Pop Ups

[Grunt]

Anyone know why these pop ups keep coming "every" time I log on, and continue.

My pop up blockers are on. Don't get these anywhere except CoachT.

Are they popping up when you come on to the main site, or the boards, or both?

They pop up when I first come to the site, and then occasionally when I am surfing through the boards.

They pop up when I first get to the site, and not as often while I am on the boards. It is beginning to get annoying.

I'm looking at ways to do away with them but fans have to realize that I hate popups and run them for one reason only- they pay 5 to 10 times more than the other ads you see and it is nice to be able to pay the server and bandwidth costs at the end of the month and still have a little left over. In other words, I don't use popups (actually, they are pop unders) because I want to.

Use Firefox and you won't get a single pop-up.

Mostly on the boards, for me, had two this am.

 

#1 was http://a.tribalfusion.com (Where are your old friends now?) 10:45AM

this is the more prevalent one, and is a pop under; behind the current page.

 

#2 was http:/ www.toptvbytes.com/index.aspx?pid=10011

 

#3 is a pop up that appears in front of the page; practically impossible to remove.( Edited to add:

Description of pop up; Attention - Participation Required / Congratulations / Your banner ID #

335192 - you are qualified for hourly prize.... recieve new Apple IPod Nano.

If I try to exit w/ X or No, it opens up the website. This is on the main page..

 

Additionally, one of them locked my pc up this am. had to restart browser.

 

I am also using Firefox, but does not stop the pops. Only site it will not block.

 

CoachT, I understand about paying the bills; if that is necessary, then ok by me, as long

as they are behind the page, but the one in front is a problem.

It is understandable coach...you got to pay the bills to keep this site up and running, without raising the member ship prices.
