What's up with the ads?
 
Why does the site have pop up ads for the home page after log in and then the first two posts? After that they go away.
I have pop up blockers set on my computer and don't have issues with any other site.
This just started a on Wednesday on this site.
First the ad pops up on the top of the page(top right) and gets larger than normal. Then if you don't close it quickly, it moves down lower on the screen(center). You have to close the ad before you can do anything on the site.
Anyone else experience this?

Yup. Got to pay for the forum somehow.

Never seen it

if you use firefox (much better than I.E. or any other browser) you wont have any problems.

They are flash popups so you can't block them

I've never seen a popup ad on here.

I bookmarked my user CP page, and usually go in through there anyways.

Using IE btw.

I'm on a Mac with Safari and have never seen a single pop or or flash ad from this site.

You're not seeing things. I was getting the pop-ups last night and this morning. The advertising at the top right seemed to have something to do with them. The ads are gone now on my pages and the pop-ups have stopped.

Whoever fixed it, THANKS! they were killing me on the dial up at home.

cal2az Sep 26, 2008 02:05 PM

Moto Man Sep 26, 2008 02:30 PM

Only certain ads have overlays tied to them. You will see one soon enough.

lazn Sep 26, 2008 03:13 PM

put the site that they come from in your hosts file :P that will stop it.

VTRsurfer Sep 26, 2008 04:59 PM

I've never seen a pop-up here:), but they are quite obnoxious on BikePics now.:mad:

Opps, I'd better knock on wood.

motojoe Sep 29, 2008 08:29 AM

Gone!

Death Cattle Sep 29, 2008 09:23 AM

just use firefox. you wont have any problems. you dont have to install any extra pop-up blockers or any of that shit. firefox takes care of pretty much everything.

RK1 Oct 2, 2008 03:50 AM

I've never seen a pop up on the forum
