No more popup ads on the main site

[Thunderfall]

Good news! We removed the annoying popup ads from the main site last week, and I am happy to say that they are not coming back, ever!!! The entire CivFanatics site is now officially free of popup ads.

So if you see a popup ad anywhere on the site, report it in Site Feedback forum.

We do plan to add a 120x600 tower ad to the main site, but this will just be a banner ad and should be much much less annoying than popup ads.

Thanks for your support!

If anyone still doesn't have a popup blocker, they seriously need to upgrade their browser. Old browsers have security problems that are much worse than popup ads.

Firefox was letting the popup in for me until recently. Yes, I had the popup blocker enabled.

When I logged in this morning the takeover page popped up like it always used to but didn't have an ad in it. I had to click the link to continue in to CivFanatics.

Is the 24hr takeover also supposed to be gone? If not, it's not functioning normally. If so, it's still there.

AFAIK, we're keeping that ad. I just had it pop up, and it was working as intended. Ad for the From Russia With Love game.

I think it's working normally. Sometimes the ad doesn't show up but that's the ad server's fault...
