our content without the ads to any interested public library. Happy?

Better donate the OT-archives to a University Sociology Dept, it gives a contemporary description of Western kids by Western kids during the late 20th/early 21st century. It will be priceless

I managed to set the Proxomitron to keep the ads on, but kill all OnLoad and OnUnload popups. That works best for me. (I had the ads off for about a month after Black Saturday, as a form of (futile) protest...)

Was it really all that bad?

My teletubbie thread was not to ask about the fate of the pop-ups but to warn about the problems that they were causing to sites that use frames here in Apolyton. The thread was closed without any comment, which leads me to think that whoever closed it did not totally read its content . I post this again because I think this is important, and just to make sure that you have read it.

[MarkG]

well, since the pop-up is gone, the thread has no use

[Beto Benedetti]

Thanks GP (the same applies to you too).
When I read MarkG's reply I was also tempted to ask the same thing but I decided to let it go because, after all, MarkG is right (and the boss )

But it's relieving to read postings like yours from time to time

[datri]

Thanks for getting rid of the popups they wereso anoying.

[DanQ]

Agreed...

Thread closed.

So why not lock this one.

I thought Beto had a good point. And he is a gentleman. Not the type to go starting threads to get blocked.
