Pop-Up ads?
 
Starting just today, every so often I've been getting pop-up ads when I click on the forum. I checked my computer for spyware with ad-aware and cleaned that out but just got another couple from Cingular. Is anyone else getting these?

Yeah, I just got it too.

Let me answer for twikoff to save him a couple of seconds...No, he didn't get it.

The pop-up ads seem to be coming up intermittently. Hmm..

Pop-up ads is their way of "self expression"

If it is a DVDTalk advertiser, it wouldn't be bad as a banner ad. But, pop-ups suck. :mad:

actually.. I am getting them -ptth-

I dont mind the occasional popup, if it helps keep the otter farm running
but it seems like Im getting them constantly now.

Iron Chef 02-20-02 08:53 AM

I just got one too. :(

Venusian 02-20-02 09:23 AM

Yeah.. whenever this ad is displayed, the popup in WhoGirl's post accompanies it.

As stated above, it's annoying, but if it helps DVDTalk survive, i'll live with it.. :D

RDYoung 02-20-02 09:38 AM

Just got one too. Shocked the heck out of me...

Seeker 02-20-02 11:11 AM

I see this is already being talked about. Yeah, I got a pop up as well....

yuck.

JCJF10 02-20-02 03:01 PM

I too don't mind it if it supports our lovely community :up:
but I had 4 of them lined up when I forgot to close them for a few minutes. :(

JCJF10 02-20-02 03:18 PM

:lol: @ DTSC's other pop-up thread!

Can't imagine they like personal attacks on advertisers. :whofart:

GeoffK 02-20-02 04:03 PM

Grrrr. These aren't supposed to run on our site. I'm sure they're coming from one of the ad networks.

Will look in to it
