Pop up's

Jeff-

Is my computer on crack, or am I supposed to be getting pop up advertisements on your site. Every time I post, click on the navigate forums thing, or click the back button on my browser, I get a script error, and then some add pops up to the effect of:

"Slow internet connection detected, click here to download software to speed it up." or somthing like that.

Is this supposed to be happening, or is my computer on crack, like I suggested before?

I've had it happen too and I saw that it was loading from doubleclick.com, so I guess it's part of the ads.

Yeah, I just got a couple of them, too. Pretty annoying, but Jeff has bills to pay.

I refuse to add a signature. Damn, too late.

Strange - it hasn't happened to me. So how could it have anything to do with Jeff and Coasterbuzz?

Yup, I saw that too.

It happened like once to me, but hasn't for a while.

If you remember, ads used to be from Burst! Media. Looks like he's changed advertising companies, and this is one of the effects.

I don't really care. If he gets more money, more power to him.

If anyone is getting pop-ups, please let me know post-haste who the advertiser is. You shouldn't be getting those under any circumstances because they piss me off and I have them disabled. It's possible that Doubleclick slipped one in and I'm not paying attention, but I haven't seen them. Again, please let me know.

Now that you mention it, I haven't seen one since I last posted.

Nope, didn't get it. *** This post was edited by force312 on 4/8/2001. ***

There is the address of the popup.

That's not it, that's the general address used for targeted ad serving.

The only way I can find the ad is if someone tells me the name of the advertiser.

I had the pop-up too. When I click on it, it directs me to a company called Ascentive which sells Internet software called webROCKET. Here is the link:

Here's the one I'm getting: http://www.ascentive.com/cgi-bin/click/DC211

I've gotten this pop-up the last four times I clicked on something here, over the span of the last ten minutes.

Yeah,thats the one I got too.

Thanks guys, I took out that ad extreme prejudice. It's bad enough I have to show you ads at all (remember to click on them, especially if they're from an amusement park), but pop-ups are just irritating as can be.
