Pop-ups?

[Narck]

Huey, thanks, I just installed the program, works like a charm

The popup doesn't show up anymore. But the normal ads aren't showing up either, so I hope that no income is lost because of that.

As soon as I hear that that annoying crappy popup is gone, I will stop using this program, if that is the case.

Narck, I missed your earlier post, sorry. Here it is: www.webwasher.de Don't use it on Apolyton

Hey Huey, thanks for that link. I've just installed it, no banners and NO MORE POPUPS! I only get a script error (should I select some extra settings?) when I access the site but the rest seems to work fine.

However,I will keep webwasher set to also ignore the banner ads on Apolyton as a form of protest.

That is until MarkG and Dan officially announce that those popup banners are gone and will stay gone for good. I don't know if they have any say on this matter. But if they can't do a thing about it I want to hear some good reasons why not.

I think it's time to act like a critical consumer. Sorry, but that's the way it is

Like I said, disable it when you are here Anyway, you will be surprised about how much white space most webpages contain

Perhaps Gamestat or whoever would like to know that javascript can be turned off making that ad a complete waste of time,money and space.

[Narck]

Is there a way to disable the bloody popup but not the banners? I don't mind the banners at all, but the popup really pisses me off...

[DanS]

Yes, these popups are damn annoying. Is this because a bandwidth limit has been reached? Is it time for a different provider?

[Iain Lindley]

Anyone want to help me set up an anti-popup petition...?

[DanS]

Iain: perhaps we should wait until the full story has been told: bandwidth, disk space, script change, etc. Maybe it's outside of Mark and Dan's control for now, but a longer-term arrangement might be possible. Who knows...

Narck, in Webwasher -> standard filter make sure you have only popup windows checked.

[Paul]

By the way, when I use Webwasher I no longer get the newsbox on the forum topics listing. Is there anything I can do to get it back?

[Narck]

edit: was happy too fast... by only clicking the popup thing in webwasher, the popups will still come up.

Get rid of them!

Heck, when one pops up, just minimize it and you won't see anymore of them

[AI]

Mings ideas work, but I hate having too many open windows; it gets too confusing. And it would be a great error if this was to continue and get worse. Besides, it causes more irritation at the advertiser than anything else. Personally I don't give a flying f**k about what is being advertised. Whirlgirl schmirlgirl.

Apolyton can shove that pop up straight up to you know where!
