Pop-up Ads getting really annoying.

[redstoner]

I'm getting really tired of all the pop-up ads on this site. Every time I navigate to a new page, one pops up. That ad that is only supposed to show up once every 24 hours shows up all the time. Since I cannot install a pop-up blocker on my work computer, I'm gonna have to limit my time on this site. Besides, I think pop-up ads should be banned anyway.:rant:

Read how many people have had their lives changed for the better by that thread.

And this belongs in Site Feedback.

A lot of pop up ads? I count two and I've been here since 2:30.

Two is still too many.

If you must use IE, then go here and install the google toolbar. Pop-ups will be a thing of the past.

You dont have share in the company do you?

 

[anarchywrksbest]

It's not a company. That's the point, it is made by people who use the internet and meets the demands of those people. And if you want to then you can download the code and make modifications, that way Firebird can continually adapt to changes.

It's groovy.

Opera even blocks the takeover ads.

 

[anarchywrksbest]

So does Firebird... and so much more.

Freeware and open-source is the way to the future. Get rid of your filthy CAPITALISTIC browsers.

The Google Toolbar blocks pop ads too

[anarchywrksbest]

I did read. But unless he talks to his network admin about it then there's nothing much he can do about it at work.

Get a pop-up blocker like i have, i don't get any adds, anywhere. With the exception of the one 24-hour ad that comes up on CFC

 

[The Chosen One]

btw, the blocker i have is called "EMS Free Surfer mk II" works great

 

[Civrules]

I get no popups now. I got a pretty good popup blocker. But when I did get them, I got two at the most.

 

[bobgote]

should be able to install google bar i think, doubt that'd be a problem.

 

[Comraddict]

Ok who wants to pay for using CFC? That is only way to get no ads.

 

[Dell19]

Did you not read the rest of the thread? hmmm?

 

[Comraddict]

who? me? what is source of problem? funding of CFC.

The thing is that people have posted how it is possible to avoid adverts yet your post seemed to ignore this. If we were to pay then we would have to pay for something and this would probably be custom avators. However this wouldn't force enough people to pay so eventually more and more things would only be available if you paid (worst case scenario).
