What's up with the popups??? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Nanny Fine · 05-29-2003, 10:29 PM

Why am I getting pop ups now on this board?

They slow my already ancient computer down like mad.

-*Leah*- · 05-29-2003, 10:34 PM

Yeah. I noticed that too. There are hardly ever any pop-ups on here, but today there is one coming up ever 2 minutes.

Crimson and Clover · 05-29-2003, 10:35 PM

i havent been getting any popups

Kitt · 05-29-2003, 10:38 PM

I'm getting them too. I despise those things.

pandora_spocks · 05-29-2003, 10:39 PM

What pop-ups? Maybe you should download Pop-Up Stopper thats what I use.

I downloaded spybot a month ago. It works well. I hit 'update. just now. One thing was added and so far no more popups since I got back on here.

Brian · 05-29-2003, 10:47 PM

I have seen no popups whatsoever. But maybe that's because I have something that blocks popups.

If there are it's probably the first time in over a year maybe a year and a half since TJ put in pop-ups.

Czas na Zywiec · 05-29-2003, 10:52 PM

I haven't gotten a single pop-up from here (Minus that one night) ever since I put Chit Chat in my favorites. Other than that, I usually get one when I go to the SO main page, (It's always one for E-Bay), but that's it. And I don't use any blockers at all.

*InThisMoment* · 05-29-2003, 10:58 PM

i had them for a min. but they stopped now.

Kitt · 05-29-2003, 10:58 PM

I didn't use to get popups at all on any site. Then, all of a sudden, I started getting them like crazy. I don't know why. What I don't get is if they can find me and try to sell me stuff, why can't they figure out that I never buy any of their stuff? Then they could just give up on me and quit blowing their time or whatever on me. Hope springs eternal.

BrandonS · 05-29-2003, 11:00 PM

I'm getting lots of them. What a pain. If this continues, it won't be good for membership.

Tuesday Weld · 05-29-2003, 11:00 PM

I have pop-ups blocked.

Nanny Fine · 05-29-2003, 11:30 PM

Dammit every time I load this page I'm getting popups.

I'll not be able to come to the boards if they keep it up, my computer can't take it. I can't download the pop up stopper things because I dont have enough hard drive room AND my computer is too old to handle that stuff.

I hate popups.

Spybot is good though its better for getting rid of spyware, dialers, etc....

I haven't noticed any, then again Im on AOL 8.0 which has a popup blocker built in...

Kitt · 05-29-2003, 11:58 PM

I'll check out a popup blocker aside from spybot if that will keep them out even better.

To Nanny fine: Spybot took up 5.24 mb which isn't very much. But what also happened when I downloaded it is it got rid of spyware that I didn't know was in my comuputer. I net gained .13 gb of disc space. So you might try that or some other thing people have mentioned in this thread. Maybe you'll gain disc space like I did.
