Popups in the Fora!!

damunzy · Jun 07, 2002, 04:13 AM

Thereeeeee Baaaaaack!!!

Please stop them TF!!!

You have the ear of the TeleFragged gods!!! Make them listen to our plea!!

They don't popup too often, but once is more than enough.

Hey, anyone notice that Thunderfall and TeleFragged both abbreviate to TF???? Conspiracy?!??!?

Dell19 · Jun 07, 2002, 04:16 AM

Really I have not seen any...

damunzy · Jun 07, 2002, 04:18 AM

I have seen a few, and no I don't have any other browsers open besides work ones and they for sure don
t have popups.

starlifter · Jun 07, 2002, 04:57 AM

I run At Guard 3.22 (over 2 years old) all the time, and I have never seen a popup at CFC, but remember last year when people were complaining about them. I also have a solid white rectangular box at the bottom of some pages, which I presume is where an ad banner goes. Long live freedom of choice...

Dell19 · Jun 07, 2002, 06:30 AM

I still have not seen any pop ups...

Black Fluffy Lion · Jun 07, 2002, 08:52 AM

what are the odds ph is hallucinating again

Thunderfall · Jun 07, 2002, 09:05 AM

I haven't seen any also. Maybe those popups are from some adware programs on PH's computer. Time to run AdAware PH...

AVN · Jun 07, 2002, 09:11 AM

Isn't PH talking about the pop-ups you get when receiving a PM ??
I thought he wanted these pop-ups.

Lovro · Jun 07, 2002, 10:28 AM

No, I don't think he was talking about the PM popups. More probably the ads people were complaining about a while ago...

TedG · Jun 07, 2002, 07:38 PM

I sure hope they don't start putting pop-ups here. They'd be especially annoying because they usually load when a page is loaded, and browsing the forums requires lots of pages being loaded - meaning more annoying pop-ups. The ones on the main page are more than enough; we don't need any more!

King of Camelot · Jun 07, 2002, 09:25 PM

Don't worry PH! I see them too....I think...wait, what are we talking about again?

This is a work computer. I need to keep from loading as much crap on it as I do my home computer. The only thing that could have been causing it was CFC...but as I said, it didn't happen often....maybe at that time the UG guys or the ad guys where messing around...

Zwelgje · Jun 07, 2002, 11:57 PM

Haven't seen them either......yet.

Luckily I have a good popup killer so any popup will die a swift dead.

Ankka · Jun 08, 2002, 07:40 AM

I've always (almost) got a popup window when I go to the main page, if this is what you are talking about...

No, the main site has had pop-ups for quite awhile, but the actual forums have been pop-up free for quite some time.

Were checking to see if PH just bumped his head because no one else has seen pop-ups in the forums.

germanos · Jun 08, 2002, 08:16 AM

I have seen one for sure !!!!

Black Fluffy Lion · Jun 08, 2002, 08:57 AM

I think I saw one this morning...shock shock horror horror maybe he wasn't hallucinating

Duke of Marlbrough · Jun 08, 2002, 09:03 AM

I just got one right now.
