Queso Posted May 27, 2005 Report Posted May 27, 2005 I assume i am the only person with this problem because nobody else has said anything...and i'm guessing it's because i'm on a mac. anyways...every time i visit this page, and every time i go to a thread, or go to any other page that's on this website, a new blank popup comes up.i could surf hypography for 5 minutes and have 30 blank popups!?!?!?! i've never had this problem...did you guys change the settings or something? if it's too much trouble, don't bother. i can live with it.if you don't know why it's doing this, that's ok. i can live with it.if it's an easy solution, FIX IT!!!!!!!!!! does anybody else have this going on?thank you for your time!your beloved floating orb,orb Quote
Queso Posted May 27, 2005 Author Report Posted May 27, 2005 they just stack up. "untitled 1, untitled 2, ....untitled 47....any ideas? Quote
C1ay Posted May 27, 2005 Report Posted May 27, 2005 FWIW, I've been in and out all day and I've only got the 1 popup per 24 hours that's supposed to come up. Have you changed your cookie settings? Tried clearing your cache? It sounds like a problem with your site cookie. Maybe a logout and in will fix it. Quote
GAHD Posted May 27, 2005 Report Posted May 27, 2005 adware scanner? Firewall that pre-processes webpages and removes annoying strings associated with popups? Ya got a few options. Quote
Queso Posted May 27, 2005 Author Report Posted May 27, 2005 yeah i understand that...it's just odd that the 5 months i've been here it's never happened. then all of a sudden i'm getting flanked.i never ever get popups, mac is sexy like that.whatever, just something i'll get used to and forget about.thanks anyways :naughty: Quote
Dark Mind Posted May 27, 2005 Report Posted May 27, 2005 i never ever get popups, mac is sexy like that.That's what pop-up blockers are for. My current browser has blocked a total of 142 pop-ups :naughty:. Quote

Except the popups aren't blank. They are all ads for "Starwars".Every time I change a screen at this site a new one pops up. It'svery annoying but I'm new here and I thought it was supposed to bethis way since that's how it's always been since I started logging in. If I open a new screen in a new tab, which I usually do, then theypop under. As a result, when I'm finished I usually find 15 or 20of them that I have to delete. It would be nice if they came lessoften. Quote

I just got back homeand turned on my machine and the popups are gone! Not a one! Free at last! Free at last! Great God awmighty I'm free at last! Quote
JerryB Posted May 28, 2005 Report Posted May 28, 2005 They're back again! Damitol they're back again!Every time I switch screens another one popsup, like cockroaches. It's depressing. Quote
Tormod Posted May 28, 2005 Report Posted May 28, 2005 This is weird...what browser are you guys using? I have no problems with Firefox on my Mac. I have never seen this issue. The only thing I can think of may be that your browser is blocking cookies from the popup server...but that should not be a Mac only issue. If you're using Safari try Firefox instead and let me know if the problem persists. Quote
Queso Posted May 28, 2005 Author Report Posted May 28, 2005 i just prefer safari. firefox doesn't have the problem. and i figured out the solution so everyting is all good! Quote
JerryB Posted May 28, 2005 Report Posted May 28, 2005 i just prefer safari. firefox doesn't have the problem. and i figured out the solution so everyting is all good!I use and prefer Safari also and if you've figured outthe problem please let me know how. I have to delete at least thirty of those ads everytime I log in. Quote
