The constant clicking noise is getting on my nerve.

weird...
I haven't had another 'pop-up attack' since i logged in...?? I swear I got the same ad, like 3 or 4 times in a very short period! Really! I would close the window, and bing! Back it came... I always close them as soon as I notice. 3 more... http://www.mustangworks.com/interact...oard/smile.gif |
I keep my sound volume down, so I don't hear the clicking...
and then there were two... |

Yeah, I don't mind the ads at the top, but the popups. that's a different story. I got 3 in a row then it crashed my Internet Explorer (version 5.5). Now that is annoying.

I understand the need to make a site profiable or at least try to break even,BUT once you close a popup window it should NOT return. You have seen the ad and now you want to see what you came to the site for!!!

I totally agree. At first, I thought it was AOHell, but soon I realized it was Mustangworks. With my 33.6 modem, I was shooing away the double popup piece crap ad once every thiry seconds.
Plus I have a lame 640 x 480 res monitor, and with AOL I have to maximize the screen to see anything. That's another few seconds every time that damn ad pops up. At least it doesn't seem to be up right now. |
OK...I understand the need to feed money to the site in the means of advertisement dollars, but this is pathetic.
If I close a pop up, I'm not interested and no matter how many times you bring it back in my face I don't want it. I have never seen a site that brings a pop up back 6 times like I just encountered trying to read the classifieds. Never again cause I'm not coming back till their gone! See ya!!!!!!!! |
I remember Dan said that the ads are fed in from another company. It IS annoying though. The survey's every once in a while aren't all that bad, but that credit card one reminded me of porn sites. Well, at least I heard that they did stuff like that. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

I've just returned from CyberBrawl. So, I'm not aware of the ad you are talking about and I haven't seen it yet. However, it is correct that a large percentage of our available advertising delivery is filled by an advertising corporation. We have a contract with them and they sell advertising on Mustang Works for us. Unfortunately, once in a while crap like this just shows up, and I have no prior warning of it.
If I see this ad, I'll quickly contact someone with our advertising firm and ask that it be removed from being delivered to MW's! ------------------ Dan McClain, Editor The Mustang Works Magazine 1991 Mustang GT - NOVI Supercharged 377 Stroker 1999 Ford Lightning SVT - Supercharged 5.4L Triton |
Right on, Dan!
I figured something like that must've happened. On my way over to see the results of CyberBrawl! Hope you stomped on some chevys! ------------------ Rob Wegner 90LX |
I only got that popup ad one time i was here, i did get it 2 more times after i closed it out it came back again and again.
hopefully it was a mistake on there part sending it here?? I spoke too soon, i came here and have gotten it about 5-6 times, shania twain and the bank on, close one out and the other pops up. [This message has been edited by lx mike (edited 07-24-2000).] |
Dan, it's doing it to me right now.
It's from First Freedom Financial. The URL is http://bankcard.directdeliverynetwork.com/ |
I'm going to E-Mail some people about this and see if I can stop that ad from being delivered here on the site. I don't like it either!!

Which is faster Dan, or the Death Machine?? Hopefully you are at like light speed, I just got nailed like 8 more times from those First Freedom jerks!
Thanks for looking into this, Dan! Later, Unit 5302. |
