Pistonheads popup advert.

[shangani]

A more annoying way to advertise on a website, I have never seen. Are you also all getting this advert that pops op in the middle of the screen every time you load up the forum?

I realise websites need to pay the bills, but this is driving me nuts. I keep getting an error on page and have to reload the page. Then as a result, have to watch it all again.

Sorry, just another random comment from me.

Dunlop racing academy advert. I directly bookmarked the lotus forum and it pops up every time. Doesn't do it on any other website, hence why I asked.

Thanks - clearly an issue for some then.

Never seen it.

I've got pop up windows blocked, they are just too annoying.

Could not agree more, this has also been driving me mad, glad I'm not the only one.

Nope not on PH but a lot on other carrelated websites though...very iritating it is! even on some when you push the X button it opens in that marketing advertisement aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, but then I think...ok I can see this all for free...so I take it but I don't like it.

I'm afraid pistonheads prompted me to install firefox with popup blocker installed well over a year ago. Can't stand them. It's like someone walking in from of the tv in the middle of a program you are watching trying to sell you a sodding vauxhall.

On the plus side, his other ads appear ok, so alls fair in love and war.

Perfect answer: get a browser like Firefox or Avant Browser with built in pop-up blockers. Works a treat for me!


edit to correct punctuation - my English teacher would be so proud!

Google toolbar contains a pop-up blocker - takes about two minutes and you don't need to go to the site to do searches anymore

Also windows XP contains a pop up blocker, I have that always on...maybe thats why I don't have that always...;D look under Extra on your pc(XP) then go to internet options, then privacy, then on the bottum you see popup block...clik that on V, and there you have it not that much pop ups anymore!

I get this pop up too, even though I've got the pop up blocker on (XP Explorer) at the highest setting and, yes it annoys me too. I may clear out my cookie jar to see if I still get it after cuse I can't see why I get it with my block on!

I would not give any company my custom who use this type of advert, so I get satisfaction knowing that, they may know that too, (hopefully read this). Your pop up's are really annoying and down right intrusive on my PERSONAL computer. I'd like to put some pop ups on yours!

You'll need one of these then...

Would agree it's a teed but if it keeps this forum alive with funds for Ted then it's a neccessary evil I guess.

As Dan noted, get Firefox installed - much better browser anyway.

[shangani]

I use firefox and still get the popup.

You want the bloody moon on a stick you, don'tcha pal! Are all the options set to block pop-ups?
