Pop up ads in Forums?

Is this new? Boy is it enjoyable. Especially with practically naked women in the popups. I wonder if I can time it so they come up when my boss comes over to my desk.

Should you even be browsing CFC at work?

I do at school so that could be a problem

My boss has seen it. I mainly try to read and do some posting when I am doing work that does not require visual attention. (that should tell you a little about my job, eh?) But that particular popup ain't cool.

Just get the Google search toolbar from google http://www.google.com . I haven't had a single popup on this site since I installed it and it's popup blocker still allows the "close me" types but nothing's perfect (except Perfection)

Pop ups? Now children, gather around and let me tell you about the distant past when we had pop-ups. It was before everybody converted to Nerscape, and oh, how sad were those people

I've had a few, but they've been little small pop-ups (maybe and inch at the most). Though I no longer get them on the main forum anymore. So I'm happy.

It may not be directly linked to the forum page. Occaionally when I visit my university web page (which DEFINITELY does not have ads!) I get a handful of pop-ups. I think it has something to do with the cookies in your browser. I found increasing the security level (to "Do not accept 3rd party cookies") took out a good number of them. I'll have to clean out my cookie folder later.

We have no popup code in the forums nor will there ever be. So with that in mind, please post a screenshot of the popup and the 728 banner at the bottom of the page that carries it. Somebody is gonna feel my "boom" stick.

Best quote ever.



floppa21 check for spyware. It sounds very much like it.

I recall we had a similar thread a short while ago.
