Title: Popups
Post by: hawk_88 on June 11, 2011, 04:43:47 PM
Hi Monty,

I am not sure if you are aware of the popups that some of the ads a producing over the past few days, but it is getting a little annoying. I think the "Cartoonify Yourself" ad that is the main culprit.

Generally these ads companies guarantee no popups but clearly one has slipped through.

Cheers.

I haven't had a single popup and been on FF lots...

Are you sure it's not some unrelated virus you have? lol

Neither have I.
I have popups enabled on FF though because I get notifications when I have new PM/s.

I thought I had set the options on every page not to show pop-ups. If you could tell me which pages that the pop-ups appear on, I'll track it down. I definitely don't want them on FF.

I've got 3 cartoonify yourself on the FF pages ???. Is that what you're talking about?

I did get a pop up before when I came on. Clicked refresh scores and got a pop up (don't know what as I delete straight away).

I've blocked a bunch of those kinds of ads... let me know if others bob up.

Happens on any page those ads show up on.

Firefox blocks most of them and I get notified but sometimes Firefox misses them as popup makers are always looking for ways to trick popup blockers.

Hmm, now those UNE and Air Asia ones don't show up in the system as pop-ups at all. Some funny buggers going on. I shall investigate. :(
