Whats with all of the popups?

[Brundlefly]

I have logged into apolyton from two different locations the past few days and I get a lot of javascript popups everytime i switch pages. Is this some sort of attempt to get me to sign up for apolyton plus?!

Get a plus account if you don't like it. Otherwise, be thankful that poly exists and suck it up.

Change to light style.

Been seeing quite a lot of this one lately.:

NEVER press "Cancel" (or whatever else in that window) on that one.

That's a nasty looking one. If more people post they have seen it and the relevant info Mark and Dan can stop it.

Hmm, on the laptop I usually browse Apolyton (which allows ads on Apolyton) I get few ads. But now I'm browsing with a computer that blocks the ads, and I get flooded with two of them on every page I open.

I can vouch that it bypasses Firefox's otherwise excellent popup blocker script.

By the lack of response from the owners, I guess this is an attempt to "encourage" more people to sign up for Plus. The popups are really bad today..

I'm already using light-style, Skanky.

A bad assumption and a totally unfair comment to make ... The owners have shown a STRONG willingness in the past to get rid of the real obnoxious pop ups. Dan and Markos just haven't seen this thread yet.

The ones I usually get are adds for entrepenuer.com and something about taking a pepsi taste test..

Yeah, I know the owners are cool, Ming. I just get impatient sometimes.. I take back the sarcastic comments....

NP... The owners have been very busy lately, and I just wanted to make some response until they do have a chance to look into it

IIRC they wuill want the URL of the adds to heklp them identify and block the culprit. It might be useful posting that before they see this thread.

Good call... and obviously somebody who is familiar with their normal response to threads like this
