Is it just me? Pop ups
 
Or is everyone getting 5 pop ups everytime they load a new page:rolleyes:

As if this site wasnt slow enough.

30 seconds for the page to load with a high speed cable connection and then I have to close 4-5 pop ups everytime I load a page.

It is so much work to navigate this site it almost isnt worth it:rolleyes:

Nope, its not just you. :confused: Ive also been getting alot of "Page cannot be found"

/raises hand/ Me Three!

Pop-ups have become really annoying. A couple here and there can be tolerated but I'm getting SEVERAL with every page load. Also, getting the 'page cannot be found' error too. I really like this site, but I'm find myself visiting less and less...

I get some, but I don't think I am having quite the problem you guys are:confused: .

Fox Body 12-10-2003 11:10 AM

Hmmm. Well, I don't have that problem at all....... that's b/c I have a pop-up blocker. ;) When I turn it off, though, I see all the stuff popping up. :(

There's a free one that you can download from Google. They have the best search engine I know about right now, so I assume their pop-up blocker is worth something. Try it out....

joe4speed 12-10-2003 11:24 AM

Pop-ups suck! I have a blocker too, but I hear the noise of it blocking them and it does seem to be alot. I really hate the new kind on other pages, like msn.com, that are like a Java and they have sound, but the pop-up blockers don't stop them.

Hethj7 12-10-2003 11:33 AM

Joe, that red type in your sig is hurting my eyes:p. Tough to see it on the gray background.

if you use google search engine it will block the pop up ads. i have not even got one pop on here once using google and its been close to a month i have been using it....... hope that helps some of you

I agree that there have been alot of pop-ups lately. The speed of the site seems to vary for me. Some days, it's quick and the pages load without any hassles....but other days, I get 'page cannot be found' messages and it feels like I'm on dial-up.

Regarding pop-ups, does anyone else think it's ironic that there are pop-up windows advertising a pop-up blocker?

One more thing, ever since I switched my service to Comcast a few months ago, I seem to get ALOT more pop-ups than I used to. If I leave my computer on for a half hour, I come back to 20-25 pop-up windows. My computer has froze many times because of this.

I usually get only 1 pop-up when I log on. That flying eBay thing was about as irritating as pop-ups go. This time I got 3. Seems everytime today, I get one each time I click on something.

The advertisers don't make a dime off of me. When I want something, I'll go searching for it. Just like telemarketers, I never purchase from them.

Slow loading, and "cannot be found" is happening quite a bit lately.
"The page cannot be displayed" came up 3 times while trying to submit this post. Hope we don't get duplicate posts, if so, sorry!

I realize this site can use the income from the ads, but.......

EDIT: It's a fact: each time I click to a different link now, I get a pop-up. Spending too much time deleting them... Later guys.

Google tool bar Pop-up blocker works pretty darn good. I only get one here, every once in a while.

StangFlyer 12-10-2003 07:09 PM

The pop-ups should be seriously reduced now. We had added a secondary ad company to deliver left over ads on the site, but they are delivering way to many pop-ups for my tastes also... So, I deactivated those ads.

DemonGT 12-11-2003 07:55 AM

not sure if you guys are talken bout pop ups just one mustangworks or in general..but there are alot of pop ups at are actually on your computer that are put there by sites...you can use a blocker to block them but there still there on your computer...i remove them..search for a Spyware program that will find spyware on your computer and remove it..i have the new mcafee virus scan and has that built in...

Dark_5.0 12-11-2003 08:50 AM

It is much better now.

Thank you,

StangFlyer 12-11-2003 02:45 PM

Yeah, there is a lot of useless "software" around the web that will install spyware and adware on your system when you install it. A great piece of software is "Ad-Ware" by Lavasoft. It will scan your registry and all the files on your computer and remove all the spyware/ad-ware that's been installed on your system. You can download the standard edition for free.

I agree... Adaware rocks! It works very well.

Here is a great pop up blocker I have been using the "30 day trial"version for the last 2 years or so Click here let me know what you guys think of it . :cool:

KiltedBanshees93GT 12-15-2003 01:50 AM

Also, if anyones using netscape , we just noticed that it has a pop up blocker built in, :D since we activated it, pop ups are a thing of the past. (the pop up manager feature is listed under "tools" tab)

Hope it helps,
J
