I hate to complain, but I guess this didn't hold true....

How much money does this type of campaign raise for you anyhow, if I may ask? (ie: how much in donations do you need to tell your advertiser to shove it?)

Movie Man - The pop-up ads were a mandatory part of the campaign. In general we don't sell them unless the entire ad deal hinges on it. And again with this one... it did.

Working fine for me. I did have 3 in a row with new windows being opened though, not 1 every 15mins. I followed the giveaway link from the email, that opened #1. Then entered the giveaway and got #2, and then clicked on Home and got #3. No big deal, I didn't really care about it, but thought you might want to know if someone else says something about it.

I've been getting ActiveX errors on one of my computers at work since you started running these popups. Every time I look at a page with a banner on it it gives me an error and I have to hit OK to continue.
Irritating.

Go into the security settings of IE and allow ActiveX controls that are not marked as safe to run. You might have to allow them to download too.
I wouldn't, I'd rather get the message. But that's how you "fix" it.

I was going to post about this
but since they're supposed to keep coming up my question is answered. I was hoping it was supposed to be a once per session thing that was messed up, but unfortunately its not
oh well, I understand there are bills to pay

I usually just Ctrl-W popups so fast that they don't even have time to load but the Insomnia ones were getting to be a bit much. I set my Pop-up Killer to nail them; makes a nice ray-gun zapping sound. Very satisfying...
Truth is, I'd rather have pop-ups than no DVD Talk.
