Pop-ups

TeriB19 · 09-22-2002, 12:55 PM

Steve, I don't know about the rest of us, but I am being inundated with POP-UP ads the whole time I am posting to this new bb. Am I the only one? And if not, how can we avoid this? It's really annoying. Damn there's another one for a casino.

I haven't seen any pop-up ads yet and I hope I don't.

TeriB19 · 09-22-2002, 01:07 PM

Ok, now I'm back on the site after a brief interruption from my kids, and now NO pop-ups. Before I found out that the avatars are yet to come, I was on the site where I get my avatars, and it's very possible that the pop-ups were coming from there. I apologize for thinking Steve would allow us to have to endure pop-ups.

Steve · 09-22-2002, 01:21 PM

Nope not my popups

If I did have a popup, it'd be something Creed related like "CREED IS COMING TO YOUR HOUSE RIGHT NOW" or something like that... something very important

TeriB19 · 09-22-2002, 01:23 PM

Now see, that's one pop-up I would not close out. I would be calling whatever number it gave me to find out if Creed had correct directions to my house.

Hey dogstar, cool avatar!!I'm glad you got it figured out!!!

Teri, you need Ad-Aware.

TeriB19 · 09-22-2002, 03:07 PM

Can you be of assistance? If so, PM me, please.

GoodGodGirl23 · 09-22-2002, 04:02 PM

Hey jango, I use whats called 'Proxomitron"... that stops pop-ups...

The only problem I've had with programs like those is that whenever a pop up ad goes to pop up, that program pops up with it and asks me if I'd like to close the pop up...

So essentially, I have to close two pop ups. The pop ups that were giving Teri trouble were caused by Spyware.

none here

Steve · 09-23-2002, 06:54 PM

Use the browser, Mozilla. It has a built in feature to prevent popups from opening!

www.mozilla.org is the url i think
