E-Bay Pop-up Ad Window ...

[kengel]

I agree, DanQ. Please, can you offer a concrete adress to email UGO? We (the users) should send our flames to them if they don't believe that one single advertiser (ebay) will cause traffic loss to themselves and ALL (future and present) other advertisers.

I discovered that the correct email address to complain to ebay is support@ebay.com

[Narck]

Tell me, why did you consider it necessary to circumvent the censor?

[Gibsie]

To get the point over about how annoying the ads are. Next time though, I shall refer to them as "fluffy" to express my anger.

You're bringing your point over to the wrong people though. Complain to ebay. It's what I'm doing.

In fact, I just received an email back from ebay support in which they asked for examples when the ad popped up. I passed along Apolyton's URL. Let's see what they say.

Previously, only one pop-up window would appear when I came to Apolyton- now a new one appears for every single fucking thread that I look at. What's going on?!

I have long since turned of my java- therby avoiding the worst of these annoying adds. The worst part of the add situation is that I have migranes and the flashing adds hurt my eyes....So I tend to avoid sites with annoying adds.

I must also say I wouldn't care about any non-pop-up banner, unless it's frames change too fast, hurting my eyes, but pop-ups are annoying.

i think the display frequency has decreased over the last few hours....

What doesn't still prevent it from popping on for each window.

I thought the pop-up was alright until I got an optical mouse (with web browsing features). I'm not sure if the ebay add is what is doing it but my browser crashes when I visit apolyton AFAIK when the popup is there. This is a pain in the ass. Needless to say it will cut down on the time I spend on Apolyton.

When I logged on a few minutes ago, the ebay ad did not appear! Please tell me they have removed it! That thing screwed up my browsing here SO much.

Hey! How did he get a hyperlink in his location? It's not fair waaaaaah!

It's gone people. Dead. Finito. Morte. Kaput. Move along!
