whats up with the ad that pops up that says the page is loading?

 

I got that yesterday when I was previewing a post! Personally I’ve always found those types of ads very annoying!

 

not cool at all...wondering if adware & spyware will follow.....

 

That is so weak....first they charge for membership, and now they make more dough from these damn pop-up ads...wow

 

I thought about this some more. If people are members; they shouldn't be subjected to unwanted ads where as people who didn't fork up cash to join should be subjected to anything the admin feels justified.

 

I didn’t start this thread to start bitching, I just wanted to know what it was about, and find out if others were experiencing it too.

I do appreciate this site and all of the information I access for free. If the people that run this site need to make some money because of all the time they put into it, so be it.

I am just concerned. I would like a mod or an admin to assure me that if I continue to use this forum my computer won’t become infested with adware and spyware.

Pop-ups should be removed...
Let me know if you guys are still getting them.

 

Thanks Kyle! I love the site and appreciate what you do!

 

good work gawzeela

 

use firefox... problems solved

 

pop-ups could also be caused by spyware/adware that is on your pc before you come to the forum. make sure if you are using windows you have installed service pack 2, and have the pop-up blocker turned on. google also has a decent one that comes with the toolbar. mozilla works pretty well by default. ad-aware is a decent spyware tool, but not nearly as strong as something you would pay for. ive sold network security tools for a few years, good luck
