there shouldn't be any popups, just banners on the top/bottom for non premium. if there are popups, please let me know the ad and i will yell at our ad company and take care of them.

they aren't pop-up's. they are those kind that if you accidentally scroll over they expand and take up half the screen.


I do not care about GMC Sierras! maybe a month ago yes, but i just bought a new truck.

and as for flat panel tv's. i will not be buying from circuit city now.


thanks nael you iranny spy

hijack my nutz

lol, i should just fork over the lincoln and go premie. i dont know why i haven't yet. I'm on here everyday at work and with premie i could chat with my friends (put your names here)...



^yeah that happens b/c your mouse is in their popup area when they first load, like when clicking reply and when it loads it recognizes that and pops up. and if you're like me and hit enter at some point you get sent to bon jovi.com

no hurry nael, i personally prefer having corporations tell me what i need to buy as it takes thinking out of the equation for me, which is always a good thing

just got off the phone with the ad company.

told them that we never want to have another set of ads that have rollover like that. they said it could take a few hours to get the current ads out of the system, but after that, we should be good to go.

sorry for the hassle.

^^haha, nope, we use a third party ad company. the idea is that we never have to deal with ads, but as you see today, it doesnt always work that way.

i haven't seen anything since the first thread about popups.

i guess that's adblock. 3rd party ad company must be on my filterset already.

yea, that was the original goal, but then we found out that we had much more fun running sites than actually selling ads...

Because you haven't used flashblock, adblock, or used one of the hosts files listed at the bottom of this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_file

If you all did that you would not be seeing any of that shit any more, lol.

That's true!

You can't rely on people for anything these days though, plus you'll basically disable advertisements for every website in existence if you use the tools I mentioned.

My programs are plugins for mozilla firefox, and the hosts file is integrated into windows so it doesn't really slow anything down. ;D

It's cool, somebody else will use it and sacrifice a goat in my honor.
