Is anybody else having adds pop up? not normal popup adds, but ones that I can not close till they are done telling me whatever it is they want to tell me. So far it's onyl happened a few times and only on the main page. Needless to say, I am NOT pleased.

I'm not getting anything like that here but I am using Firefox with adblock plus, adblock filter set g, andadblock element hiding helper. No ads for me

**bobide** · December 10th, 10:03 AM

nope. I just run firefox with no ad-blocking or anything.

**big_balla** · December 10th, 10:57 AM

I got the adblock and filterset g on firefox. You fail at t3h internets without them.

IF you go to your PBF profile settings there is a check box at the very bottom that will disable the Itelitix ads that are embedded in the forum. Check the announcements too for other information.

Hope that solves the problem.

***martix_agent*** · December 10th, 04:19 PM

I've got the firefox adblocker running and turned off the add links nearly the second they were able to be turned off.

the good news is that it's not happened past thaat day.

***truebluefan*** · December 19th, 08:42 AM

yes we can disable them.

**kenny_1491** · December 19th, 08:49 AM

a 2k7'er admin?

***martix_agent*** · December 19th, 10:43 AM

where have you been all summer? he's the new cobra dude.

so this happened again last night. the add on the bottom of the page jumped up on top ofeverything and wouldn't go away till it was done doing it's advertising bit. I am not amused.

**kenny_1491** · December 19th, 10:51 AM

I figured that, after reading his sig.

***martix_agent*** · December 19th, 11:02 AM

ah ha! problem solved! I had to install teh new popup blocked on firefox. no more annoying add!

**kenny_1491** · December 19th, 11:16 AM

I jsut run firefox2, and nothing else. and I have yet to get a single pop-up on my computer.

Scan your PC in safe mode with AdAware (free) and Spybot search and destroy (free) and it will most likely get rid of the adware. If you need further help, you can go to PC Help Forum (google it, im not posting link.) And send them a HiJackThis report.

**doublethreatguy** · December 23rd, 07:51 PM

Haha, I doubt it's adware. It's not at all that uncommon for websites to have an AD like that.

Besides, he said it was fixed.

I'm running FF with Adblock Plus as well, and there's not a single ad for me either.

Umm, it is still POSSIBLE that it IS adware. I never said it IS for sure I said "Most Likely get rid of". ADWARE isnt hard to get AT ALL. And I have adblock, firefox and avast on my parents PC and IT STILL gets ads.

You saying "most likely get rid of" implies that you're saying there definitely is adware on his pc. Or else what would there be to "get rid of"? Therefore, by saying that, you were saying (in my eyes) that it is, for sure, the answer.

And you could have a ton of adblockers and still get adware. I have half of the adblockers you have and I haven't gotten a popup in over a year.

But we won't get technical. Plus, I'm not going to further hijack this thread.

***martix_agent*** · December 23rd, 10:27 PM

It was definitely an add on the page. once i updated the add blocker, the entire add it popped out of is gone.

ck_king · February 20th, 08:16 PM

ok i have internet explorer, and everytime i close out of it completly (which isn't very often) and had been on this forum, like a million popups come up after that. im probably the only one with this problem. it ony happens when i close it though, so not like a normal one.

EDIT: o and so i dont have to open a new thread for something so simple, what are the credits and why do i keep getting more and what do you use them for???
