Annoying Pop-Under At Sitcomsonline When Using Firefox

[Jack1000]

Greetings,

I want to let everyone know about the wonderful experiences that I have had at sitcomsonline.com. There is certainly a wealth of information on just about any era of TV show imaginable.

However, a problem in Firefox is a pop-under that appears only when going to this site for the first time. A pop-under is a little different than a pop-up, because while a pop-up just shows up, a pop-under waits until you have taken action on a site and than shows up.

At any rate, what happens is that Firefox says it has blocked a pop-up from the site. But when you click on any part of the site, the pop under appears minimized in the Windows Task bar the URL, I have masked for security, replacing the "t"'s with X's to prevent accidental clickage.

The link is:
hxxp;//cdnoptmd.com.

Note that I have the Web of Trust, WOT plug in for Firefox and it gives this banner ad a poor reputation. Also, note that the ad does not even show up in IE8. I submitted a report about this pop-under to Mozilla for them to look at it. If this ad is a sponsor, it really needs to go. Sometimes good companies are being placed in the title of the pop-under ad, like Net Flix. But this pop-under is a dangerous site. For whatever reason, Firefox is not blocking it, but IE is.

Some security leak between Firefox's pop-up blocker is letting this ad get through. Thankfully WOT gives me a notice about the bad ad. but some people might accidentally click on the ad and get infected. Just a heads up.

I am currently using Safari and I still get the Netflix pop-under even though I have pop-up setting turned on.

I wish that they would make the ads stationary or have a setting for each user to turn of the pop-ups and pop unders.

I will try Opera next then IE.
Hey I just noticed that with Safari the Netflix Ad is stationary under the << Previous Thread -Next Thread >> after posting to a thread ?!

This sounds like an issue with Firefox. We only run pop-unders - never any pop-ups. The pop-under cookie is set to display only once every 12 hours. If you are seeing them more often than that, then it's an issue with your computer/browser. Try deleting all cookies and temporary internet files.

As far as letting users disable ads, we may offer that option for people who donate in the future. It's something we are considering.

That's a great/wonderful idea and maybe the more a persons donates the more optiions they have.

You can make the donation last a year with an option of upgrading.

I belong to a few forums who do this very thing and we love the options.

They have monthly, yearly and lifetime subscriptions and IMHO this site will do quite well but that will depend on the cost of the subscriptions.
