wtf- I've never gotten a single pop up on TWW until today... Seen the other threads but never affected me- I am literally getting bombed right now!

it's not tww... it's from all the porn you've been looking at. Comes with the territory.

1/23/2008 10:13:38 AM

1/23/2008 10:47:55 AM

I'm running Firefox- No adblock extension but I don't understand why i have never gotten pop ups here and seldomly get pops anywhere else- and then all of a sudden today- TWW goes crazy-lol- and only TWW

1/23/2008 10:49:09 AM

Both home and work, I run Firefox with essentially the default config, no adblock installed, and I don't get any popups from TWW. In fact, almost the only site I do ever get them from is newsobserver.com, but I've never bothered to do anything about it because that's only one site which will generate exactly one popup (unless you close it, in which case it comes back...)

1/23/2008 10:51:33 AM

i'll set this up for even the laziest of people.

firefox: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-2.0.0.11&os=win&lang=en-US

adblock plus (after firefox): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/file/19510/adblock_plus-0.7.5.3-fx+tb+sm+fl.xpi

filterset.g (after firefox):
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/file/22126/adblock_filterset.g_updater-0.3.1.3-fx+mz+sm.xpi

there you go, 3 clicks. if it asks you which def file you want, use (i think its called) easynews

also, if you must use ie for anything, get IE tab (As mentioned before): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/file/16070/ie_tab-1.3.3.20070528-fx+mz+sm+fl-win.xpi

1/23/2008 10:51:38 AM

i dont get popups on any site except tww

1/23/2008 10:53:43 AM

^ exactly my situation and point---

^^ thanks... I'll bang out the extensions-

1/23/2008 11:03:03 AM

It's punishment to us all for revealing how much the site sold for.

geez... safari FTW. pretty sure i've never had a popup on tww with it.

ur sysadmin needs to do his dang job and administer a bandaid to the bleeding ulcer that is IE and download some Firefox or Safari Beta or Opera or Avant or..

1/23/2008 11:12:33 AM

good thread placement

1/23/2008 12:54:35 PM

popups should be gone.

the problem was that we had not blocked "surveys" when we posted a new ad tag.

it was popping 2x per hour per user, so it wasnt that much. we have now blocked "surveys" and it should not come up agian
