Give me a break

While I realize that this site is paid for by advertisement, come on can you guys atleast try to do a better job at hiding your popups.

For those of you that have no idea what I am talking about, switch between a forum, or just simply refresh a couple of times. There will be a pop-up window, that opens, and then closes. Why do I have a really really big feeling that, that window, is from an advertiser?

Come on, that is just a crappy job at trying to hide them, better than the annoying ass ones, that asked me to fill out a server, but not that good of an attempt.

Why is that an issue when we have ads in the middle/top-right area of the site. The new blue colored scrollbar and logo looks like crap. Thread AP is lame, you people put it up there and made it stick out and look ugly on top of threads because you realise what a stupid idea it is... but its kept around just for shits and giggles.

What browser..
HAve you an Enabled Popup Blocker

Have you cleared your Cache and Java Cache (if useing FF), TIF and Cookies if useing IE

TheSpecialist:
What adds on AO.. :o ??? (I have a Hosts File that blocks most of the Adds that Jup use :D ) havent seen any for a while :)

I haven't seen any pop-ups all day... sure it's not on your end?

I've never seen any

I am positive it's not on my in, I actually don't use my Pop-up blocker unless, I feel that I am going to be over run. (I have my reasons.)


Second, I am positive it is not on my end because, I commonly log in, from several different terminals.

Oh well.

Your right whizkid2300 there are pop-unders in this site, yet I dont get the windows to pop up on me, this could be an connection speed, meaning if you have cable or something faster the popup is loading faster than the site can shut it down. I do monitor every site that is downloaded and among them is ad.whatever.com that shows its nasty self. This doesnt bug me for the fact I dont have to pay for this site. I also dont run IE instead I use firefox, this will cut down on the problems IE have

Hey got to pay the bills somehow.

/me never gets pop-ups with Mozilla Firefox and it's pop-up blocker :D

Firefox did just inform me that it blocked a popup from AO, this is the first time it has ever said that

I've never gotten any kind of "report" of a pop-up. Instead, I just don't see pop-up's and I go on my merry way :)

Can't see any popups here, only the banner at the top

I have never had popups before but have had 2 been blocked today

I never get any popups at all...

But if and when im on XP... and I've just noticed that if I use IE on this computer then I'll have rare occasions which IE will make a beeping sound as if it's wanting to notify me that something has been blocked when I come across those black colored pages that redirect you to threads or the main area of the site. I think this is what your talking about? But still no popups though.

I caught me a pop up...

It beat the FF blocker, if I wasn't off to class, I'd check out the source.

We occasionally run feedback surveys for use by Jupm, not sure if that's one of those or not. As I mentioned in another thread today, I have no control over ads served on this site; I can't do anything about their form or content. If you run into one of these popups, just close the window and get on with your day.
