Popups increased today?
Discussion
Appreciate these are a revenue earner (I read the FAQ), but today the amount I'm getting is ridiculous.
Putting a blocker on is all well and good, but other web sites actually use pop ups for functionality so it gets to be a right pain remembering to turn it on and off.
Understand I'm being a bit whiney, but can't some alternatives be used to stop them being necessary? I'm cool with ads on the posting pages, and would even be happy to have some form of subscription model put in place to get rid of pop ups!
The ones today aren't even relevant to anything I'd be likely to buy (advertising adverts of all things).

I'm getting them on every click, even clicking to post. williamball said:
Weird.
Do you have third party cookies enabled?
Cookies are on 'ask'. PH 'should' be OK I'm guessing as I don't think I blocked it...plus it remembers me
Still a pain though, and still popping up on every page change/refresh

The cookie that limits the number of displays won't be a PistonHeads cookie. It will be a third party cookie from someboy like Realmedia as the delivery isn't controlled by my ad server.
Sorry Ted, looks like I started something
My laptop died on Sunday with HDD failure. Don't think it was pop up related, but has stopped me spending time on here.
They were definitely coming up with every click more or less (neil.b has good taste, I have a similar set up, or did until the HDD failure which should be sorted this week).
To be honest, I only casually glanced at the pop ups, but it looked like adverts for an advertising agency. That said, it could have been some "clever" ad campaign by Seat that was obviously too clever for its own good.
Just a thought, but perhaps a subscription model could be implemented that simply blocks pop ups (and other user selectable) ads if the user is tagged as a paid up member? IE you don't have to subscribe, but if you don't, you get blitzed with ads (nice cars as they are, can't see me ever buying a Seat).
It would sound from the above that a number of people might stump up. I know for one I don't mind paying for sites that I have a laugh with and/or get useful info from (both applying with PH).

I'm getting a SEAT cars popup with every single page load, Ted.
Me too. In fact just got yet another when making this post!
Tried leaving them to load fully but makes no difference. Also have cookies enabled so that isn't helping either.
These things are now seriously pissing me off. Please do something about it Ted.
