What's up with the pop-ups?

[Dr Strangelove]

In the past few months this site has become lousy with pop-up adds. Are these guys paying Apolyton for the priviledge of ruining this site, or are they free loaders? If they're paying Apolyton, is the management aware that sometimes the pop-ups bring the site to a stand still? That's my experience. If they're not paying Apolyton can't they be sued for harassment?

Just switch to Ultra-Special... Then you only receive 1 popup a day unless you click on a link...

Apolyton needs the money, but If you are getting 3 popups a day or one everythime you click on a thread (as I was)... Ultra-Special style is reccomended!

OK, I changed my style to "special". That's cut down on the pop-ups tremendously.

lately I haven't been getting any. It comes in cycles maybe. I think I have ultra-special. I used to get 2 upon coming in, but now get none.

Dissident' you can check yoru style by looking in the upper left of the forums main page. Whatefver is shown in the select-box is your current style.

-
You used to get 2 coming in? What page do you enter by? The main page or the main fora page?

-
And if mark or dan is reading this- for some strange reason sometimes I can't access the main page, but I can always access the main fora page? It is very strange... since the apolyton main page is my homepage?

I can't access the main page

what kind of message do you get? your browser?

hi ,

there are two pop-ups that are very annoying , one about the fat reducing pill's and the other one about what show you like the most ( big brother , fear factor , etc ) they tend to be very "hostile" , every time you close the window they are there , even with the cookie cache emptied they keep coming ,

now if someone would buy that stuff or if money would flow to this site true those ads it would be great , but since the overly "pop's" lead to people ignoring it , ..... it shall not be the case , .....

have a nice day
